'Being Right' is, in fact, his sole concern. & obviously, just like everyone else whose sole concern it is, he almost never is - that’s why it matters so much to him and how he became one of the people to whom it was so important. Just put him on ignore.
-It is okay to be wrong sometimes. It is also okay to have differing opinions. Takisd does not have to be right all of the time or have agreeable opinions for people to want to listen to what he has to say. People respect him because he has imparted much knowledge and made countless, positive contributions to this thread, even though he certainly does not have to do so.

What knowledge or contributions have you imparted here?

Don't believe me, be skeptical always to everyone. Be I sure as hell am not going to be a sheep to some snotty clown on the internet.

{image} No metaquotes here bro. Or here {image} Tradingview is just a layer on top of metaquotes for those interested. There is no trading engine in Tradingview. For clarity, I don't know what lux trader is. It sounds like tradelocker but I am unsure.
MQ prohibit putting TV on top, so if they find anyone doing it they won't be impressed.

{quote}-As someone that has traveled to various countries around the world, I can honestly say that the US is not the land of the free as many might believe. Corruption exists everywhere, but we are just better at disguising it here. In developing countries, you often see blatant corruption, but at least you know what to expect because they are not hiding it or trying to disguise it as something else. Often, you even know and understand why they are doing it. Not in the US. In the States, we have fancy words like lobbying to disguise illegal activity...
The most important freedom seems to be the right to carry guns. All other freedoms seem to be less important. Hard to understand from European perspective.

{quote} Are CFDs legal in the US? No. CFD trading is illegal for US citizens and residents. Additionally, most CFD brokers don’t accept US citizens or US residents as clients. CFDs are illegal in the US because they are an over-the-counter (OTC) trading product. OTC trading products aren’t listed on regulated exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), bypassing US regulatory bodies. However, US traders have alternatives such as forex, options and stocks. Read more at: https://commodity.com/brokers/cfd/
But according to your link then Forex IS legal in US. Why can't then Metatrader be used in US for that purpose?
MetaTrader 4 - so many advantages.

Agreed, there's stereotypes perpetuated in every country. I married and Swedish woman who is Hungarian by blood. She's a US citizen and has been living here since the early 90's. Im well aware of the perceptions. Nearly every country has their own inherent problems and have little room to cast dispersions.

Forex is legal, however CFD's are not. CFD's are considered a synthetic swap that is not available on any centralized exchange. You have multiple liquidity providers setting the parameters.

Metatrader has been in named in assorted nefarious scams so they were told to bend the knee to US regulators.

-Yes. Having friends from different countries over the years, most initially have a generalized perception about the US and Americans etc.. Likewise, I have American friends that do the same thing, and have preconceived notions about various, other countries and their people.

Perhaps props dropping US traders is a bit premature. But it is understandable, if not expected, especially given that most CEO's in this space look like they just got their drivers license.

In my opinion, it should not be Meta's responsibility to ensure that clients follow regulatory guidelines unless they are providing white-label services. All fully-licensed brokerages should be responsible for their own compliance (or noncompliance).

I suppose that this could be what we are seeing, though, since not all of the offshore, unregulated brokers that I trade with have lost their licenses. I suspect that one of them has found some kind of workaround, though. I would not be surprised if Meta is being very selective about who they target, though.
