Has anyone been profitable with a Market Maker?

Has anyone been consistently profitable with a Market Maker?

I have read, heard it all and everything is negative yet people still choose to trade with them.

Yeah, in this case, be more clever than "people" ...

To answer your question, you can have a look on websites like myfxbook or similars, you wil see that there are winning traders with market makers. And the CFTC publishes every quarter the ratio of winning/losing traders with US regulated brokers, which will probably be a good part answer to your questions.

As you can see from these results an ECN broker in the US has the least profitable traders. Also even though most traders say Oanda is a STP it clearly states on their website they are a Market Maker and these results show there clients are more profitable than some others. Obiviously IB and Citi are going to have more profitable traders as higher deposit so less noobs loosing money by making silly mistakes. Also worth noting Citi is not an ECN but a MM.





I think if the broker is a MM and regulated I dont think it really matters if you have a small account, either you can trade or you cant! People need to stop blaming their brokers that they can't trade for shit!

45% on IB that's nice, talk about people blaming 95% thing to justify their losses.

US Retail Profitability Report means nothing, no fact can be taken from that report.
A trader can have 3 profit quarters and 1 loss quarter in a year but his total result is negative.
Sadly, most loser traders have this kind of result, they take a lot of small profit trades and few of huge loss trades. With this result pattern, don't be surprised if you see many trader boast about their trading result for months and suddenly disappear.

Ukraine. Business dealing murdered.
Just a piece of advice for people anyhow dealing with Ukraine. Ok, I'm sure it is absolutely needless to say and repeat all the same here about the situation in Kiev, what everybody should understand is that now it is not good time at all for deals in Ukraine. Yes the advice is obvious enough: avoid placing your finances in staying currently headless Ukraine! Well look, I work in customs in border between Poland and Ukraine, do broker's job there, and believe me for the last month now I've already got two clients that had sent their considerably valuable cargos to Ukraine but still haven't received any money for it. All you send and do behind the Ukrainian side of the border fall into the hands of operating there now bandits. Ukraine lives now in absolute lawlessness! Typing it with a certain hope that this post will save somebody's money. Luck!
