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.
Rules:
2. Give some useful information. "Broker A is great!" doesn't tell anyone how good the broker really is.
I find that ICMarkets are a good all rounder.Hello Troops,
I'm feeling a little burned out by hearing nothing but scam, Scam, SCAM all day long. I have a broker that I don't like. The reason I haven't changed is that I'm worried a new one would be worse.
So, what I really want is to hear from as many of you as possible. If you've used a broker and like them, tell about that in this thread. Please include information about how long you've traded live with the broker and how the withdrawal process went.
Rules:
1. Write in your own words. Don't copy advertising from the broker's website. There's enough of that in the Spammers Hall of Shame already.
2. Give some useful information. "Broker A is great!" doesn't tell anyone how good the broker really is.
3. Not everyone will like the same brokers. If you disagree with another person who posts, please do so respectfully.
4. If you work for the broker, mention that in the first sentence of your post.
5. If you have any other financial relationship with the broker other than being a happy customer, mention that in the first sentence. This thread is in the Commerce Zone, so commercial links are permitted. You can put in an affiliate link. If you do, tell everyone why they should use your link instead of going straight to the broker's website.
6. If I catch anyone breaking rule 4 or rule 5, the consequences won't be pleasant. I'm also hoping that everyone will follow rules 1-3. I'd like this thread to be useful, not a spam war or a flame war.
One other request. As long as you are writing such nice things about your broker, go ahead and leave them a review here at the FPA too.
Mate, are you still with n1cm.com? How is it going?Hi,
You have started an excellent thread. That is a question of many newbies and experienced traders.
People should understand that brokers are the same as banks. I'm a high volume trader. I'd contact the broker before I start the account opening procedure. I tell them about my trading strategies and monthly volume and withdrawal frequencies. I'll make it sure that they are okay with my terms. I'd fill out the registration forms after I deemed it appropriate.
I have to admit that I've heard many rejections or the broker did not fulfil their promises.
Almost a year ago, I crossed to N1CM broker (n1cm.com), and I have found them cooperative, regulated and honest with customers.
I suggest you contact them and see if they can understand your wishes.
