Can anyone recommend their broker that caters to NZ residents and allows sign ups now?

I got a call from Oanda on Monday saying they'll be closing all NZ resident accounts before the end of this month (June). After researching on trustpilot.com and forexpeacearmy.com I tried to set up accounts with blueberrymarkets.com and ICmarkets, but both have said no due to the new NZ govt rules for brokers. Blueberrymarkets stopped taking NZ residents about 2 weeks ago and Axitrader about 3 weeks ago.

Any help appreciated!

hi,....my accounts are quite substantial and that`s why I have 3 UK accounts for their government guarantee.
so UK brokers accept NZ citizens, but be aware that the leverage is only 30:1.

Hi, and thanks for the reply - I'd had a brief look at them, but found them at no.3 on this list of worst brokers and decided to give them a miss.

Appreciate the info - would you mind sharing which brokers you use? 30:1 is my max leverage, so I have no issue there.

my best broker is Activtrades.......no commission - reasonable spread, E/U 0.5/0.6 - reasonable swap if you hold overnight - if you trade cfd`s, they have a lot of cfd`s on futures, where they don't charge any swap if you hold overnight....you can always try their demo account to see if you`re happy with what they offer.

Thanks for info yonnie, much appreciated. Activtrades weren't on my radar, but just double checked with their chat about new NZ resident clients and they take us on after the recent NZ govt rule changes. They seem like a solid outfit too.

I've had some good recommendations from various threads on forexfactory and forexpeacearmy, so, I'm in the process of signing up with Blueberry Markets and Tim, their sales guy has been great so far. I've just received my live account details and have mt4 installed and working. I'll update in a month or two after some trades and a withdrawal or two to test their systems. If there are any problems I'll update here.

Looks like Activtrades and tvmarkets would be next in line (in that order).

Do it, all the rest are full of shitt. Even the ones that say they're transparent. If they came to the US I would in a heart beat.

Global prime even gives you trade tickets with the liquidity provider that your order was routed to...NO other Forex broker does this and will not.

IC's general manager left to work for Global prime.

You'll be pleased.

{quote} Judging by your knowledge, I can see that you must have put a lot of time in researching FX brokers (Like I did) and their backend business model (A Book Vs B Book).

This image is quite appropriate here i guess to represent all the B-Book brokers who are NOT passing down the order to the External Liquidity providers {image}
You're kidding right....the requirement for US residents for levered (a paltry 2x) fx is....$10,000,000.00.

Need I say more.

Why do you need External Liquidity providers? To avoid conflict of interest? I mean most brokers will keep you B-booked until they realize that you really have an edge. Then they will A-book you and you may notice deterioration of trading conditions.

It's just a gimmick for retail traders. Clever marketing, as it plays on retail traders fears surrounding conflict of interest.
It makes sense to internalise "green flow". The backnend aggregateor should manage the brokers risk and send orders to LPs accordingly. Externalising every micro lot order or cumbersome and unefficient.

That sounds interesting, where do you see that info?

Would this be in the daily statement?

Even if it is truth, you should notice that your execution is slightly worse than with brokers that B-book your orders. It means that Global Prime is pure STP and it is well-known that they are inferior in execution speed as routing order to liquidity provider takes additional time.
