If my calculations are correct XM offers ~£0.077/pip on US500Cash (S&P 500) and US100Cash (NASDAQ) and £0.10/pip on UK100Cash (FTSE). I'm only trading the US500Cash (S&P 500) as the spread is relatively a lot lower. url

Chat transcript Agent: Hello ******* ! Welcome to XM! How may I assist you? Me: Is it true you may implement restrictions similar to ESMA? Agent: not that I am aware sir I hope the Agent is right. My leverage is 1:500 and I live in the UK.

I stand corrected. I asked again, the AU XM this time, and ICM, this time there was another rep, and they told me Euro citizens can open an account with their AU broker and the ESMA rules will NOT apply to them. Thanks NoEsma

An XM representative on Live Chat told me that; they can only offer me the ESMA reduced leverage as I trade from the UK. As you know the changes come into effect on 01 August 2018. Did they actually tell you they are not going to reduce your ...

Thanks for the info. Yes, I do understand perfectly what this change means; traders with a small account won't have much room to trade! I asked ICM about the ESMA rules but they did not give me a Yes or a No answer. Like Krypt0n1te said we are ...

Any technical indicator used might make you money over a set of trades. In reality it is not the indicator that makes you money but the laws of probabilities. For example, if your EMAs give you a signal to buy at the same time that some big ...

On his webinar everybody was asking how much the course and/or trading room costs to join and Charlie would always say something like "I do not know. You have to email Sam." Somehow I got the impression that his associates Sam and Kym sell the ...

I am sure Charlie is not a fraud! He was trading live every Friday morning, and the NFP in the afternoon, and AFAIK he was always coming out with big profits. Having said that he is not a conventional retail trader either. He trades 5 standard ...
