Which criminal can we use?

faze
I hear they don't know what fifo is !!!! this the third time I've heard about finfx.

1. Have you been trading live?
2. trading any EA's?
3. what leverage do they allow??
4. Spreads good??
5. Wire money? Cost?
6. Charts, back data-How far is normal ?: off line allowed ?? I use Renko?? missing data??

Does anybody else know of any other non-usa brokers who accept us citizens ??

I am in the US and have been trading a micro account with FinFX for several months. Zero complaints so far.

I am with Cowboy IBFX since 2007 and I never had an issue with them.
In 2011 I opened GO market L-Plate account and I funded it few hours ago so I will see. Technical support and generally communication seems to be better by Cowboy IBFX.

Is anyone familiar with GFT? http://www.gftforex.com/

I have been running my demos through them. They seem legit, easy to work with. Anyone with any live account experience?

Thanks,

Rick

Anyone heard of UPFX? They are fairly new and accept US clients. I have a demo account with them -- really good spreads.

Hi
This is a very helpful thread and thank you Steve.

I totaly laugh out load everytime i read this due to the word criminal... its so funny I can hardly type.
Brilliantly lol funny... the weird thing is, I know the word is coming up, yet when I read it I still LOL.... Plus the fact the site changes Br'k to Crim is clever and hilarious...Great to brighten up the day.

Finding a straight broker is much much harder than trading.

Anyway RE: UPfx. I have a demo with them also and I have to say... execution fast, 0.01 lot, hedge allowed, slippage havent seen much at all, never had a "hold on while I screw you" requote, and fast response to email is really very good and their spreads are good also.

I'm thinking of a live with them but the only thing holding me back is they are based in the Seychelles and regulated there.

So demo wise top marks.
Has anyone experienced a live account with them and any insights on their regulators would be much appreciated. Or anything really!

Thanks to Steve for this thread.

I just looked at their spreads at 17:53 ET... EU was at 2.9-3.0 while PFG was at 1.1 and Tradestation was at 2.3. UJ was 2.3 vs. 1.4 & 1.8. Looks like UpFX doesn't charge commissions, but neither does TS. So their spreads are OK.

Howdy, thought id try gomarketsaus. Deposited 1000 NZD which is roughly 500 GBP.

I paid the 25 NZD sending fee from a NZD bank account and ive been stung 82 NZD / 41 GBP somewhere in the middle by an intermediary/GO!

Ive recently moved over to NZ (4 months ago) from the UK and use NZforex for most transactions outside of my trading activities.

has anyone else been stung like this with GO? They have an account in Holland and one in Australia. Am i getting penalised because i used NZD ? they say funding cant be denominated in AUD from outside and i have questioned them on this before i deposited... "Unfortunately our NZD bank accounts are only located within Australia."

is this a little sideline to make money? or am i being too cynical because nzforex dont rape me anywhere near this... glad i didnt put in 20,000 NZD.

what are your experiences going via holland and depositing GBP?

If you live in the UK, there is one broker you should seriously consider.
VantageFX, but you have to have Jay Mawji as your client liaison.
The lad is brilliant, he takes calls at all hours, is always happy to help, resolves issues very quickly and best of all with no bullshit.
I do not get any credit for referrals so this is not a punt of VantageFX for personal gain.
I am a person that trades for a living and has done for the last 7 years of my life. I also run a signals service and some of you know me as Forex Fatcat on other forums.
If you are in the UK and want an account that works properly and is represented by someone that actually cares about your account and the way you trade, then give Jay Mawji a ring at VantageFX and tell him that Wayne Ovenstone said you should call.
You can reach them on this number +44 207 332 4954 or you can go to the website and request that they call you back from the top right of the page.

Live, but using their Dealbook, not Empty4, best executions. Even trade with them CFDs on fdax (dax30 future).
