Of course not........ but if you had the choice between a broker that doesn't make you pay if you account goes negative or does what would you choose?

Brokers chasing you for negative account balance

Do you have a source for this as I was thinking of opening an account with them? Not so sure now.

Brokers chasing you for negative account balance

Really Their ECN accounts have higher commission and higher spreads than Lmax, which is a regulated multilaterial trading facility from the UK Lmax is the real deal but some traders dont want that........each to their own I guess.

Broker Recommendation Please After Alpari UK Carnage

Lmax. If you dont have a $10K deposit open account through an IB for $1K and the account is still obviously held with Lmax.

Good German Aschloch, but I am not German and its meine not mein you dumb lazy Dago. Explain why Interactive Brokers and other ECN's are out of pocket then?

The reason why they have gone out of business is because they are an ECN. Market Makers hedge against clients ie Oanda. Interactive Brokers is also out of pocket by $120 million due to negative balances of client accounts.

It is still regulated in the UK and has segregated funds unlike US division.

If FXCM goes out of business I have know idea which UK broker to go with, not many options available.

Because the clients accounts are negative and someone has to pay for the losses, the client or the broker. Market Makers are the brokers that win the day as they are long when you are short and vice versa!

CHF move as a broker "Stress Test" - Which tried to honor SL's?

Yeah I meant that The MM offset the risk therefore situations like this the MM is ok. ECN on the other hand will either have to cover looses of negative balances of clients or the client has too. I was replying to the post by Hatzius who believes ...

I think you have that around the wrong way. Market Makers can offset looses ECN/STP brokers cannot. If they had of hedged against clients positions then they would be fine just like Oanda which is a MM.

Terrible spreads and worse in terms of account holders profitability in the US including MM.
