Been wanting to start trading with a forex broker, as I just finished my course in the school of pipsology. Since I'm from Greece itself, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good broker before I start live trading.
Thank you in advance!

Since everything is online now you are not limited to brokers from Greece and there are a lot out there.

Think first about what you need from a broker being someone just starting out;

You will need to consider;

What markets do they cover?
What platforms? (eg mt4)
Demo accounts?
Micro accounts?
Fixed spreads?
Negative balance protection?
Mobile trading platforms?
Easy deposit/withdrawal.
Good customer service.

- Only deposit money you can afford to lose.
- IMO which regulator the broker is covered by is not so important to begin with as the money amounts you are using should be small anyway untill you gain experience. And the stronger the regulation will mean the broker has much tougher entry criteria and more expensive costs passed onto the client.

all of those things are needed to be a success too not optional

Out of curiosity, why from Greece? I don't think I know any in particular, but there are a lot of options out there from various other places. Is there a specific reason for that location?

I assume you live in or are from Greece? You may struggle to find good quality Greek brokers but I may be entirely ignorant in saying that. As mentioned above write down a list of conditions that are mandatory for you and those that are optional and find whoever suits that best. Don't discount offshore for you if the conditions are right for you though.

@ogee
Thanks! will keep it in mind.

Ah, though it would be a good idea to start trading with one that is local to my area as I’m from Greece. If there is not, then I wouldn’t mind any regulated one that accepts Greek clients like me
but I am wondering surely there must be a few from Greece?

I know one from Greece with HCMC regulation, aaafx. Also, fxgrow is HCMC regulated but they are from Cyprus.
tho, you can try some global brokers like fxpro, and icmarkets.
All are good to use.
