    Currency Future Trading

    Recommend me a forex broker that you have an acct with..

    Their website www.mrcmarkets.com is simply blank. How can you trust a broker with an empty website? Their Russian website doesn't have any info about any Indian representative. Looks strange, to say at least!

    You can go through recent topics to find answers to your questions. In brief, there are several companies providing USD/INR pair.

    Any Forex Brokers in India ?

    Yep, but this is a different thing. Probably it's unofficial representatives or official partners/affiliates or something like that. If they had a real office it would be better in terms of customer service - people in India could call somebody inside the country and ask questions, visit an...

    I checked AVAFX's website and couldn't find any information regarding offices in India. Probably, those mentioned are unofficial offices. As for the initial question, most brokers accept online currencies like eGold, WebMoney (both inwards and outwards), etc, plus credit cards (only inwards)...
