So here's the situation....
I just turned 18, live in the US, and want to start trading. I've got enough capital to trade and know all the ins and outs of trading (I've been studying forex since I was 14)
Now that I'm 18 I can finally open an account... problem is... I can't =(
Whenever I try to open an account the brokers keep saying my SSN is invalid and I am 100% sure it is valid. I lost my SS card some time ago and will not get a new one ever as it is not needed, but the brokers are requesting it. According to IBFX they say they've got some kind of internal verification thing and my SSN isn't checking through and they request a copy of my SS card which I will never give to anyone.
I've talked to someone and they've said that it's because I don't have any credit, but they don't know for sure.... any advice out there?
Thanks! (:{>
