UAU, another one.
Even if the offers and geographic restrictions suck this seems a new trend. Brokers are watching the business going out of the door and are running after it.

Very good, reliable and honest, if your account is FCA-regulated in the UK.

Complete crooks if it’s "regulated" only in Mauritius - lol, obviously: why else would a "broker" choose to have a Mauritius-only-"regulated" branch?!

They do this to accept citizens/residents where they otherwise couldn't or to offer less restrictions than they otherwise would be able to.
If the regulators would just regulate instead of suffocate, we'd all be better off.

Why ?!

Pretty obvious and not necessarily because they are crooks: to offer their services where regulators forbid them (US citizens for example) or to offer higher leverage wherever regulators limit it (europe for example with the 1:30 limit).

and you live in opposite world. Some of the shadiest brokers are in the most heavily regulated jurisdictions. I consider a crook to be a regulated broker offering me a spread of 6 while my unregulated broker is giving me 1.5.

and I know 4 of us have been using offshore brokers for 10+ years.....no issues, how can that possibly be when they're all crooks, right?

I'm explaining you why some of these brokers may go offshore and/or have an offshore branch. And that's not because they are crooks, like you said.

You need to reread both answers again. Myself and Pip know very well what we're talking about because we're both European and US and we are limited by our regulators who want to "protect" us.

The only way to escape from them is to work with offshore brokers, regulated in places like Mauritius, and not necessarily crooks, as you said. In fact, some of them are more reputable than US, EU or UK regulated brokers.

Hantec markets A-book all their trades to the b-book their LP provides and gets the money back. Like FXCM and Oanda and virtually every other broker who realizes that they can't get a proper per million return on a-booking retail traders. Anyone who thinks otherwise is naive and has no real institutional experience in OTC markets.

The question I answered wasn’t about offshore brokers, for God’s sake. It was specifically about Hantec, whose history I (unlike you!!!!) happen to know well.

But to no avail. Sadly almost impossible to help anyone, here, against the constant ill-informed, prejudiced chorus of ignorance.

A good broker does not need a watch dog, she can be good anyway despite location but sometimes they go to other location for business freedom.
For example i have an account with Advance Market, when i wanted to open my account initially i was skeptical because of jurisdiction but they
explain to me and i understood.
Meanwhile they are registered with FCA and ASIC, the are own by Macquire Bank, one of the most biggest and solid bank in the world, yet they
Advance Market has an offshore regulation/office. They source their liquidity from the biggest Banks and you will see..etc

I guess the above explanation should end the argument, insults and name calling. Cheers

Funding Pips only sends phase 2 credentials exactly 24 hours after we pass phase 1. Why do props have such stupid procedures ? It seems they like to make fools of themselves.

The excuse - because there is always an excuse - is because they don't want traders to jump immediately into phase 2.
They could send the next morning. But no. It's 24 hours, not a second less.

It should, but it won't.......some folks are just set on regulation being good and no regulation being bad. It is not that cut and dry, not even close.

You stated this

Complete crooks if it’s "regulated" only in Mauritius - lol, obviously: why else would a "broker" choose to have a Mauritius-only-"regulated" branch?!

I was responding to the "obviously they are crooks" if not regulated in a jurisdiction to KarlKraus approval.

I agree 100% on the impossible to help the ill-informed. However, you have the wrong group pegged as such. I mitigated risk across 5 offshore brokers for 10 years. Never any more than 3% of my entire trading bankroll at one broker (high leverage is a good thing for a trader, when most of your roll sits in your own bank)
I am far, far from ill-informed.
