Two new companies have been added to the directory of brokers on EarnForex.com this week: WatanFX — a Pakistani Forex broker with an English/Urdu website. It is a brand new broker and they offer MT4 trading with as little as $1 and up to 1:400 leverage — all with variable spreads. WatanFX SimpleFX — an offshore Forex broker that went online in 2014. SimpleFX offers MT4 and a custom proprietary web interface for MetaTrader, which is indeed very simplistic. Trading can be started with $1 and the maximum leverage of 1:500 can be used. The variable spread on major currency pairs is very low. SimpleFX
