How to choose a reliable broking company in the Forex industry? Thousands of Forex traders ask this question every day. This will always be one of the key issues for traders, especially newbies. Sometimes it happens that even professionals choose the wrong partner who turns out to be a scammer. When you work with an unreliable broking company, it becomes secondary whether you are a winning trader. Therefore, it is crucial to choose the right broking company that won’t let you down…
Still, beginners sometimes have difficulty telling scammers from reliable brokers. How to define which brokers are the industry’s best?
Looking For Best Brokers
Eugene Olkhovsky, Masterforex-V Academy’s leading experts in financial markets from Canada, says that in order to help beginning (and experienced) traders to choose a broking company from the list of reliable brokers, Masterforex-V Academy created its own unbiased rating of Forex brokers based on objective quantitative criteria. Not so long ago, it expanded the list of the criteria.
New Criterion
A couple of months go, Masterforex-V Academy (Europe’s Best Forex Training Project 2009-2013) decided to introduce a new extra criterion to make the rating even more objective and transparent. PR became an extra criterion. Why? It is because innovation is some of the key factors to consider when it comes to evaluating the quality of dealing offered by a certain broking company. Innovative solutions reflect the real state of affairs. If a broker is interested in cooperating with brokers, it will strive to make trading as comfortable and efficient as possible. Obviously, innovative solutions need promotion through various advertising and PR campaigns. This holds true for any highly-competitive industry. A wise and honest approach to promoting products and services may eventually help a certain company to win the hearts and minds of thousands (if not millions) of consumers.
When it comes to evaluating a certain company’s PR campaign, Masterforex-V Academy takes into account its overall activity, including advertising, licenses, participation in major event, sponsorship, donation, workshops and trainings etc.
Still, Masterforex-V Expo includes a lot more ratings composed for different regions. In particular, there is a rating of the best brokers in the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States, most of which are ex-USSR countries).
Best Brokers of the CIS
The rating is based on 3 major criteria: search requests (wordstat.yandex.ru), frequency of mentioning (news.yandex.ru) and the region of analysis (the CIS). The current rating looks as follows:
The TOP 3 is occupied by TeleTrade, Alpari and Forex Club. All of these companies are major brokers with decades of operating history, multiple licenses, awards and offices across the CIS and all around the world.
The list of outsiders includes:
- Interactive Brokers;
- Dukascopy Bank.
- LIONSTONE Investment
