I'm impressed with Friedberg Direct/AvaTrade Canada! They offer swap-free accounts, which align with my values, and are regulated by CIRO. Their customer service was smooth, with great follow-up. I appreciate their cautious approach, verifying trading experience before proceeding. Unlike some other brokers, they didn't pressure me to fund my account without ensuring I was prepared for the volatile market. Thanks to AvaTrade for prioritizing client care and providing swap-free options.
