FXOpen Alternatives

[Gekko614]

Can anyone recommend a safe, reputable platform similar to FXOpen, but ok to use for US residents?

Be more precise. Which type of trading platform are you looking for ? There are tons of different ones in crypto-land.

What attracted me to FXOpen was it looks like you can move relatively easily between USD, BTC, and a handful of altcoins, and it's laid out in a way that's similar to traditional Forex. I was going to go for it, until I saw that I can't because I'm a US resident.

So basically I'm wondering if there is a platform that is like Forex in speed, cross-currency trading, and not too crazy a learning curve, like FXOpen, but can be used in the US.

the top exchanges are good in speed, and the coins they have listed differ from site to site. and i know that btc-e doesn't care where you come from and has some of the altcoins.
but you can check them all here and see which platform you like best (the list is sorted based on daily volume and has the list of coins that they offer):

Few exchanges that allow you to move between bitcoins, altcoins and fiat currencies:

• Poloniex (not real USD, but USDT)
• BTC-E
• Kraken
• and more... if you're not satisfied with these few exchanges, check out coinmarketcap list that pooya87 posted

1Broker and recently created WhaleClub.co are great for trading forex pairs along with some other equities and commodities.
