Hello jonirrenicus,Originally Posted by ;
I can not let you know what is the best because it could be regarded as a free advertisement on this particular forum. About your 5 requests I've got some observations:
1)You have to be aware you could negotiate big volumes together with your best broker, no maximum, everything could be negotiable .
2)Around UK brokers you can record them and get them via these links https://www.fca.org.uk/ and https://www.100forexbrokers.com/fsa-regulated-brokers
3) don't use VPS, rather utilized dedied servers colloed with your broker hardware; why no other VPS? Well VPS companies virtualize (divide) too much their hardware to many customers so that your maths / analysis ability is restricted or (VPS CPU overloaded) . Prefer Dedied servers tiers 4 or 3 from information centers with back security (RAID technology or equal). Do not use Wifi or roaming tech.as you may pay the hard price with big latency compare to colloed servers using low latency (a few ms)
4) About spreads you are able to negotiate also along with your broker. It's up to you to initiate exceptional rules with big Lots or at periods that are special.
5) MT4 and MT5 , you will find plenty's
You have to be aware of the way your broker will use you. What is his egy? I know a number of those who make two types of traders. The winners and the losers. About the losers , the broker will systematically take opposites volumes trades /positions to secure potential broker reduction. About winners, the broker will classify the best ones in order to hook some trades ( follow the best traders) with the remaining capital from the non trading accounts. (dead accounts).
You need to trade via multiple brokers also to get sure be filled with your egy, in case your single broker will be away . Inconvenient is that it will divide your capital.
That I think you've got to do some house work with research and contacts with a few brokers accepting your trading egy.
The ideal broker will be the one which you will accept to exchange with.
Joyful trading
Sincerely
