PS : I already contacted FXCM but they reply was :
also i've contacted ibfx and received the same reply"Thank you for your email and interest in opening an FXCM trading account.

We regret to inform you that we are unable to open an FXCM trading account for you at this time. This decision is based on internal policies and/or government regulations.

In the United States, FXCM is registered as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and is a member of the National Futures Association (NFA). As a government regulated firm, FXCM is under the strict supervision of regulators.

In addition, we are bound by economic and trade sanctions against certain targeted foreign countries and organizations based on U.S. foreign policy implemented by The Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Kindest Regards, "

try Odl.
do your research on the net there is a lot of brokers, there is one in Dubai also, but Odl good spread, and rollover, and what you are asking for.
before you open with any broker check and ask about them.

Why does your profile say that you're from the US Virgin Islands?

I don't understand exactly why the U.S. would want their brokers to deny people in Iraq from opening an account? I thought America was trying to help the Iraq people get back on their feet and prosper? So why deny them from being able to open a trading account? I realize why if someone was a terrorist, but just to say that anyone in Iraq can't seems really weird to me. I wonder if that is a regulation placed on those two brokers or their personal decision not to get involved with a country that is in the middle of a war. Still, it doesn't make sense to me.
Whoever can explain this for me, please do.

That's interesting, Iraqi's can't open forex accounts in the United States ... I thought it is already bad enough that the US government will not allow other countries to permit US residents to gamble online ...

No problem bud. Just thought I'd ask since that's what your profile said. No need to apologize though. Good luck.
