Worthless? It's the currency of the world's second largest consumer market and is used by more people than any other currency anywhere in the world. Not worthless at all!

Instead of trading the EURUSD in this volatile environment I'll fly to Europe and enjoy a cheap holiday!

The thing is that currency value is relative and while things aren't perfect in the US they are better than in most other countries. Given that fundamentals aren't likely to get better soon in Europe, China, Brazil, Russia etc I wouldn't worry about ...

Anyone who is serious about trading will trade through a separate legal entity, preferably one in a no audit jurisdiction (Belize, BVI, Samoa...). Not only do you remove the element of personal risk from the equation but you can also lower your tax ...

Anyone knows what would happen to the other FXCM units if FXCM USA goes bust?

Same with IG Singapore, no interruption in trading (spread was insane though).

To be honest I'm not surprised by this report, I've always thought the 95% figure was way exaggerated. What I find shocking is how few accounts there is! I would have thought there would be more traders...

I really do not understand why people open trading accounts with unreputable firms. Would you open a bank account with a non regulated bank in a small third world island? Probably not so why open a trading account there? There are a few very ...

You can use a nominee director and shareholder for the BVI company if you think this might be an issue in your country.

You pay one pip regardless of the size of the order, the value of the pip simply increase with a larger order. It is expensive compared to most retail brokers but I consider it the price of peace of mind. To be honest I would be nervous about ...

Register a limited company in the BVI and fly to Singapore to open a OCBC corporate account. Once you have the account you can open a iOCBCfx Pro trading account with a minimum deposit of 30000$US. That's the best way to trade retail forex, point. ...

It isn't just manufacturing, it's also the oil industry and all other primary sector industries. Oil and most commodities are traded in US$ so a weaker CAD will boost income for Canadian companies. A lower CAD will also lower the cost of entry for ...

The quote from Bloomberg is the real one, I'm getting a very similar quote from my bank.

The best place to open a offshore bank account is Singapore. Canada and Australia are great too and much safer than any bank in Europe/USA. You will have to go in person though but if you are serious about this then it won't be a problem. As for ...

Don't trade on the smaller time frames, trade on the larger time frames (H4, D1...). It is quite easy to predict where the price will go on the larger time frames and you do not have to use tight stop losses and risk having your trades taken out by ...

I know it's a bit higher than 20k but you can open a corporate account with the OCBC in Singapore with a deposit of 30k USD. It's the world's most solid bank according to Bloomberg and they allow you to leverage your position up to 33 times. I would ...

Who would transfer 300k to e-currencies? Besides, Exness is not even regulated, I would never recommend a non-regulated broker or one that is regulated in a "lax" jurisdiction.

If the security of your funds and the long term growth of your account is your main priority (and it should be) then I would recommend opening a trading account with a bank (HSBC, OCBC, Deutsche Bank...). Fund withdrawal will be instant (and often ...
