I recently completed a trading course, and I was ready to open my first real trading account. I am grateful that the course included a lesson on how to choose a broker; otherwise, it would have been a daunting task for me. Even now, it is hard to choose one among hundreds of options. I decided to go with ActivTrades. In my opinion, this is a well-balanced brokerage. It has an impressive reputation for providing reliable services, and its trading conditions with the Individual trading account are competitive. Choosing a reputable broker is always a good idea.
