Brokers

Hey guys what brokers do you suggest for u.s. traders? I know the rule is that brokers can’t market and say that they accept u.s. traders. But that doesn’t mean the u.s. trader can’t use them as a broker. So I know some brokers explicitly don’t allow you to open an account, and some do. (Even though they both state at the bottom of the page, they don’t accept residents of the United States) So which ones have you found?

Choosing the right broker is one of the most important decisions a trader makes. Regulation, execution quality, spread markup, and ease of deposits and withdrawals all vary significantly depending on where you're located and which regulatory jurisdiction covers you. Many brokers advertise as "regulated" while operating under jurisdictions with lax rules and minimal enforcement, so knowing the difference matters. The community wiki maintains broker recommendations vetted by professional traders, organized by region and regulatory body. Each guide covers what to look for, what to avoid, and which specific brokers serve that region well. Regional guides: **USA** | **Canada** | **Australia** | **UK** | **Europe** | **International** For platform comparisons and demo accounts, see the **platforms overview**.

That wiki list is a decent starting point but it's mostly the mainstream NFA-regulated names. If you're poking around the edges looking for higher leverage, you already know you'd be under an offshore entity with all the risk that entails. Dig through the reviews on ForexPeaceArmy, plenty of US traders leaving feedback on stuff that technically doesn't market to us.
