Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.
Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.
Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"
Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"
Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"
Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.
More info coming soon.
Yes, I believe that when the client accounts are attached to the master trading account, you can see your account but, will not have control over it for trading purposes.
Correct, the account is under the MAM. You see live trades as they happen, however profit and stop loss levels are not shown. Money withdrawal has to be initiated via the Broker and is advertised to take up to 3 days.
Account is going well- in the first 12 (!) hours of operation 2.5% realised return. Sound ok in my books.
Both the Broker platform as well as the Fortress Fund have responded to emails very promptly in a professional and courteous manner. There are other good operators out there with 7+% returns per month and they are definitely in that league.
So IMHO this is legit. I am satisfied and have recommended this to my family and friends- up to you what you do...
Fortress FX Fund is not claiming to be associated with Fortress Investment Group LLC (FIG) and their macro Fortress fund. FIG is a hugely diversified company that has its fingers in quite a lot of portfolio companies and REITs ... the former - the subject of this discussion - is only focused on the FOREX markets. There are also other "Fortress Funds" out there ... there is one in Barbados, for example. I doubt that FIG will be suing Fortress FX Fund as they have not infringed on any intellectual property rights that FIG may have, nor are they claiming to to represent any subsidiary or portfolio company of FIG. Based on their investment briefs, the mission and objectives of the Fortress FX Fund and the macro Fortress Fund are distinctly different.
However, given all this musing, there is still no evidence that I can find which would suggest that Fortress FX Fund is a scam. I certainly acknowledge the point made by Pharaoh regarding the "newness" of the website, however. The only true way to work out if this is a scam is to actually utilise their service(s) and see if what they are claiming is true. So, I have gone and done just that. I, like Alex FD, have funded my own account to provide a determination to the group that is beyond the hearsay and rhetoric. I'll keep you all informed.
