Choose the best broker

The trading environment is an essential part of trading. In fact, it is the most important part we must work on to succeed in the long term once we have a winning strategy. As you might know, the main official RobinVOL account already lost more than 400 pips due to execution delays and slippage, specially since January. That made me start the search of the most reliable broker.

Find here the details of the broker analysis and the reasons why we think AxiTrader is the best broker to trade RobinVOL.

AxiTrader is offering RobinVOL customers an account with the following characteristics (slightly different conditions applies to US residents):

  • ECN account (normal account for US customers)
  • Raw spreads 0 to 0.4 on average (1.2 average spread for US customers)
  • $7 commission round turn, $1 is returned to the customer as rebate on the trading account (so the cost is $6) (no commission for US customers)
  • Ability to trade 0.01 lots (exclusive to RobinVOL customers)
  • Free VPS (10 lots per month required for RobinVOL users, reduced from 100 for regular AxiTrader customers)
  • AxiTrader covers transfer fees for money transferred from other brokers (exclusive to RobinVOL users) (there is a limit here and a proof is required)
  • Multiple funding methods and currencies and free first time funding for some kind of payment types

Choose account currency and leverage

With the RobinVOL recommended settings we will always be far away from the margin limit established by the leverage. As a result, RobinVOL should work with any leverage you choose.
It is best to select your country’s currency. Otherwise you will be adding additional risk (adverse exchange rate movement) and costs for exchanging money.
