According to the website, NewForex representatives are available to help traders 24/7 via chat or telephone to any of the broker’s locations. Email communication and skype are also offered. I sent a question to a representative on Chat and the response was immediate and informative.

Conclusion

NewForex is certainly a new broker on the block. The website is easy to navigate and there is a choice of two different trading accounts. But there are some important features missing and trading can only be done on a web based platform to trade on which is not always accessible to traders.

Features

There are some nice features at NewForex. The ones that stand out are the forum and the Trading Session Map. The Trading Session Map which is a highly interactive way of tuning in to all the online sessions offered by the broker throughout the world while the forum offers traders a way of socially communicating with other registered traders. In addition, the numerous educational offerings at NewForex are of high quality and informative.
