I was not aware that is how it worked, thanks for the clarification. I will give it a try then!

I thought Dukascopy was responsible for issuing the credit every month to our accounts as the IA's are not involved with any part of our account according to my understanding?

I hope this is not Dukascopy's way of not paying us our rebate? They owe me for one month around $500. This is not a good sign.

Hi Vengeance, I see your point! I would be hesitant too about going forward. They seem fairly busy, but if you read around, it looks like they have a reputation for not answering questions in the beginning as well and this happened to me too. Very ...

Since I am not from the US and do not live in the US, shouldn't I still be receiving my rebate?

Moksha, thanks for the info! I have to say though, after reading fine print from several regulated and un regulated brokers in several countries, it appears that none of them could be considered honest. They all have a clause that gives them full ...

A few of us including myself have bought this up in the past. I have a live account with them, but that paragraph always makes me a little nervous. The way I read it is that Dukascopy has the right at any time to clear us out! If someone from ...

Thanks. Have to look to see where I can find it as I noticed nothing.

I used MobForex as IB when I signed up with Dukascopy about 2 months ago or so, but never had any commission rebates yet posted to my Dukas account. When do the rebates normally get added to my balance normally?

Not easy sometimes opening an account with Dukascopy if you have some documents missing. I missed one document too. I don't think Dukas would hurt their business by making it so difficult to open up an account with them so I was thinking that it ...

ECN is thrown around a lot as a sales pitch more than anything else. There's always something fishy going on behind the scenes to a certain extent which you will know if you read their fine print. Best thing is to do your homework and find a broker ...

I am pretty sure Dukascopy has fund protection up to about 100k give or take being they are a Swiss Regulated Bank.

Oops, I forgot about the low liquidity in general during bank holidays.

Thanks everyone for all that input. I was wondering about all that and it seems that on bank holidays it could just be a good time to only scalp during all the swings. Seems there is more than one way to make a buck with Forex, but it sure is hard ...

Thanks, was not sure how that all works.

Have to admit I'm impressed with the web platform. After Bernanke's press release, I decided to just buy a 10k lot and let it bounce around and see if I could get in or out with some profit and I made about $100 out of 3 trades. Not much, but with ...

Very sound advice thanks! Was tempting this morning until all hell broke loose and then I realized that I'm just not prepared nearly enough for that type of movement. Glad I did not jump the gun and hit the larger trades. Just went with 10k lot to ...

When London opens will the EUR/USD will be as volatile as when Bananke made his statement this morning? I'm still new but have a live account and opted to bow out of all the madness this morning. I think I even got vertigo seeing the numbers bounce ...

I couldn't even jump in as movement was between 100-200 pips within seconds. Just not worth the headache.
