Easy-Forex Problems

I don't know if anyone else here uses easy-forex but as of today every time I do a trade half the value of the trade disappears from my account value.

There is some kind of serious problem here.

I emailed support@ and the email bounced back. No phone for them till 6 am.

If anyone else uses them I would say don't trade until you talk to them something is up.

Ya I should go with Oanda probably. I am freaking out right now. It isn't a huge account but hopefully there is just some software glitch and they will fix it.

edit** Oanda application filled out. Software glitch or no I probably need someone closer to home like you say.

Well easy-forex is doing the right thing and sorting it out after I explained it in detail to them about seven times.

I was just about to deposit to Oanda and I ran the app real quick at ibfx, I was using their mt4 demo anyway. I went ahead and deposited to ibfx, I like the spreads and I can withdraw to a debit card, and the MT4

I cannot trust borkers outside of US. It is just a sentiment thing but I cannot- word of caution though- if u got huge $$$ sitting in borker, trim it down before the new CFTC shyte goes thru- there may be a run on smaller guys and I wonder if they would be able to pay back deposits.

I think it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened actually. Easy-forex still hasn't gotten all the money back into my account but I am dumfounded by how much better IBFX. Easy-forex really stacks the cards against you in a lot of ways, lots of weird rules and crazy stuff I didn't realize others didn't have to put up with.

Thanks for replying, I was freaking out yesterday and it was cool to have someone reply.

Edit*** OK easy-forex did make it right now and threw in a fifty dollar bonus for my trouble. So that is in their favor.

Ya, their platform is a lot better. I do notice that easy-forex might have better execution, I didn't really know what people meant by not getting their order till today. Easy-forex always gives you the price you click when you click it pretty much. But beside that IBFX is head and shoulders better.

I did read on forex army review some people unhappy with IBFX which makes me a little nervous but I think I will stick with them.

Unless somebody can recommend the best one with micro lots? While I am moving around just as well check everyone out.
