{quote} I think etx formulated incorrectly. You have 300% of the bonus invest. 6000 bonus currency are not standard lot. So invest 18000 real. 18000 comprises 72 Lot at leverage 400. Do you know how much are 18000 standard lot? 1.8 billion.
I wish you were right bro. I certainly know how much is 18000 standard lots which is impossible to achieve for me (I only take 1-2 lots at one trade with my account with around 15000 pounds). However, I don't believe ETX will let us get 6000 pounds bonus with closing only 18 lots contracts (according to your calculation). Do you believe I can withdraw 6000 pounds bonus after opening and closing 18 lots trade at one second?

ETX is a market maker, it wants to push us to take extremely high risks with trading unsuitable amounts of contracts, and we will lose all the money through this. I hope my thoughts are wrong then we could all get the bonus. Just don't leave any expectations on that.

Looking for a real ECN broker like Alpari, considering Pepperstone... Anyone has good recommendations?

{quote} I think because the euro has weakened so much it would convert into more euros than it otherwise would have. for me, at current prices I will get less because pound is above 1.518
fuck... and in my case how much i will take in EUR? EUR balance: 35057, Dollar claims: 40716$, household claim: 26903.

It's like (cmp claim) 40716$/1.5158= 26861*1,39€= about 37300€. Or maybe is not like that.

or (household claim) 26903 = 40717$ (19 jan) 40717$ to today spot rate eur = 37417€.

Right? someone can help me to understand? thank you very much

If that is the case, the offer is just bullshit. Offer is just a trap.
Even if one can trade all those required lots, they would have gotten back those offered bonus through the spreads.
And what nonsense...they can refuse the bonus anytime they want. Their decision is final. Total bullshit !!

Agree. Besides I have learned to be really careful with brokers that offer big bonuses.

ASIC regulated brokers might be a good start.

ok. thanks for info. will post after my funds arrived.
I am realy glad that fscs exist. Would never go with a broker without any compensation scheme and thats only with FCA regulated brokers.
All others like ASIC or Cysec didnt have such a safety.

Yes its hard enough to make money out of the forex market. If you want to build up some funds FCA is the only way to go imho.

Switzerland insures your balance up to (CHF 100,000)
Cysec brokers have this fund similar to FSCS (can't remember the name) it insures up to (EUR 20,000)
Someone here said before that Newzealand brokers insure up to ($200,000) but i contacted a few of them and they all said its not true.

I think in Switzerland Dukascopy is a safe bet

and in Cyprus i think exness is really good and reliable

in Uk at the moment, i like Oanda (UK), hantec markets if you are into currenex and Fxpro are also good

just an opinion

The Cypriot and other similar sites should be treated with more caution.
