I have seen alot of this lately. What's the deal? I am here to learn how to become successful. I am sure pretty much all brokers manipulate price and so many things to make money. I feel bad for the guys/gals that have had bad experiences. Why would a person starting with $1,000 and grow an account to $10,000 not take any money out? What about when it gets to $100,000? If a person doesn't want to withdraw any money, why not withdraw money and open more accounts with differant brokers? Have 4 accounts with $2,500 in each one and make 4 trades with 1/4 lot size. Isn't that the same? The brokers wouldn't have any idea how much you are actually making. If I had $1,000,000 and I just wanted to collect interest, I would put it all in one bank, I would put it in a few differant banks. Or, if I had made $1,000,000, I would take some out and spend it and enjoy it instead of just seeing how much I could make. I have more to say about this but, I will leave it at that.

Sorry mate about the previous post....got a lil carried away.
didnt mean to pock fun ...

Yes! i totally agree with you my friend.

Its no one elses responsibility but the traders - if they lose out.

Even if your broker is a down-right con....make sure they are regulated by a legitimate body in a reliable country.

Something i participate in quite frequently, is getting on the phone or the live chat service with my broker - and asking questions, about - how the company is going, asking them about their policies . etc. And i always make sure their answers are always consistent.

For example - I spoke to my broker only hours ago, about their policy on manual execution. I also asked this same question a few weeks ago.

I've been doing this for 3 years!! And whether my broker likes the hassle or not, im going to keep asking hard questions .... cause its my money, and my lifestyle that is at stake.

I also constantly check the ASIC (Australian Securities and Investment Commission) website and the CFTC (in the USA - cause my broker is a US company) websites to see how my broker's have been regulated, and whether there are any updates about the company itself i should know about.

Cheers

Rusty

Don't worry about the first post. yes you are exactly right. The trader is responsible to be in control of their profits. It's like saying I can get shot at war and not take their own gun. The brokers guns are price manipulation and all that sh** and our guns are withdrawing.

How did you coax them out of their holes so you could bash them? I usually had to reach in and drag them out, but man!, it took forever to get the slime off my arm! Nothing beats a well bashed bork though, except maybe four of a kind.

To answer renasdad question, borker bashing is a topic that shows itself on forums every few months and is a favorite pastime of newbies who, having not yet learned to take full responsibility for their own actions, find the nearest entity to place the blame on for their massive losses.

Hence, borker bashing.

What's really nice is when you spell it this way, it doesn't turn into a blue underlined hyperlink. Got any suggestions for an alternate spelling for service?

Srevice? Servise? Severe-ice?

"Crevice" 'cause thats where they push it.
{In truth, I've always been able to resolve any problems with any of my Borkers to mutual agreement.}

Either that or images of George Carlin on stage "Servicing a Crient"

For service I was thinking perhaps crevise which would be short step away from crevice?

And from brokers to borkers it's just a small jump to being bonkers?

So for example if you have had bad service from your broker you could also say that your borker drove you bonkers with poor crevise that put you up sh*t's creek?

You all are way to funny.
