Thanks Bodyguard, No, I only know LCG by name, but I don't have any experience/knowledge of them. It seems they offer some MT4 accounts and offer some prime brokerage to access big platforms like EBS, FxALL, Currenex... Which one are you going for ? ...

Pepperstone Forex

Hi Bodyguard, I have personnally been with Pepperstone in the recent past and have been pretty satisfied in term of trading (execution, slippage, and so on) I didn't find their customer suport very good, but not that bad, and only dealt once with ...

Isn't it obvious ? To be able to run after negative balances more easily next time. First: Decide if it's worth it or not, then be able to directly ask for a court order to seize a part of the salary if the guy doesn't pay.

Why not try to understand a little things before posting ? Wouldn't it be a good idea to at least know if they were buying or selling, what, and so on ?

Forex changed forever!

Seriously ? YOUR researches ? Just type "Swiss GDP" into google, and you will know that Swiss GDP was 650 billions USD in 2013 Then, about SNB's Fx reserves, it's a published stat, so forget "YOUR researches" url

Forex changed forever!

This may be one of the stupidest post I saw. The SNB creates CHFs out of thin air at will, they can create as much as they want. CHFs do NOT come from "reserves" With this newly created CHFs, they bough EUROS. This are the Fx reserves: Foreign ...

Forex changed forever!

The FCA is in the UK. Pepperstone is an Australian broker registered wit ASIC (Australian regulator) If I'm not wrong, there is no compensation scheme in Australia like there is in the UK. Now you may be thinking that this is the kind of stuff you ...

Pharm0r: I don't know where you got that quote from, but not from me (despite what's written) Edit: found it, this quote is from a guy named "Marzullo" in the IC Market margin call thread. And the quote from Shrike is from another thread from 2011 ...

FRAUD

IC Markets margin call

There was liquidity, on Interactive brokers for example, there have been plenty of trades and not a single gap in USD/CHF and EUR/CHF

IC Markets margin call

BBC Micro: Sure it can happen, but here some brokers SUSPENDED the whole thing for more than 1 hour and only executed trades AFTER all that time .... That's FRAUD pure and simple.

EUR/CHF

I don't see any chance a broker can get additionnal money from a customer. Not legally, not in practice. I doubt they would even try it. I agree with you about potential bankrupts soon. Now, the real problem of this story is that this guy is ...

IC Markets margin call

Actually my stop losses with Oanda at 1.1970 were executed correctly with very little slippage. The problem is when they TOTALLY SUSPENDED trading for more than 1 hour with ABSOLUTELY NO QUOTES at all anymore. But legit brokers executed SL with very ...

EUR/CHF

That seems BS to me. Especially since Saxo had lowered margin on EUR/CHF. Any proof of that ? If that's true, this 2 brokers are scamming you, and they have unnatural gaps on quotes like Oanda and Pepperstone then. EDIT: I just checked, FxPro ...

EUR/CHF

Hi, Ok, if it can make you any good, I'm in the same position as you with OANDA, for bigger amounts. The problem of OANDA (and I saw PEPPERSTONE did the same) and probably IC Markets had the same problem is that there was NO QUOTES for a period of ...

IC Markets margin call

That's the pretty amazing part I guess it has something to do with IB doing some market making here, because I don't explain how it's possible instead: I had 6 contracts stops at 1.1987 (hidden stop staying on IB's servers) and they were executed 5 ...

EUR/CHF

Oh, meaning you were able to close when the price stayed artificially high ??? Damn, that would mean you "took" the money from the people that were closed at the bottom of the gap. I don't know what will happen, but that is a big mess for Oanda.

OANDA Discussion

Right now, they have HUGE GAPS and only honored stop losses after the gap !!! Maybe they will resolve it. They even margin called people only after the gaps !!! And all people that were in front of their screens or running EAs to handle STOPs (that ...

EUR/CHF

Pepperstone and Oanda seem to be the 2 brokers that really went reckless on this. Complain to the broker, then to the regulator if they didn't resolve it, then go to court, good luck. I agree it's really disgusting, and I hope these 2 brokers will ...

Pepperstone Forex

I had stop on the FUTURES market (CME/GLOBEX), and everything was really fine. But OANDA just did what they already did and totally SUSPENDED EUR/CHF and USD/CHF for more than 1 hour !!! Let's see what they will do about it, but they created a gap ...
