Best Forex Brokers in Singapore (Updated)

I decided to update this page to reflect the changes in Oanda Platform.

Oanda (MT4 trading platform, iPhone app and unit size trading)

I like Oanda because of (1) Low spreads (not anymore), and (2) Ability to trade in units, instead of the typical lot sizes.

For instance, normal brokers require you to trade in 0.1,0.2....1,2,3 lots. But with Oanda, you can trade 1unit, 1001units (1 micro lotand 1unit), 10,001 (1 mini lot and 1 unit), or 100,001(1 lot and 1 unit). This gives you the flexibility to manage your risk to the very unit.

However, I would like to add that Oanda has disappointed me of late. Their spreads are getting wider. Typical euro spread is 1.1 Typical AUD/USD spread is 1.8.

And Oanda do not practice carry trade. If you were to long EUR/USD overnight, you have to pay interest. If you were to long GBP/USD overnight, you also have to pay interest. The only pair that you will gain interest is if you long AUD/USD.

It NEVER used to be like that. And when I asked their customer service what is the reason for this, they gave me a link to calculate the overnight interest rate, and they expect me to understand just by reading their mathematical explanation. Oanda is very clever, you know why? They hide everything behind mathematics and codes.

Other brokers include GFT Asia, CMC Markets and IG Markets.

If you can find a better broker, please let me know.

Three FOREX Methods and Concepts
Pips
When you trade foreign exchanges certain values are ascertained to
the currency prices. Those values are referred as pips. The more number
of pips you gain the higher are your profits. For example if you have
allotted .1 $ value for a pip and you gain 10 pips on that day then your
profit can be calculated by multiplying the value of a pip with the total
number of pips gained i.e. 10* .1 $ =1 $

Volume
Volume refers to the extent of trade activities that take place on one
particular day. In other words it denotes the amount of money transacted
during the day. These volumes are dependent on how busy the exchanges are
working. Whenever there is break or less business the volume will be less
. Since people work by taking different time zones into account the volume
of these exchanges always tend to be very high.

Buying and Selling
They constitute the core activities. You must always buy foreign exchanges
when the prices decline sharply and sell them when they increase rapidly in a
stock exchange. However these activities take place differently in a foreign
exchange. The buyers will get the currencies after anticipating the fall in price
but they will also sell it at a lower price on the assumption that prices will
further fall so they can buy them back at a very lower price.
