Brokers and prop firm I use

I recommend only what I use. I have been a client of IC Markets, IC Trading and FTMO for many years.

Risk. Trading carries a high level of risk and you can lose more than you expected. This page is information about what I use, not advice to trade or to open an account. Read the Risk Disclosure.

Affiliate links

The name of each company on this page is a link, and these links are affiliate links. If you open an account or buy something through one of them, the company may pay me a commission. You pay the same price. They carry rel="sponsored" and open in a new tab. Read the Affiliate Disclosure.

Broker: IC Markets

IC Markets is the broker of the DRF Signal account and the broker I use myself. The Signal account is a hedge account in euros, with leverage 1:500, on the server ICMarketsSC-MT5-3 in New York.

Broker for Brazil and Europe: IC Trading

If you live in Brazil or in Europe, IC Trading is the one I suggest. I have been a client for many years.

Prop firm: FTMO

If you want to trade with a proprietary trading firm, FTMO is my suggestion, for traders anywhere in the world. I use an FTMO Classic account, the FTMO Swing type, because it leaves me full freedom in how I trade. The rules of each programme change, so read the current ones on their site before you pay for anything. The Prop Firm Drawdown Calculator can show how much room a set of limits leaves you.
