They might even start bugging you with phone calls. Now that is a smart marketing strategy.Above all, you need to be able to make contacts with broker at any given time and on any give issue.
Reliability
You must have gone through reviews to see if there are bad comments about your choice broker before you register with them.You must be sure their platform runs well without signs of requote orders or errors on their part. These could really affect your trading especially when trading fundamentals.You would also need a broker that can make you withdraw funds almost instantly from your account through electronic transfer or lesser time through bank wire and the others.
Platform
