{quote} Well as long as they are accepting any North american clients (directly or indirectly) they can sue them. Why do you think any good forex brokers (offshore) is not accepting forex clients from US or Canada?
They could if they were taking US clients but they have not been in this case. Btw, they sued Tallinex and its owners for 12 million, got default in court but haven't been able collect anything so far. CFTC is not very keen anymore suing out of jurisdiction entities because in most cases it hasn't been very fruitful. They are more often sending cease and desist letters to brokers who sign up US clients. There are many off shore brokers who have been successfully operating and accepting for many years. The same will happen with props.

Yes, after strict USA regulations on forex brokers, FIFO, Leverage etc( some years ago )... Canadian clients were offered accounts from Australia and UK and europe.

Not sure if that happened for US residents.
Intraday only.

-Yes. It will be interesting to see what happens. If I had to guess, regulators will try to use a different approach with props by claiming fraudulent activity.

Most brokers that operate outside of jurisdictional reach of heavy-handed regulatory bodies, do so, knowing that what they are doing is perfectly legal and in accordance with the local law, where they are established. However, in the case of props, it may not be.

This will be the challenge... for props to find a way to legitimize what they are doing and remain legal to ensure sustainable safe-haven wherever they decide to set up shop.

{quote} The difference here is banks may be paying millions for doing billions in fraud (including kickbacks to judges and authorities) I am afraid MyFF is not having that kind of money. The way they are building case I dont think as much as I like it is not coming back. Also there might be nexus of North american brokers (Like Forex.com and Oanda) which may have started this thing as their business is pretty much taken away by these prop firms
Yes exactly as l know and heard from a CME Trader he told me that MFF got caught reason being Brokers and Big Banks were now starving to the core,less traders having personal accounts , almost every trader in the World was now on MFF even FTMO is not even close compared to MFF that's why it became the target .Kazmi had every trader in his pocket ,, The Rest was now starving.

It did and is still happening. Those well known bigger brokers operating off shore are not accepting US clients because they are afraid of the problems CFTC could cause via their regulators in their homelands. For example ICMarkets is also licensed in Australia so it would be very easy for CFTC to put pressure on them via ASIC. Smaller off shore brokers don't often have any licenses so they don't care that much. The same will apply to certain props in the future. Too much money involved and the risk is for accepting US clients is quite small.

They need to cease to ban people without proper evidence. When complaints pile up, the authorities will eventually react.

To Pay he does Pay for sure ,, Ever since ,l haven't heard of any trader complaining of not being Paid by MFF ,, Ever since l started trading with Them 3 years ago ,, it was Pretty shocking to me see these allegations on them and l guess everyone is too.

It will not be very difficult. Look at this forum itself many people are cheering because MyFF got caught and have luxurious life even though all of them heart to heart knows MyFF was paying honestly (I understand they have slippage issue but think of it as cost of running business). If MyFF is having so many haters almost all prop firms will have haters CFTC should not have any problem if they want to sue others.

-US residents are treated like pariah by most brokers. This is the result of over-reaching, heavy-handed regulation. The cost and burden of catering to US traders is just not worth it. This has been done intentionally and is by design.

Of the few brokers that operate outside of the jurisdictional reach of various regulatory groups (or where no reciprocity/treaties etc. exist), they have to use cryptocurrency as a deposit/withdrawal method because of the fact that since regulators could not stop them in the traditional way, they decided to target the payment processors/transfer methods that were being used by these brokers.

This is what our tax dollars are paying for.

But When you look at very closely despite allegations because everybody between these 3 types of entities all does it ,it seems for sure like this is a fight for Retail Traders between the Prop firm Big Dog MFF , Brokers in line with the Big Banks.

They can sue but if I was running a prop firm from SVG and didn't have any ties to US, I could really care less about their law suites. Those are civil litigation so penalties are usually just fines etc. If you could make for example 10M in profit from US clients a CFTC law suite would definitively by worth while.

{quote} But imagine you did like that, you started with a 50/60$ fee and now you were at a 100K MFF account. You would have lost months of your life to end up with nothing. On the other hand whoever started with 100K challenges some months ago probably collected several nice payouts until all this busted. I'm more favorable in dividing the risk by several companies than starting small. (not now, obviously, now I think it's not advisable to buy anything until we see more developments)

With my style you not going to try to achieve 100k account. It's rather having few 10k and trade it heavily, expecting profits 5-10% instead having 100k and going for regular 1-2% . Off course this way you will often loose accounts, but entry fee is so small than you just repeat and repeat.

I have for example seen E8 and FundedNext provide totally ridiculous copy trading evidence for banning traders. If you run your prop like that it will not end well regardless of your location.

I figure my challenge fee is gone. I was doing well and getting close to the TP target. My only hope and desire now, as a US citizen, is that my wonderful government does not penalize me in the name of 'protection' from participating in further challenges with other companies. The risks I take are my own. I don't need any stinkin' 'protection.'

Not sure there but in many countries in europe if people are charged with fraud, let's say in banking, and admit it (pledging guilty and paying a fine to escape jail), they may be also barred from banking activity for 10 years for example.
