Help!!! US Traders, We Must Stand Up and Fight

OK, so I see everyone wants to have the pessimistic attitude. How about the people between the peons and the banks. For example, I'm getting to the point where my trade size will be around 5 lots. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable with my account ...

Yes, the world is a mess and getting worse. I agree. This thread was not created to solve the world, I'm just looking for US traders to stand up and demand our rights to trade as the rest of the world does. How do we do it?

FXCM Discussion

The reality is, in the two recent events that come to mind.......Why was anyone short CHF and why on earth was anyone long GBP? Once those questions are answered, we can determine who is at fault. the issue I have is this....my "unregulated", ECN ...

FXCM Discussion

All GBP pairs, GBPAUD, GBPCAD and GBPNZD actually moved the most. I doubt they will protect you from spikes, as these were found on every broker, it was the actual price moving. It's the brokers who have spikes you cannot find anywhere else that are ...

You must be using a safe, reliable NFA "regulated" broker. lol. You need to use an "unregulated", ECN broker. The NFA/CFTC has no clue what they are regulating or how to regulate it. Their focus is on all the wrong things....lower leverage, ban ...

Strangest thing....my "unregulated offshore ECN broker did not freeze price once during GBP moves earlier, yet "regulated", safe, reliable market maker Oanda froze GBPJPY and EURGBP. Good thing they are under the watchful eye of the CFTC. Keep ...

OANDA Discussion

Way more money in forex. That's the whole point of what US regulators are doing, need to bring everyone back to what they want them to trade, equities and futures. Not to mention, minimum leverage, big deposit requirements for day trading, etc. This ...

Reality of FOREX: my experience with brokers + share yours

So if proper regulation is key, which I absolutely agree with, US residents should not trade forex. The regulation here is far from proper. In addition to the way they regulate here, they prevent us from using any regulated broker not in the US. So ...
