There is such a misconception that foreign PAMM brokers are better than domestic ones. It arose after our traders in the nineties burned at unscrupulous DCs.
But in fact, people working in the West are pursuing the same goals. The advantages of foreign brokers include the depth of the market, the speed of execution, "rabid" liquidity, individual features of terminals. However, there are also disadvantages: prohibition of locked positions, unfriendly interface, another system of orders, unlimited spread. As a rule, the trading conditions of Western brokers are much tougher.
This applies not only to spreads, but also to the leverage, swaps. Often there are slips. This is a natural process for large foreign companies that are slow in a rapidly changing, highly competitive market. Although recently many foreign brokers have lowered minimum deposits, and also acquired Russian-language support. However, the shoulder( which is extremely important) remained at the same level.
