Disliked{quote} Interesting - it seems like a lot of is happening with ATC.. By the way, I trade with the brokers who allow non-FIFO / hedging, so I didn't solve similar things - so if they don't allow non-FIFO / hedging, isn't it possible to just open two separated real accounts with the same broker and hedge through the separated real accounts?Ignored
Disliked{quote} Yes, that is possible, but your margin is account specific, of course, which can affect ones trading style. Plus, it is tedious to automate two accounts from a money management standpoint. I find the fifo/hedge rule and NFA statements like this ridiculous: "ATC brokers was also incurring additional fees and harming its clients by allowing them to hedge long and short position in the same currency pairs and charging them double fees. 'This strategy provides little, if any, economic benefit to customers and, in fact, tends to produce built-in...Ignored
DislikedNobody here talked about latency between MT4 client and server. I live in Sweden and get about 45ms latency to UK based MT4 gateways, XM and other brokers have their gateways located there. To JFD broker, which look interesting to me, I get about 110ms, I guess they have their gw in the US. Is this latency something to be concerned about, is this also a factor when choosing a broker?Ignored
Disliked{quote} Frankly, I personally don't trust those astronomical results on real account. Most of the top performing (like doing XXXXXXXX% per year) "real accounts" at myfxbook, fx blue or any other services are fakes. I've seen so many traders who just agreed with their scamming brokers to open a demo account which is connected to the real servers of the brokers. Then all the verifying services will think that it's a real account, but in fact it's just the demo account. Traders then trade on these accounts without any costs or with just small costs...Ignored
DislikedThe more I read.. the more convinced I am this is not serious business at all..long-term profitable retail trading does not exist, because of scammer-brokers? This trying to find honest broker starts to be really impossible? It seems after all careful consideration, even regulation doesn't matter, brokers business model doesn't matter, nothing matters. We can't avoid being scammed? If we are able to avoid bullets that far and be profitable, last thing they do is just to deny our profits or kick us out saying go somewhere else to be profitable..?...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Even on the flat market? I had same problem with them and mentioned that in one of FF threads.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Do you trade by placing pending orders only (like buy / sell stop / limit orders + S/L and P/T) or do you place market orders too (like opening / closing trades manually)?Ignored
DislikedHi. I just got fooled by a broker licensed in Cyprus. Everything was good till last Friday when I earned 5000euros (never had more successful day before). The very next day everything was gone. Account history shows no trades at all from that successful Friday. Does anyone know what to do to get my money back if the broker does not restore order?Ignored
Disliked{quote} Ok thx. It would be cool to have a real independent broker review site , following the footsteps of FPA , but unlike FPA , to make it 100% unbiased, based on real traders' experiences only , where no broker can have any influence at all, made only by traders for traders , with no fake posts, no fake reviews, monitored and audited, with real unbiased broker rankings, reviews and evaluationsIgnored

Disliked{quote} Please expand your broker recommendation list with the used/reported trading platform (ETX - MT4, LCG - MT4 and so on), it would be good to see if these scams happens only on mt4, or other platforms as well.Ignored

Disliked{quote} went long on gold. I do not like Australia brokers/dealers because they seems to be too hungry for money. FP markets is another example. This week FP markets closed GBPJPY at 137.691, far below the closing price of FF. They do this on the purpose of stop hunting. What Synergy Financial Markets Pty did is far worse: Causing margin calls and wiping out clients blatantly. They are in the business of making money... OMG. It is very funny that all those dealers like Synergy Financial Markets call themselves "TRUE ECN".Ignored
