Do you think they would impose their leverages?

I also love the high leverage but I think soon all brokers will be forced by regulators to reduce to at least 100:1 maximum.

{quote} that sounds not good. One must never risk the whole money. only a portion, up to 20%. The rest must remain in the bank account.
Most retail forex traders are undercapitalized for this but it's a must for any serious trader with significant amount of money at stake.

{quote} You are right, now my strategy is changed. Rather then using % return, I now consider playing with fixed return and withdraw money every month. Also, I will use at least 3 brokers now. ( Hope I can get my deposits asap.)

Probably regulators will force to lower the leverage but that will cause big problems for forex comapnies as they need to attract smaller clients otherwise they cant survive.These brokers will definitely find the way regarding the leverage issue.Once the things settle...

The only way for the brokers out from this new regulation is a good old offshore. At least for the bucket shops.

is essentially an offer from Oanda. In addition, it is assumed that only the customer file Oanda wants. The rest of Alpari not interested. It also shows what is really valuable. The shows, which deserves a broker money.

Oanda made a great play the other day about how they were a responsible broker and were letting clients off with negative balances caused by the " Swiss effect" of last week.

I wonder if they do eventually take over Alpari whether they will extend the same to clients with negative balances here ?

Latest news is that a decision will be made regarding a possible Alpari sale by the end of next week.


http://www.forexlive.com/blog/2015/0...buy-alpari-uk/

According to Forex Magnates (and Yohay at forexcrunch.com) who cite persons with knowledge of the deal.
So far that makes Iron FX and Oanda as the two front runners.
The likely scenario is that these firms just want the client books of Alpari rather than taking up the business lock stock. We’ll have to see what deal is struck but if any potential buyers deems the sums worthwhile it could mean that they let off any negative balances to keep hold of those customers. That’s just pure speculation on my part though. The administrators will be looking to either re-coop the losses or sell them off.

Oanda has various regulations. Headquartered in Canada. So regulations ind half a dozen states. Read it according to the website of Oanda. But leverage is only 10% of what had Alpari. Therefore uninteresting to me.

Oanda are a good broker.
The only negatives are the leverage limits and the inability to hedge.
I spoke with their support the other day though and they said that they are "testing" hedging on their systems, and considering introducing it.
They are reliable and have great support.

Little tip on the edge for people who do not have money to capitalize to another account: Plus 500 are 25 € for credit. I'm not sure, but Trading 212 also. This can be immediately traded.

I don't understand why people get worked up over the leverages. Honestly, if you have been using Alpari's full margin, that's seriously playing with fire. Nobody should ever be allowed to work with more than 1:50. JMHO
