Masterforex-V Academy’s Rating of Micro Brokers
10 May 02:04 PM
These days Forex industry offers a huge variety of services. Even beginning traders with small trading capital have an opportunity to trade Forex on micro-accounts (starting from $1). Probably, some of you have some questions like:
What are micro-accounts? Why are they so popular among beginners? Why are beginners recommended to choose micro-accounts (usually $1 to $50) when deciding to switch to real-money trading? Which micro-brokers are the most popular and reliable? Let’s try to answer them.
Micro-brokers: Specifics.
Micro-brokers are those brokers that allow micro-lot trading. According to Eugene Olkhovsky, Masterforex-V Academy ’s leading expert in financial markets from Canada, on the face of it, micro-trading looks like an unpromising and unprofitable market niche. Obviously, any broker would rather have one big-scale client with substantial funds to trade (say, $50-100K) rather than dealing with hundreds of micro traders with tiny trading capital (say, $10-100).
But in reality, micro-trading is promising for those fair and reliable brokers who are interested in long-term cooperation with successful traders because some of those beginners may eventually grow into professional traders managing 10-100K accounts and allowing the broker to generate stable profits on spreads and commissions.
That is the reason why major Forex brokers (like Forex club, Alpari, FxOpen, BMFN, FIBO Group, FXDD) occupy the micro-trading niche. They understand that micro-accounts are beginner’s first steps in the Forex trading environment. Later they might turn into big-scale traders operating substantial funds.
On the other hand, micro-accounts are the best option for beginning traders, Eugene Olkhovsky says. Micro-accounts are the most suitable accounts when it comes to testing your trading system or overcoming greed, nervousness and excitement. These are the traits beginning traders must get rid of to become professionals. Another reason to trade micro-accounts is to find out whether a particular broker is reliable and suitable for you in terms of trading conditions. If this is a scam broker trying to make you lose your micro-deposit, then obviously it isn’t worth trusting.
22 brokers that allow micro-trading:
Masterforex-V Academy’s rating of Forex micro-brokers (those brokers that allow traders to open micro-accounts up to $50 and to trade 0.01 lot) counts 22 brokers. So, far over 35 000 traders have participated in the open voting. The voting is not over yet. The preliminary results look as follows:
Nord FX and Alpari are the unquestionable leaders among micro-brokers
Nord FX and Alpari occupy the first to standings in the rating. They are the most popular brokers among micro-traders.
Both the broking companies had perfect initial standings in Masterforex-V Academy’s main rating of Forex brokers (they represent the TOP 10 of Forex brokers). Nord FX started with 669 rating points while Alpari had 447 rating points before the voting. For now, they have a surplus of +1319 and +1181 points correspondingly.
Let’s have a look at their trading conditions:
Only 3 other micro-brokers can compete with Nord Fx and Alpari.
These are FX Clearing, FxOpen, Roboforex. They show positive dynamics as more beginning traders start trusting them.
Now let’s talk about mediocre micro-brokers.
FreshForex, Forex4You, Manors Group Broker, Lite Forex, BMFN, Forex Broker, Grand Capital, FX Start.
Manors Group Broker is showing the best dynamics of votes. More and more traders chose MGB’s innovation products and services.
Outsiders
And finally, let’s have a look at the list of outsiders. They are represented either by young and unknown brokers (they have failed to accumulate a substantial amount of votes) or by brokers with negative client feedback - lots of claims and negative votes (for example, Instaforex).
The bottom line:
Not all the micro-brokers are the same. Even though Nord FX and Alpari seem to be dominating the micro-broking niche, everything can change. Every single vote matters, yours as well!
Therefore, in order to participate in the voting, please, follow the link, sing up and cast your vote.
Market Leader and Masterforex-V Academy would appreciate if you could participate in a survey. Please, visit the Academy’s forum for traders and investors and answer the following question:
In your opinion, which micro-broker is the best?

МТ 4 Starter - Forex Evolution
These days, traders are offered a sea of moneymaking opportunities when it comes to trading Forex and other financial markets. Broking companies keep evolving along with the markets, thereby offering more and more competitive trading conditions along with innovative products and services to let their clients improve the quality of their trading.
At the same time, more broking companies become oriented towards beginners. They understand that it is beginning traders who will make the future of Forex and other financial markets. They are willing to help them to grow into winning professionals since they hope for long-term cooperation with them.
That is why brokers open cent accounts and introduce various bonuses and promotions to help beginners make their first steps in a rough trading environment.
FIBO Group is one of such client-oriented broking companies.

HY Markets: $100 For Opening a Trading Account
The world of Forex is getting more competitive and sophisticated. Broking companies have to offer their clients beneficial trading conditions to stay competitive. Big-scale old broking companies seem to have a slight competitive edge over young ones since they have decent experience and know how to arrange mutually beneficial cooperation.
HY Markets is one of such companies. It has been in the industry for over 3 decades! Even though this is an institutional broker, not so long ago it introduced beneficial conditions for beginning traders in order to get them up and running.

FBS: Beneficial Affiliate Program
These days, anyone can make money trading Forex and other financial markets. The opportunities are almost endless. Still most traders still lose in the long run. While some lack experience and skills, others fall prey to emotions or fail to stick to sound money management. There are many reasons for losses. Few people actually make money in the long run because they treat trading seriously like a full-time job and work hard to achieve their goals. They use technical and fundamental analyses and strictly observe money management rules. They use various tricks and techniques to put the odds in their favor.
Apparently, beginners have difficulty trading financial markets without knowledge, skills and experience. Becoming a professional trader requires diligence, patience and time.
However, today’s Forex industry offers riskless moneymaking opportunities, which require no trading skills. You can make money without trading Forex. One of such opportunities is offered by FBS, a major Forex broker. The broker claims to offer “The most profitable and efficient IB Program on Forex”…
Let’s have a closer look at it:
