Oh, please don't take me the wrong way. I am only trying to be helpful. I trade where I trade because I'm in US and don't have many options. It's either be cheated or go offshore. However, if you are not in US, there are many GREAT options to chose ...

Reality of FOREX: my experience with brokers + share yours

It may be broker specific what they offer on each platform.

Great idea. I have a demo with FXOpen for all of my charting and indicators and leave my live account free of all of that.

Dragon Riders GBP/JPY

Wow, have you done any research at all on Octafx? I mean, I really don't understand some folks choices for brokers. I can see making a bad decision when there are mixed reviews, but can you find just one good review on Octa? Where do people get the ...

Reality of FOREX: my experience with brokers + share yours

I use "land of the free" as sarcasm as I do not understand why we are not free to trade restriction free as the rest of the world. When you read the fine print at the brokers who won't accept US clients, it is generally "we do not accept clients ...

Reality of FOREX: my experience with brokers + share yours

I fully agree. However, the issue then in the US, "land of the free", is the laymen who want to trade a small deposit into a larger account will never succeed simply due to the brokers they must trade with. Those brokers are only there to bleed that ...

Or in a US regulated firm, would have gotten nothing as well. Funny thing is, traders in the US think NFA and CFTC are protecting them.

Alpari UK bankruptcy update: 79 cents on the dollar

Wow, too funny. They deleted my post that contained a link to a MT4 plug-in used to scam traders out of money. Said it was a code of conduct violation. AS if exposing the cheating, lying, scamming brokers we have to deal with in the US is not ...

FXCM Discussion

I used to trade with Dukascopy as well, until my US nanny told me I couldn't. Use the JForex platform, anytime you don't need MT4 , don't use it. They actually have an excellent JForex mobile for android, iphone and ipad. Matter of fact, when I was ...

Reality of FOREX: my experience with brokers + share yours

This is exactly why I have no problem trading with an unregulated broker, especially in the US. At least they're getting 79 cents on the dollar, in the US, they would get absolutely nothing.

Alpari UK bankruptcy update: 79 cents on the dollar

IB now requires 10 million in net worth to trade forex as US regulations force yet another broker out. Wish I could trade with LMAX, but my nanny won't let me.

Reality of FOREX: my experience with brokers + share yours

Please, cTrader have a US broker offer your platform. I used cTrader for over a year with Trader's Way and they no longer offer it.

Spotware cTrader suggestions, improvements and issues thread

So Interactive Brokers does not offer forex any longer. You state, and I completely agree, Oanda and FXCM should not be considered options. That leaves Forex.com. That's all for US residents. I personally trade with a high leverage, non- ...

Reality of FOREX: my experience with brokers + share yours

Exactly. What I really find ironic, is despite all of this "protecting me from myself", I can walk into any casino in Vegas and place my life savings on black and nobody will say a word. Oh wait, the government has their hand in that. How about the ...

SEC bans Broker-Dealers from retail forex transactions

Saved them money vs. what? Their old model where they were ripping everyone off.

FXCM Discussion

No problem. I've been trading offshore for 3 years. I know there are absolutely no regulated brokers outside of the US that will accept US clients. Which, as I always state, is so hypocritical of the US regulators who claim they are protecting us. ...

SEC bans Broker-Dealers from retail forex transactions

You got me kind of excited there, however, just went to LMAX website and they do not accept US clients.

SEC bans Broker-Dealers from retail forex transactions

Well at least your country allows you to trade with other regulated brokers in other countries. I'd love to trade at IC Markets or Pepperstone. It's funny how they claim they are protecting us, but yet prohibit us from trading where our funds would ...

SEC bans Broker-Dealers from retail forex transactions

Absolutely. That was the entire point of the regulations. On top of that, prohibiting us to trade with any other regulated broker in the world, or should I say prohibiting them from accepting us as clients.I always find it funny though when people ...

SEC bans Broker-Dealers from retail forex transactions

They were an IB of FXCM, who just recently screwed them. Few months back I believe. Yes, they were using FXCM price feed but without all the games. I hear Canada sucks for forex as well?
