By now I haven't receive any email from ETX.
I have already assigned my claim to FSCS.

I don't know if ETX has created an account of my name (because they may have my information).
But even if they has created such an account, I think it is obvious that ETX couldn't transfer money from FSCS to that account without my agreement.

Still have no contact from FSCS. But I will wait for FSCS to contact me in some time, as what KPMG has told in the email.

That's nothing really... ETX has paid some money for the client list and of course their intention is to make it as easy as possible for us to join them - if you decide to go with another broker there is nothing they can do

I logged into my new ETX account earlier today but the spreads are ridiculously high - if you are a scalper ETX is definitely not the place to be.

Hi there, My name is Daniel and Im an employee of ETX Capital. I just want to address a couple of the points that people have been talking about on here; - Accounts have been created at ETX for all clients of Alpari (UK), but theres no pressure on you to use them.
uote]
Hi Dan
Please answer my few queries here:
1) How much you have paid or will pay for the Client Account Information? As it is our confidential and private info, I believe we are entitled to know.
2) What happens if while we are waiting for the JSA or FSCS result a similar situation occurs to ETX ? Wouldn't you agree that those transfering to ETX now have jumped from frying pan into fire ?
3) If there is any shortfall to the money agreed or paid by JSA and we have to claim the rest from FSCS, will ETX be in charge or we have to proceed ourselves ?
4) Supposing I transfer to ETX, In case I decide to withdraw my money as soon as received from JSA, are there any charges for withdrawls ? I mean will I be charged by ETX or not ?
Many Thanks in Advance

thank you, clear words. I'll open a demo account to see how reliable ETX works.

wau....Is it possible that this is just today, it is a kind a holiday day, eastern friday ?
My broker has also just today spreads much higher as usually, and it is nothing new for holidays, when some markets are closed.

This is what they offered to me, probably because I had spreadbetting account with Alpari.
I've got this same type of account with ActivTrades and they have much lower spreads even today.

for me not only spreads are important. More important is the availability of the server. There are many brokers in which the server can not be reached in the minutes of important financial news. This means you can not make trades. And that usually costs a lot more money than any spreads. Another important point for me is if I can hedge trades.

The ETXcaptial joke of a bonus... how F***** up can one get...
read the terms and conditions of the bonus offered... by these losers....

*Terms and Conditions

  1. This offer is void where prohibited by law.
  2. This offer is limited to one bonus per person. Once you have claimed the bonus offer you will not be able to make further claims in respect of this offer.
  3. In order to qualify for the bonus you must (a) open either an ETX Capital Trader, Trader Pro or MT4 account, (b) make a deposit of over £1,000, €1,000 or $1,000 (the “Qualifying Deposit”) in the base currency of your account, and (c) request the bonus. Account opening is subject to compliance approval.
  4. The maximum bonus amount is £6,000, €6,000 or $6,000 depending on the base currency of your trading account. The percentage bonus you will receive from your first deposit is detailed below:Qualifying Deposit (£) 1,000 - 2,499 2,500 – 4,999 5,000 – 9,999 10,000+
    Bonus percentage for first deposit 30% 40% 50% £6,000
  5. Once you have made your Qualifying Deposit please contact your Account Relationship Manager or the Customer Service team by emailing [email protected] to get the appropriate bonus applied to your account.
  6. The bonus money will remain on your account and may not be withdrawn until the release criteria are met. To satisfy the release criteria your account must be fully authorised and you must close trade(s) in respect of commodities, foreign exchange and/or indices with a total £/€/$ per point (spread bets), or a number of contracts (CFDs), excluding micro and Mini CFDs, of 300% bonus amount.
  7. If a bonus is applied to your account and you subsequently withdraw funds (including profits) before satisfying the release criteria, we will retract your bonus.
  8. If you do not meet the release criteria within ninety (90) calendar days of the bonus being applied to your account, we reserve the right to retract the bonus funds (or such proportion as is available for retraction).
  9. If your account balance reaches zero, the offer release criteria will terminate and normal trading protocol will apply.
  10. In the event that you are participating in more than one offer simultaneously the release criteria operates as follows: The trades placed following receipt of a bonus amount are allocated towards that bonus’ release criteria, with trades being allocated to any subsequent bonus’ release criteria once the previous bonus’ release criteria have been met in full. Bonus’ release criteria are therefore met in strict chronological order. This principle will apply regardless of the number of offers you are participating in simultaneously.
  11. We will not be held liable for any losses incurred by you as a result of your trading in relation to this offer. Spread betting and trading CFDs is a high risk activity and it is possible to lose more than your initial investment.
  12. A bonus will be revoked or withdrawn from customers who abuse the spirit of this offer. We reserve the right to cancel/remove a bonus at any time in case of any suspected abuse of the offer. “Abuse” includes, but is not limited to, the opening of multiple accounts to claim multiple bonuses. Further, where any term of a bonus offer is breached or there is any reasonable suspicion by ETX Capital that a customer has acted fraudulently or obtained an unfair or unintended advantage, we reserve the right to stop any attempted withdrawal of profits.
  13. We are the sole arbiter of these rules and any other issue arising under this promotion. Exceptions to these rules are at the sole discretion of ETX Capital’s management, and our decision is final. We reserve the right to amend, withdraw or restrict this offer at any time without notice.
