Which online FOREX broker is recommended for trading in the United Arab Emirates? Hi everyone, I live in the United Arab Emirates and would like to know, which forex broker can I use to trade online.

I have googled and found a couple of sites but would like to know if someone has a good experience and can recommend me here. Thanks & Regards Ecronic

Using a broker vs. Online Trading? I have a stock account that I've had for a long time -- I don't know if I'd classify it as major, but I have some money in there. Currently I use a broker that manages and maintains everything for me. I sat down, took a look at my statements over the years. The account has stayed stable, but isn't really increasing in value. The times I've spoken to my broker and made recommendations, she doesn't really seem to listen. Granted the market is a tad rocky, but I'd like to start seeing some increase in value. I'm 33, married with 2 kids and feel like I could afford to be a bit more agressive at this point. I've thought about pulling my account and managing it myself. Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations about online trading? Just a sidenote that a relative (my mother's cousin) is the one who has managed my account which is why I somewhat trusted her to keep my best interests in mind. I don't think it's happening anymore.

What is a good online stock trading broker?

I wanted to know from anyone that is a novice, intermediate, or very experienced online stock trader which brokers they have used, the pros and cons to each one (ease of use, reasonable fees), and ultimately which broker they currently use.

Online trading with LLC, Corperate or Individual account? I want to start an individual account with an online broker, specifically, with my LLC. One trading site says that a sole proprietorship entity will be included with the individual account because "A sole proprietorship is closely related in the sense that the account is registered to a business with a single owner who is, in effect, the business and therefore controls all of the assets in the account." but I would like to know if the LLC of mine would also be included. It IS considered a sole proprietorship by all tax definitions and is a flow-thru (also known as 'disregarded entity') letting me be taxed on the individual level. It is also not a DBA LLC but has my full name in the LLC. But, if my single-owner LLC is not included in the individual account criteria, is this just company policy or would this have tax/IRS consequences if I were to use an individual account for my LLC? Thank you so much for your time, I know it's quite a dousy of a question!
