If one of these US brokers really wanted to beat the competiton, they would offer cTrader, which prohibits dealer manipulation. My offshore broker just stopped offering it, as the regulations have scared even platform providers from dealing with US clients . Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I can say with 99% certainty the US brokers are behind the regulations and of course the "futures boys" . US residents are absolutely screwed when it comes to trading spot forex. It really is sad, I have a large family, I used to substantially supplement my income with online poker, they took that, I moved to forex, they have made that near impossible for the little guy. So glad they are protecting me from myself, but yet I can walk into a casino and put my life savings on black or red and nobody will bat an eye? It's all controlled my crooked, lying paid off politicians. So sad.
