FXOpen UK - true ECN/STP FCA-regulated broker

Hi, thanks for your interest in FXOpen UK. We offer 'vanilla' MT4 only, and so far the developer has not implemented native support for Mac.

Your options are (on top of Bootcamp etc): 1) either use a workaround https://support.fxopen.co.uk/UK/Know...-4--for-mac-os or 2) use MetaTrader Web Trader webtrader.fxopen.co.uk

I suggest rather that your developer implement a 'for mac' version, like numerous other brokers have already done.

We are happy to announce our Summer Promotion!

No time to waste, see more here https://www.fxopen.co.uk/en/about-us...s-this-summer/

You like using Neteller or Skrill for depositing funds but they are usually too expensive? Not in July at FXOpen UK, as you can deposit funds free of charge via Skrill, Neteller, Credit or Debit Card or Wire Transfer until July 31!

So, Im trying to wrap my head around what phylo said. If FXOpenUK go bust, becuase the money is client money and ring-fenced we should be able to receive compensation from the FCA FSCS at least, if FXOpen screw up? (Im an ex-customer of AlpariUK). If FxOpen put our money in a dodgy bank somewhere and that bank fails, FXOpen are ok, but we may not be able to withdraw our funds. Would we still be able to make a claim against them through the FCA? This may be a question for them to answer, amd I would probably do that *before* opening an account with FXOpen....

Dear HarriFF, we can only reiterate that a) we hold all client money at Barclays Bank in London b) the above clause from T&Cs is a standard clause you will find in T&Cs of most, if not all, FCA-regulated brokers or other financial companies.

Due to very popular demand, our summer promotion has been extended until August 31! Grab it while it lasts.

It's like saying although there's a death penalty in our laws, no one has been executed since 2014. This death penalty is a standard law you'll find in most, if not all third world countries.

May be right now, you're holding client money at Barclay, but could your firm give us a written guarantee that client money will be kept in an uk bank in future while those unpleasant statements still remain in T&C

Is it so hard to make an amendment in your T&C?

Thanks in advance.

High Volatility and Increased Margin Expected Due to the US Presidential Election

High volatility affecting all financial instruments is expected due to the Presidential Election, that will be held in the United States on November 8th 2016.

FXOpen UK may increase margin requirements up to 5 times their normal level starting from November 3rd without prior notice. The changes will affect all financial instruments, including indices.

Throughout this period traders may experience changes in trading conditions such as high volatility, increased margin, low liquidity and wider spreads.
Margin requirements will return back to their normal values with the market opening on November 14th.
We urge traders to take into account that abnormally low liquidity and wide spreads increase the risk of slippage. Please consider these circumstances when planning your trading activities for the following week.

Hi,

Question about XTIUSD index on your mt4 platform? How is it compiled? Is the pricing spot or futures market? If futures how is it compiled between months? Any idea? If spot what it is exactly? Light sweet? WTI? What would be a futures symbol equivalent of it?

Thanks.

Today, Great to know that we have FxOpen(UK) representative in forum here.

1. Does FxOpenUK has representative in (forexpeacearmy) forum. If do, please post link or thread.
2. Possible to add US dollar index and US crude Oil (instead of WTI Oil) into service.
3. Maybe Chinese customer phone service ( My chinese friends mostly can't speak or understand english)
4. Why i register UK account, but line sometimes link to DC 4 arabic server (malaysian here)
5. DC 1, 6 location in UK? ( possible to share info here? )

5xx1405 use this broker since Oct 2015

Hi FxAwon, thank you for being a loyal customer for a year already!

To answer your questions:

1. Does FxOpenUK has representative in (forexpeacearmy) forum. If do, please post link or thread. >> Yes, you can post questions here, but it's always best to ask our support directly, we are there to help you.

2. Possible to add US dollar index and US crude Oil (instead of WTI Oil) into service. >> No dollar index is supplied by our LPs at the moment; not sure what you mean re oil, as WTI is 'US crude Oil' and it is available on our platform.

3. Maybe Chinese customer phone service ( My chinese friends mostly can't speak or understand english) >> No Chinese support at the moment, unfortunately. However we would be happy to sign you up as an IB, so that you can assist your friends and earn a steady flow of IB commission straight into your MT4 account.

4. Why i register UK account, but line sometimes link to DC 4 arabic server (malaysian here) >> DC is selected automatically based on latency, though you can manually select another one. This has nothing to do with where you've opened your account and does not affect trading environment (spreads, liquidity etc), just the latency.

5. DC 1, 6 location in UK? ( possible to share info here?) >> Our trading severs are in New York, in the same datacenter as the vast majority of liquidity providers. A specific DC in MT4 is of lesser importance because as per above it is selected automativcally by MT4, but you can override them if the latency is lower on another one. However if you want to minimise the 'last-mile' latency, it's best to apply for a VPS https://www.fxopen.co.uk/en/forex-vps/

Hi marcindan,
As we are a True ECN/STP broker, we do not price or compile XTIUSD, like any other CFD or currency, we simply push through the prices given by our liquidity providers. How they price a specific instrument is largely irrelevant for us, and they may change their pricing methods too. However to answer your question, XTIUSD is based on a WTI futures.
