A few weeks ago, after trying a demo account for a month, I opened a mini live account. Compared to other brokers, QuestradeFX requires a large amount of documents to open an account. I don't like their web-based Java trading platform, it's too slow to start. It also doesn't support hedging and doesn't display swap rates, which is annoying for carry trades. The charts and customer service are acceptable. I chose QuestradeFX because I can easily transfer funds from my stock trading accounts, which are also with Questrade. Once I gain more experience, if the aforementioned issues are not resolved and no automated system (such as Metatrader) is added, I will consider switching to another platform.
