YEAY - Got paid in lovely Dollars straight in to my USD account. For those who've spent the last few months slagging off the FSCS - eat your words - and be grateful that they're there to pick up the pieces on your behalf and at no cost to you. Over ...

OK, Come on now, give the FSCS a break ! What people don't seem to realise is that the FSCS is not a private company operated for profit, they are funded by the tax payer, the UK tax payer, so all those from abroad should consider this before being ...

Well if anyone was in any doubt as to ETX being a bunch of crooks - they suspended all EUR/USD quotes as of Fridays close (1.1169) to prevent anyone holding a short position from taking profits, despite the pair opening gap-down at 1.1006 and ...

Good thinking, let us know if you approach them and what their response is please

Brilliant. Now he's out of the way... For those who have accepted the fact that we are eventually going to be paid in USD I still humbly suggest opening a USD account (I opened one with Cater Allen (private bank)) so at least we're not stressing ...

WOW.... Don't tell me; you're short sterling and long the Kiwi ?? Am i right lol

That's like saying "I'm not sure why it's raining". The fact is that most Alpari accounts were held in USD so like it or not our UK held GBP accounts were converted to USD at 1.5158. It is what it is, and as a trader it's your job to 1) accept that ...

Seriously guys, I'm shocked at the number of people on here complaining about the fact that the FSCS will pay out (eventually) in USD. Yes this means that we are all exposed to an exchange rate risk, but hell, were traders, that's what we do ! The ...

Err yeah, that's fine if you like to take a loss on the conversion back to GBP. Personally, speaking as a trader, I'd rather hold the funds in USD and have control as to the date and therefore rate of conversion. Leaving this to the timing of the ...

So who'd have thought it would prove so difficult to open a USD denominated account from within the UK... I have ended up talking to a private bank which is really dragging it's heels about it. This means that I'm not going to be able to confirm my ...

Yeah, thanks, we're all pretty much aware of that line....

Is anyone still waiting for access to the portal ?

If you're not happy with the way the administrator (KPMG) is completely ignoring you, dragging matters out and driving you into bankruptcy while they work out convoluted ways of stealing your money, then file a formal Insolvency Practitioner ...

Same here

I said this before and got shot down for it, maybe this time...... If you're not happy with the way the administrator (KPMG) is completely ignoring you, dragging matters out and driving you into bankruptcy while they work out convoluted ways of ...

Why ? Well: Easy identification of support and resistance levels for one, Easy identification of SL and TP levels for two, And generally because the default font sizes used on the MT4 platform are ridiculous - Honestly, the person responsible must ...

Hi all. I just had an email from KPMG about the conversion to USD- Does this make sense to anyone ? I asked KMPG to stipulate the regulation which requires them to convert all our account balances into USD. "The Joint Special Administrators are ...

From the Alpari Information Pack, written by KPMG for prospective buyers of the business ■Negative balances on accounts which traded the Swiss Franc are c. $31m however some clients may have other accounts with Alpariwhich are positive ■Half of ...

Mate, we are being robbed with each moment that goes by. KPMG are gonna fill their boots on this one without so much as an email to let us, those that are paying for this, know what it's likely to cost... It's institutional theft, nothing more, ...
