This is interesting only for those poor unfortunate IBFX account holders. (The only Broker I have ever seen throw a 300 pip "mystery spike.) I predict there will only be a small handfull of USA Brokers left after 2009 is over. We americans are the best at "bad business" lately - its a wonder we made it this far in history. I hope I am wrong though, as much as I dont like Brokers, I dont want their (innocent) employees losing their jobs. BTW - how many more serious CFTC actions must u IBFX account holders endure? Wake up!

this fifo rule could be the final bs that traders will take. because of this rule. i'm gonna look 4 a broker that is non-u.s based. who knows what they'll come up with in the future??? an exodus from u.s based brokers may unfold. although some have already shifted since the hedging rule came out.

traders will move to a non-u.s broker because of all this funny regulations coming out. it makes people feel nervous and uneasy, as they don't know what's next. it's like people smell war coming and fled first. rather than waiting for war to come.
This is the only logical way a USA Forex trader can trade. Of course this means losing large chunks of traders to overseas Brokers(of which I am one) Not only are we bailing on US based Brokers-some(like me) will bail on MetaQuotes as well for being the spineless sheep behind the ill fated MT5. Only my love of programming has kept me in Forex this long. If the rules of MT5 trading are what I am hearing on this forum-MT5 will be their last platform. I say GOOD! I always flush my sh_t down the toilet anyway!

I am glad i switched over to an ICTS trading platform. Programing still there and u could always switch brokers if you do not like what they have to offer. Actforex is coming back to life!!!

To Marilyn or is it Todd? hmm

Anyhow, what about the "Virtual Dealer Plug-in?". I have read that you guys at IBFX refuse to say anything about it. I could go to Vegas and win more there than i could with IBFX.(i already have, before anybody says anything)

How would one find out what parameters you have set against them? Or is it just like the others have said, just bail and go straight overseas?

To bad we can't support our country, with our money, so we have to send it overseas. Damn, what a shame.

Hi rtv2 - yes, it is Marilyn here..
I know of the plug in.. however, we do not use the virtual dealer plug in at Interbank FX.
I am sorry to hear that you haven't done well trading with us. We would prefer that all of our customers were successful trading.

Hi Marilyn, good to see you are still reading the posts on this forum.
Regarding the plug in, we are not that dumb you know. Or may be Todd does not tell you everything? Some of us on this forum are very experienced traders and have been around for a long time. It is a fact that myself and all the traders I know, and there were many, have left IBFX a long time ago due to your wide spreads and delayed execution. If you really, and I quote "prefer that all of our customers were successful trading" you sure make it hard for this to happen.

Hello PipStar.

I appreciate your frankness and have always found you to be fair and honest (hard to believe that the IBFX forum came down 2 years ago now?? is that right?). I always watch the forums, it helps to know what customers want & think - even if they are not ours anymore. And it helps with my new position.. which is all about improving the customer experience (since Feb... and I have a thoroughly ambitious 5 year plan.. and basically no vacation for the next two years )

I can only relay what I know.. and I have been assured that we don't use that plug in.

As far as spreads and execution are concerned. We are absolutely aware that these two are the core of what we do.. without them there is no point to all the other cool tools and such. We have been.. and will continue to improve, though I have nothing definitive to say right now.

My goal is continual improvement of the customer experience.. so hopefully I will be able to accomplish amazing things! Thanks for the support (now and in advance)..

Marilyn

Good grief... please don't explain it. I can't STAND seeing "u" for "you," or "ur" for "your," or any of the rest of that nonsense.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if people could simply write simple and clear sentences? (...sigh... )

I'll have to agree with you on this point. I plan on closing my FXCM (through ATC) account and moving to Dukascopy.

Marilyn, ....rtv2 is ABSOLUTELY correct!! IBFX, when they see some extra money to pocket, delays execution....locks up, etc..... the rtv2 quote below could not be more accurate....

""It is a fact that myself and all the traders I know, and there were many, have left IBFX a long time ago due to your wide spreads and delayed execution.""

I am also a very successful trader...and have many other accounts .....all profitable.... I would still have an IBFX account if they weren't just a bunch of crooks....
