Guyz I need help and guidance to deal with the new NFA rules. My broker (in US) has told me that either i shud move to the same broker in Australia or i wud have to live with the new rules. Im a bit confused at the moment, not sure what to do. I have been told by my friend that there are some legal issues with the move to Aus though i havn't got any details of that...What are your views and whats the advice on a good and well reputed broker outside US. I would prefer to move to UK . Can i get a few broker names here so that i can make up my mind where to switch...

Many thanks in advance for your help!!!

Regards!

Hey Pak,

I use ACM out of Geneva. If your interested, let me know, because I will refer you to my Broker Representative. He gives some great trade calls. I'm in the EURCHF at 150.22, which is one of his calls. It is geared to the more heavily financed trader. Mini Accounts require a minimum of $2000US deposit, but they prefer $5000US. Standard accounts are $5000US. Rates are decent, and the most important for me, is that they guarantee stops. During news spikes, I've had other brokers, requote my stops! If it happens on ACM, they will adjust your margin. I have an Institutional account, and the rates are really great. The only other rates I've seen better, are at Dukascopy, which also requires a minimum deposit of $50,000US, as does ACM for the Institutional acct. Neither are MT4.

If you want an mt4 broker. Alpari seems very reputable. I've only heard good things about them. Hope this helps. I'll post this over at the Cool Runnings thread too. Feel free to ask more questions, and I can put you in touch with my broker if you are interested in ACM. Cheers

Pak,
(I forgot this bit about ACM too.... they have received a Banking License, as did Dukascopy, from the Swiss authorites, so banking services will be readily available as an additional benefit to your FX account.)

I also forgot to say too... if it is FXSol that offered you an AUD account. I really like their customer service on my US account, and the speed they process withdrawals. I like the platform. Overall, I prefer mt4 charts the best. Not crazy about FXSol's spread on the GBPJPY, or the Cable. which I've been trading the most as of late.

Absolutely bro!! I'm doing it with FXSOL and its been just a month that i've started my live account with them. SO far its been quite good experience but the new NFA regulations have forced me to think fast about the change...

Thanks alot for your suggestions about the brokers. I would definately look into it. By the way i am a very small investor and don't even have a 5k account so u can think of me as a mini account holder who just started forex trading and look forward to compound and build my account...

I will catch with u later regd this topic...Once again thank u so much for all the help.

I'm with FX Sol US too. Not sure about the switch to australia, maybe I will prefer to just go with Alpari UK. But .. if I want to switch from FX Sol US to FX Sol Aus, does that have to be done before Aug 2? Or can I do it anytime?

I guess you can do it anytime (even after Aug 2) but you can double check at their web site.

THe issue is that they are not offering this transfer to a few countries which includes Pakistan , India and since I reside in Pakistan, it seems that option is out of question for me...

By the way, how good is Alapri UK. Can you tell me abit more about it?

FX SOL has all of its MT4 client base opening in AUS.

It's a good move and a great solution for the new NFA rules.

Only issue is the spreads are a bit wide -- But they are TRULY fixed.

Back to your original question...if you are looking for the best US-based broker so you don't have to move your money out of the US, I would say MB Trading by far, and their MetaTrader will still operate properly (minus hedging) if you are a Meta fan.

I contacted FXSol about setting up a UK account and I was told that I needed to use FXSol AU if I wanted to use the MT4 platform.

I am in the same situation, looking for a good broker outside the US. Does anyone have any comments on FXSol vs FXPro? These are the two brokers I am leaning towards.

Thanks!!

Just opened with Broco two days ago and I like it much.
Too early to tell how reliable it is, but the cfds on almost everything is a big plus.
I love the cfds on futures, with the same spread of the underlying contract and a small commission.

Will update in a month or two...
