Title pretty much says it all.
I'm trying to find a broker with 1000:1+ leverage offering services to the US. Out of all the bucket shop scammers at least one of these max leverage brokers has to payout. Yes 1000:1 is a ridiculous amount of leverage and I will probably lose the $100 or $200 starting balance but hey it only takes one profitable trade to more than double, triple, or even quadruple an account with such high leverage. Ultimately the result will be determined by one strategically placed trade. For anyone that can hone their trading skills to consistently win with a 20 pip stop @ a fairly good accuracy high leverage has great potential.
Whatever the outcome may be this will be a fun experiment.

10. $11,700-------------8-------------------200:1
Total - $100 to $11,700 with only ten trades netting 400 pips for a risk to reward ratio of 1:117! That's right make it to number 10 1 out of 117 times and you'll brake even. Remember it isn't necessary to win 10 times in a row! 10 losses could occur (not in a row obviously) over the course of reaching #10. Maybe this doesn't sound so crazy anymore?
Kayla the trader says "I only want $1,000 $11,700 is to much!" well Kayla here are the stats
$100 to $1,000 with only 4 trades netting 160 pips for a risk to reward of 1:10. Surely it is possible to win 4 trades netting 40 pips each?
The above chart is according to Traders Way leverage table posted further down the page. Note - Sure you will have losses and those losses will be roughly 33-50%. The good news is every winner should be 60% to 100% or more. This chart could also be scaled down to represent any %Risk such as 25% or 10% all fairly high risk/reward situations considering most traders opt for 1-5% risk.

Comparison of two 1000:1+ brokers
Researching a bit more into FxGlory and Traders way to try an give try and give a comparison of the two.
Every Company offering super high leverage is generally targeted to small balance retail traders. Which means they will not offer 1000:1 to someone with $20,000. Anyways the point is the leverage they offer is conditioned in levels of margin or balance.
Lets compare Leverage vs Margin
Traders way -
balance lower than 1000
1:1000
balance from 1001 to 5,000
1:500
balance from 5,001 to 10,000
1:200
balance from 10,001
1:100
FxGlory -
Equity, USD Maximum leverage
$1-999
1:3000
$1000-1999
1:2000
$2000-2999
1:1000
$3000-4999
1:500
$5000-9999
1:400
$10000-29999
1:200
Above $30000
1:100
Fairly similar to TW except they have more leverage retargeting levels (7). Remember this change will happen automatically when a trade is open. Potentially reducing profits to some extent by increasing used margin if the trade isn't automatically closed.
Right off the bat we notice FxGlory offers more leverage on each respective level. So if you absolutely need max leverage maybe FxGlory is the way to go. I opted for TW because TW has fewer Retargets and thus fewer interrupted trades. One of those interrupted trades could be a whopper netting 1,000's of dollars.
As far as FxGlory offering more leverage IMHO it isn't needed. 1000:1 is perfect allowing for a 20 pip stop @ 50% risk. Any larger than that and you'll be risking the whole account on 1 trade. At least with 50% risk it is possible to adjust $@risk per trade eventually trading back up to break even or beyond. However if your consistently earning more than $5,000 each month with a method like this then the better option would be FxGlory or another high leverage broker since FxGlory doesn't have a withdrawal limit whereas Traders Way's max is $5,000 per month.
Payment processors
Traders Way
Wire Transfer
WebMoney
Credit/Debit Card
MoneyBookers and MoneyBookers Prepaid Debit Cards
CashU
FxGlory
Credit/Debit Card
Paypal
Payza
MoneyBookers
OkPay
WebMoney
Neteller
Comparing the above FxGlory clearly has the upper hand. Paypal and Payza are vary popular easily accessible payment processors for US customers.
Spread
Traders Way -
MT4 Var Account - This is the account I signed up for since I didn't sign up for any of the other account options I can not speak for live spread results of other accounts offered. Listed below are the average spread over the last few days displayed via live MT4 results not the results listed on site.
EUR/USD - 1.7
GBP/USD - 1.9
USD/JPY - 1.7 pip.
These are darn good spreads wouldn't you agree?
FxGlory -
EUR/USD - 2
GBP/USD - 3
USD/JPY - 3-4
Not so attractive but still fairly reasonable. Most would rather spread of 2 pips and under for the major's.
Deposit/Withdrawal Restrictions
TradersWay
No deposit restrictions
$5,000/Month Max Withdrawal
FxGlory
No deposit or withdrawal Restrion
FxGlory takes the win again!
The only question left is which offers a more reliable trading client? <- Most important question of them all
Sorry I can not offer this information till after testing both brokers.
Both brokers have advantages and disadvantages. Choose the one with the advantages you consider most important. My personal assessment is as follows FxGlory may have the overall upper hand 3 important factors are Leverage increment, Payment processors, and Spread. If you compromise on Spread (or only trade E/U) FxGlory could be the broker for you. As a side note just because 3000:1 is offered doesn't mean you have to use all of it.
A bit of advise = Before even considering trying this you absolutely need to know with 100% certainty how well your system works or how well you can expect it to preform. This is for traders who've been in the business for a while, already have a profitable system, are looking for a high yield investment or just to spice things up. Whatever the case may be don't attempt this as a newbie.
Good Luck And Good Trading Friends,
