I like the saying 'street trader' instead of retail trader. I'm going to start using it hehe.

What about spread traders? Running hedged positions? There are plenty of ways to trade without a stop loss.

You could just block the number and not take the calls. I made the mistake of giving a Cypriot forex broker my phone number once. NEVER AGAIN! But my phone at least tells me that a call is coming from Cyprus and I just don't take it. I mean I don't ...

Hehe, so you didn't actually lose $200k... Just you ran up $200k profit on a technical glitch and then they cancelled the day's trading. Funny. I won't complain. I was down and they cancelled my losing trades. Thanks Vantage FX!!

Some folks in this thread are living in a fantasy land ... gaps and negative balances are a part of trading ... if you can't take the heat get the ____ out of the kitchen.

I very rarely see spreads that wide during news ... when conditions are that bad the fixed spread guys are widening too ... that's why I'd rather go with broker who has low spreads .999% of the time. I take about 100 trades a month - if I was paying ...

That's pretty expensive ... Vantage's average eurusd spread is about .4 pips + .6 commission ... nearly half the price There's cheaper ECNs around too but seem to get slipped more from my experience bahahahahaha

Did you see that story the other day re: Canadian trade deal? Regional governments in Belgium (and apparently a lot of other EU nations) have veto powers over the national parliament ---> a single small regional government in Belgium has managed to ...

He never said they hunted stops ... Just tell them you're awaiting a decision from the FOS and keep a log/forward the emails to the FOS ... still it's all a risky game ... if FOS rules against you you will have to pay all ... whereas IG might be ...

This is why they froze - so trades weren't executed. If your stop was above the 'back in the middle level' it would have been executed around that level. If it was below that area you wouldn't have been stopped. I'm rather amazed by the amount of ...

This is what I'm looking for. Fading into a fat short for a retest of the lows.

Hi fmaher, most ECN brokers don't offer negative balance protection. You were trading against the trend following a major bearish weekly breakout - might have to take this one on the chin? At least they are covering 40% of your folly ... Sucks, but ...

Fair enough. Scamming brokers have always given me more grief. Demo trading is good for practicing and that's about it really - really doesn't tell you anything about execution, slippage etc. Most brokers have really low minimums these days so it's ...

^What they said. Some brokers are so dodgy, look at GDMFX reviews on myfxbook and 90% of reviews with comments are bad ... yet there are a hundred 5 star reviews with no comment. This broker openly admits cancelling accounts for the shocking sin of ...

Maybe they are better now but there's FPA reports of Octa cancelling profits. I stay away from any broker like this - why risk it? Trading is hard enough without being scammed like that. ^ what he said
