This one didn't last long now did it?
Thanks for posting the attachment. Just a couple of days ago I was looking at the financial data for FCMs on the CFTC's web site. UGM was very low in the Excess Net Capital amount back on April 30th. I was wondering how low they could go and what happened when a company approached zero.
Yeah well they are sending me my money tomorrow. Before it's too late....

There is another broker which is under NFA investigation for serious breaches and that is 1worldforex. Someone else posted a link on another thread about it. Check this one too and take care out there.

They come in this game because they believe the saying that 95 per cent of traders lose. But it looks like traders have become much better at making $$$ these days.
For my part, I have never believed that only 5 per cent of traders win. Proof is that these new forex brokers could not be going broke if so many people were losing. On the contrary, these brokers are getting $$$ taken away from them by some very skillful traders.
How can they be in the red when they cheat traders?

But Im glad that they are going down. This way they cant cheat anymore.
UGM's home page still looks like business as usual. Perhaps trying to offer fixed spreads to the news traders did them in.

From their front page:

"Starting Sunday May 20, 2007 United Global Markets is changing our pricing structure from fixed spreads to a variable spread. As a part of offering variable spreads, United Global Markets will..." Read more...

Sounds like you've been 'cheated' by them??? Could they be the ones that cancelled your winning trades?
One of the biggest risks a retail spot fx trader faces is the fact that his /her account is non segregagated from the balance sheet of the broker they are with .Regardless of what your broker tells you , if they go bust you will lose your trading account.This is what happened at Refco.

This brings me to my point. While the retail fx traders lost , all the refco futures accounts were untouched by the creditors as all futures trading accounts must be segregated by law.

So ... if you have concearns for the safty of your funds in the event of your broker going tits up, why not trade fx via a futures broker on the CME.

Did you fax and email the fully completed withdrawal form, and ask for confirmation of receipt?

This worked for me. received check in 3 days.
Just spoke to customer service and they stated that the NFA froze the UGM's clients accounts and they are not allowed to transfer any money out until the NFA approves it. They sent the NFA a list of all clients requesting money to the NFA today and they hope that they will get approval to release the funds sometime today. I am on the list, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Just cross my fingers and hope
