List of Brokers taking U.S. Clients with hedging, scalping and no FIFO

ACFX to Chinese traders: No withdrawals for you until...

Been trying to warn you about US brokers. They are all the same. I now believe they actually work with the NFA/CFTC as nothing is done about these issues. Regulators are so worried about reducing our leverage, FIFO, no hedging, yet the brokers are ...

The US has the toughest regulations and the shadiest brokers. Doesn't make much sense. I switched to offshore over 2 years ago and I trust my "unregulated" broker more than I would ever trust a US broker.

ACFX to Chinese traders: No withdrawals for you until...

If you are a US resident, you need to go offshore. It would be great if our government allowed us to trade with a UK or Australia regulated broker where our funds are insured and trading conditions are far superior, but they think it's best for us ...

How long has FXCM offered a NDD? 2years? Prior to that pure DD with all the tricks and manipulations that go with it. Under 2k, your clients are still subject to it. Aside from the history of US brokers and all their games, my main point will ...

Looking for new broker with high leverage and accepts US clients

Absolutely not true. Go to Forex Peace Army and check the reviews on FXCM, Forex.com, etc. Then check Trader's Way, FXChoice, etc. While I agree there are some shady brokers out there, the most famous of them are right here in the good 'ole USA.

Looking for new broker with high leverage and accepts US clients
