Ironically I was just about to open an account with Vantagefx, like today, and read the news. I currently have an account with FPmarkets, First Prudential and have been happy with them since November, so 7 months. I was also a victim of ICmarkets ...

Well it's been several years now actually since I attempted to trade fx. Back in 2008 I had an account with FXCM's UK division, and after I saw the blatant manipulating that was going on like requotes when trying to close a profitable position, I ...

if 95% really are losing at forex, where is the risk for MM? Even though, how will more liquidity solve this "problem" of too many winners? If it was all about liquidity, they could've just come out and said it.

Exactly! The only thing an NDD should want is lots of trade traffic, whether the clients are winning or losing it, preferably profiting clients, because they will continue to trade. If they "only make money on the spread", that would be true. ...

too all those who blame government — To all those who seem to think NFA rules are somehow connected to the "new crazy communist government" that's trying to take away your freedoms of the america you used to love! Get a grip, stop being ...

Yes. I read that this current build of MT4 will be the last supported. There is much discussion about this new MT5 and how it will only benefit the brokers, not us. For example, no more individual orders, they all get lumped together. "First in, ...

MT5 — Hello to everyone. I first became familiar with the THV trix indicator here, already 6 months ago, and finally feeling comfortable with it. As most of us know, the new MT5 will be arriving soon and apparently will not be backwards ...

thanks — awesome, thanks for that, exactly what was needed

up and running?? — the MBT website appears to have MT4 available now....i expected a little more fanfare around here....I'm thinking of creating an account....what's up? anyone? **edit, oops, guess i jumped the gun...says they aren't accepting ...
