Hi, I am happy to hear that you moved from the very poor-quality and bad brokers to OctaFX. OctaFX is probably the best from the brokers that you have experience with. But, still, OctaFX is offering 50% deposit bonus which is a prove, that something ...

You can find my opinion on the "only withdrawals matter" when choosing a broker here. Regarding the money management, I usually use fixed volume (if I donīt have to set some multiple value of stop-loss than I usually set) and letīs say each 2,5 k ...

In my opinion, Dukas used to be one of the best brokers in the world, if not the best. But they changed a lot, they are offering binary options, a lot of contests and % deposit bonuses. They are also offering poker casino. So for me, they are not ...
