Actually, CC fees are an issue. Many of these unregulated bucketshops offering CC deposit are using any old offshore CC merchant service to process the payments which naturally charge more fees than having a legitimate merchant account at a bank.
Which forex company has credit card withdraw/deposit with minimal fee?

It's just market maker behaviour. Sure it's annoying but if the dealer failed to hedge you or you damaged the dealing desk, the MM must disable you and tell you to move on, or as in this case, just erase your deals from history. The moral of the ...

I didn't compare it with demo. It matches the live spreads pretty well with a small delay. I'm scalping it with 2 pip spread right now

Yes, maybe you can't change the market, but the way you enter it on a MM vs ECN is very different. It's not just a marketing ploy. Your trades can only be deleted on a market maker. The dealer or dealing desk will do everything to protect the broker ...
Brokers Scams Who delete you profits

That's not a good question. There are some with 1 pip spreads and no commission, but are they legit or reliable? Most probably 99% not legit. What you want is tight spread, or interbank spread with decent commission along with reliability. Shopping ...
Tightest Spread?

Ok cool. All's well that ends well. For future reference, when reinstalling MT4 due to corruption, you need to physically delete the program folder after uninstalling to make sure that your reinstall is really clean.

You can compare ECN broker spreads live at url . It gives you an idea of how different the spreads can be between brokers. For the most part it's a close race between FXOpen, ATC and MB for lowest spreads.

Do a virus check and try reinstalling MT4 (ibfx still using it right?). It sounds like you have a corrupted install or worse, corrupted OS.

I thought it was only changed at the christmas and new year period but that was a change to 1:100, not 1:10. I just stopped trading then like most with half a brain did

Well you better get used to ECNs. The days of the market maker are numbered.

ECN is the way to go really. You can tell if your broker is lying about being ECN. They are NOT ECN if:- If the spread is fixed... No commission.... They requote.... They suddenly lock up during major news or fast markets... They cannot/will not ...

Bugger that. I've been in a regulated offshore broker for quite some time. Kinda nice to hide cash there and withdraw profits onto offshore debit cards and bank accounts. The Tax Man is none the wiser

Could 10:1 be the new leverage in US Forex?

Good news! It took a torrent of forum posts and a very public argument where they made scurrilous accusations against you instead of fixing the problem, but you got what was due to you in the end.

FXOpen doesn't mention anything about CySec on their site. CySec is Claytons regulation anyway. The regulator you have when you don't want any actual regulation

Its the US way of lawmaking. They hide completely unrelated laws in Bills that are more likely to be passed if they want something pushed through without any real debate. Like parts of the patriot act.

Are you looking at volatility? There isn't really anything like volume in forex due to the decentralised market. Tick volume is all you are going to get. If you are on ECN, you can get LVLII market depth easily which is probably close enough to what ...

Indeed. I have 1:500 leverage and margin call at 20%. I've never had the opportunity to utilise both "features" fully yet
