North Finance any good broker?

I really would never even slightly consider trading with them. Their entire background is shady with their offices in Cyprus and Belize. On top of that both governments deny that they are regulated there and have warned people against trading with them. I just don't see why one would take the extra risk. It is risky enough with brokers who are based in the US and regulated by the NFA but if there is nothing in place for a broker - basically they can do whatever they want. Plus I distinctly remember when someone from North Finance posted against other brokers on the forum under an alias but was caught...again, very shady.

Never a problem with NF.

Just because they don't have a non-US address doesn't mean they are "shady". That's an American baseless fear (offshore = shady). What good is all the regulation? You file your report, Wait years, spend money on legal fees and in the end you end up with no money anyway.

Would you rather be over-regulated in the U.S. or under-regulated elsewhere? (It took me 5 weeks to get $260) out of a "REPUTABLE" U.S. broker. More verification... More documentation... More run-around. I said.. "Keep it".

Why not use an e-gold account (or better yet... non-US based e-currency company) and keep transferring your money out of NF, if you're worried about them skipping out. Then you have a debit card with instant access to your cash and no worries.

if ur worried about NF's location. have you considered Alpari? at least they are located in england.

I thought Alpari didn't accept US citizens. Is that still true?
