If it looks too good to be true, it's probably a scam! Let the buyer beware.

Hi everyone..... I'm trading Forex only - major pairs. I am a newbie and I can't really understand how exactly the news are effecting the market price. Is it enough to concentrate on the technical analysis?
In my opinion, to be a truly great trader you need to understand both technical and fundamental analysis.

Oanda has two options for traders in their pricing.
One with with commission and a slightly lower spread, or you can opt out of commissions and get pure spread only.
Both are extremely reasonable. The typical spread on Oanda without the commission is around 2 PIPS on EURUSD, with the commission it's about 1 PIP.
I have accounts at both Oanda and Traders Way, and I've never had a problem with either of them. I do like oanda though, because on smaller accounts you can trade smaller than 0.01 lot sizes on their standard forex accounts.

OANDA is a good broker from what I've heard and read. I've seen very very few bad reviews - everything else is positive. I've never tried to trade with them, but got curious now... and it sounds 'safe' enough :D

My recommendation is that whatever broker you pick because someone recommended them to you, always check for yourself whether there have been any warnings or fines against them. (https://www.forexbrokerz.com/news/tags/warning). Do your own research and if you’re satisfied with the results and the terms and conditions of said broker sign up with them.
