Wow, wouldn't it be great if everyone could make intelligent post, explaining why they see it the way they do, instead of bashing everyone who doesn't see it their way. One thing, I can say about Geppy is this, I have been trading since 2010, and ...

Geppy vs. GJscalper - a duel to the death!

Attention all US brokers....Anyone have any interest in offering this wonderful platform to US clients?

Spotware cTrader suggestions, improvements and issues thread

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

Out of these, only forex.com can be used by US residents. If you do a little research, I'd stay away from all US brokers. I've been offshore for over 2 years and couldn't be happier with my decision.

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 ...

FXCM Discussion

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...

What's the deal with forex.com?

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 ...
