In Singapore, there's an office. Their Singapore website is www.oanda.sg. They are registered with Monetary Authority of Singapore; as with City Index. Disclaimer is that registered need not mean protected.
If you liquidate and say start off with $8K as the 'new' capital, can you continue to trade?Ignored
