Started from HF Markets but the spread was too high, moved to Exness but I didnt like the slippage, moved to FxPro but spread was still too high and finally settled with Just Markets.

Always been a fan of fixed spread brokers so I cut my teeth with AvaTrade (my first broker) then later moved on to TD 365. If I ever stop using fixed spread brokers, I will go for one with raw spread.

I chose HFM cause of my experience with them. They have a very good customer support. I also love their zero spread. The deposit requirement is 5$ which is enough for any beginner trader.

I have traded with exness before, I don’t really like their spread. The fact that I can’t even have access to their zero spread account except I have used a particular lot size on other accounts. HFM profers me the opportunity to use a zero spread account no matter what lotsize I have used on previous account

Exactly why I prefer it to other brokerage firm

Is the HFM zero spread account truly zero spread? Do you mean that they do not charge you any spread? Pls what is the XAU/USD and EUR/USD average spread you get on a good day and how much is the commission?

Interesting. HFM should try to add TradingView as one of their platforms.

It's really hard finding a broker that ticks all my boxes, they always have one shortcoming or the other. I am still searching
