Review
For those of you using automated forex software such
as Forex MegaDroid to
automate your trading, FXOpen
might just be the broker for you.
Not only does it support the all important
MetaTrader 4 platform, it also has one of the quickest (if
not the best) execution speed of all the MT 4 brokers.

FXOpen comes with fixed spreads
of 2 to 4 pips for the major currency pairs. You only need a
bare minimum of $1 for a micro account and $25 for a
standard account, though FXOpen recommends that you start
with $300-$500. Beginners can open a free demo account and
start practising within 15 secs of filling up a simple
application form.
One of the great things about FXOpen is that they have partners
all over the world in such far flung places as Italy,
Malaysia, Brazil, Indonesia, Iran, Philippines, etc. Their
support is pretty comprehensive with different phone numbers
for the USA, Egypt, UK, France, Switzerland and Hong
Kong.
A drawback of FXOpen is that you can’t deposit
money into your account through your credit card. Instead,
you are offered 7 options: Wire transfer from your bank
account, local deposit, Western Union, Liberty Reserve,
E-Bullion, CashU, WebMoney, or E-gold. There’s good feedback
from existing customers though about the fast speed of cash
withdrawal compared to other brokers.
The platform is straightforward to use and
comes with all the expected features such as stop loss,
limit orders, trailing stop loss and take profit levels. It
also comes with a nice little one-time bonus of $100 once
you accumulate 10 standard lots for the first time.
Good news too for Islamic traders is that
no swap trading is available in FXOpen.
Everything considered, FXOpen has everything a forex
trader could ask for. If you are using an automated forex
trading robot, this will be the broker for you.
Verdict
FXOpen's fast executation speed and
feature list makes it the best forex broker today and
receives our highest recommendations.
