Yes and Gain capital, aka Forex.com has been around 20 years, FXCM was around for years before they were banned from US. Do a google serach on violations against these companies, lol. It's simply a case of they make more money cheating than the cost ...

I refuse to have a rational conversation with irrational people. Please do your research before making such a statement. There is no law whatsoever prohibiting US citizens from opening offshore account. It is illegal on the broker side and that's ...

One of the dirty tricks, you guys are oblivious. If oanda widens there spreads, and you have 2-3 other brokers side by side who did not, why trade with the broker playing dirty? Just because they disclose it, doesn't make it OK. I am a profitable ...

What I would like is to be able to trade with a regulated broker who is not a market maker. You know, freedoms like the rest of the world have. In the US, our options are reglated market maker (complete joke) or offshore ECN. Market maker might not ...

This is exactly why you shouldn't trust them. They forgave negative balances because they are on the other side of your trade. It's like betting with a bookie where he has control on the outcome of the game. This is why so many brokers took a hit ...

I see your from Australia.....do you even realize how many better options you have.....IC Markets pure ECN is probably the best broker in the world. I am in US, so very restricted. I would never trade with FXCM with all those other options you have.

There is no law against opening an account with an offshore brokerage. Matter of fact, if you view the "red flag" list posted on the cftc website, it lists brokers that are out of the reach of the US government and they warn you that you are trading ...

I really don't know how you folks do it...as a US customer and not being offshore. I opened a small account with a US broker, just to maybe diversify some risk. Right now I have 730,000 worth of positions open with my offshore brokers, it is eating ...

Last time, I named brokers, I was accused of being affiliate. Very simple google search. Look for the ones been around 5-6+ years. There is also a thread on baby pips, all the homework has been done and you hear from people with live accounts.

OANDA Discussion

It still amazes me how everyone thinks Oanda was a hero that day. They could forgive the negative balances, BECAUSE THEY TRADE AGAINST YOU!!!! The brokers who actually send your orders through to the LPs couldn't forgive the negative balances. Wake ...

Yes, sure pays to trade with these"regulated" scumbags. My 3 offshore "unregulated" brokers are working just fine.

OANDA Discussion

Simple math. Let's assume one has 50,000 of "trading capital". Trading standard lots of 100k would be 2:1 leverage. If i use a 500:1 broker and use 100 pip stop, I only need $200 to open the trade, but $1,000 to cover the 100 pips I'm risking. With ...

Australian brokers and leverage restriction

Absolutely not true. I've been offshore with high leverage for years. I have the same capital available for trading, I just prefer it sit in my FDIC insured bank account (I'm in US). So I execute the same trade with 1/10 of the margin I would need ...

Australian brokers and leverage restriction

Just wanted to let everyone know, I was just filled with +33 pips on my TP on eurnzd with my "unregulated" broker who I've consistently pulled money from for 3.5+ years now. I guarantee nobody got + slippage with this shithole broker, but I bet if ...

I'm not mentioning broker names any longer, but there is a forum on baby pips which lists 3 trusted brokers based on user experience. I use all 3 of them. I always have my money within 2 days. I use crypto for withdrawal. As far as large amounts, I ...

OANDA Discussion

You folks and your "regulated" brokers. I know you can't all be this naive. This is a constant issue with this broker, just look back in this thread. I had not one second of downtime today (or any other day, for that matter) with any of my ...

No, just trading with much better conditions, and pricing than can be found among the 2 scam US brokers. I will never mention my brokers name(s) again, with just a small bit of effort, anyone can figure it out.

OANDA Discussion

ForexBroker did not go under, they merged with FX Choice, which is still operating. I do not use them as their pricing isn't as competitive as the brokers I use.

OANDA Discussion

As much as people think it's too "risky", I've been with three offshore brokers, one for over four years Not only do I have better pricing, I never have any frozen platform or random price spike issues. You would think with all of this ...
