    Hi Everybody.
    I'm a full-time trader, exclusively trading a couple exotic pairs.

    I've been trading with mostly retail brokers outside the US. I've just moved back to the US, and would like to know: what type of credentials and account size/volume would I need to trade with a US-based PoP/Mini-Prime broker?

    Any help would be appreciated!
     
  2. I use Onada. you don't need a broker to trade forex,you don't need any credentials.I love Oanda because they have such tight spreads you'll be able to find the exotic pairs you speak of some platforms do not support them so make sure they're available to you

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Could anyone weigh in on: what type of credentials and account size/volume would I need to trade FX with a US-based PoP/Mini-Prime broker?
