Broker services on Forex

Forex brokers trade currencies on behalf of their clients. They:

• Supply their clients with a forex trading platform
• Provide real-time market quotes
• Execute buy and sell orders
• Allow their clients to trade on margin
• Carry out market analysis and provide recommendations
• Ensure their clients' security and anonymity

Unless you're a major financial institution trading directly in the forex market, you need a broker. How do you evaluate brokers and choose the right one for you?
