    Problem FastBrokers and FXDD case

    I wonder, if Raimundas wins, does that have any effect on the defaults/settlements? Probably not the settlements... Just wondering if Raimunda's persistance could be leveraged by the others? Win or lose I hope Raimunda posts as much information as possible, because as we know, win or lose, the...

    Problem FastBrokers and FXDD case

    Well. Just playing devils advocate, wouldn't FXDD have to prove that the client obtained the software? Although improbable, as brokers issue their own mt4 platform packages, and also supply updates within, technically they could have fed the hacked version to the clients. Unlikely, but possible?

    Problem FastBrokers and FXDD case

    I don't see how given the reported way that the hacked client/EA works would allow injection of invalid prices, unless the server software must be compromised with bad code/bug/exploitable code. Yes, the client may actually utilize that exploit, but I'm guessing that brokers stay up to date...

    2011 Forex Broker Scam of the Year Nominees

    another way to ensure that even one trader doesn't get scammed is by bringing good brokers and managers to their attention. But we do not have an award for best/honest/fair broker of the year? Just seems ultra-negative to me. For a forum with 'peace' in the name, we sure are looking for a fight.

    2011 Forex Broker Scam of the Year Nominees

    Been a member of FPA for a while. I fully support the concept of FPA as such, however, are we not getting a tad pompous if we actually start to get our members involved in nominating 'awards' for bad behavior? Most of us are here, if not all, not because this is a 'game'... From a certain...

    FXCM slipage accountability - Good news for us

    I think FPA should modify broker review pages to list clearly, the statistics of brokers. That is, clearly up the top, not only listing a star rating and number of good reviews/bad, but ALSO the number of times litigated (and win/lose). Whilst one or two bad user reviews is not really an...

    Discuss Exness.com

    I agree, most of the time their services are quite good, and the features are quite good. I think the only thing this company could improve on is by getting accredited by a proper body (NFA, etc), and also drastically improving the quality of live tech support - I understand they are russian...

    Update: Exness was apparently subjected to a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack today. Apparently most services are restored. Seems they had one very unhappy customer....

    irwan best bet is to contact them when their website comes back up. i am not sure if you can make a claim if you didnt set an SL/TP, so you'd want to check their TOC.

    Discuss Exness.com

    it seems their trading servers are back up, i am getting tick data again. the website is still down. also their primary nameserver was down for a while, i am guessing they hide some sort of widespread technical issue that they are still dealing with.

I use skype for chat mainly though, can't really make...

    Exness customers: what's going on? Just noticed my EXNESS mt4 client has "No Connection" listed. usually this is my box playing up, but it turns out this time it's not. The EXNESS main website is inaccessible/down here. This is also confirmed using http://exness.com Is Down -> Check if your...

    Can we build a better broker?

    Sounds good, a good level of reservation is showing cautiousness, which shows good intent, and providing the funds yourself in a way is showing more responsibility perhaps. In the meantime, good luck with your other projects! On that note, I should perhaps mention that my full time job is as...

    Can we build a better broker?

    honest question, would the goal be to become NFA reg'd? Thought the point was to have a community regulated system, but I suppose there might be perks to getting NFA reg'd.

    Can we build a better broker?

    I do not believe I would be a perfect partner, nor do i believe a perfect broker exists or can exist. But we can danm well try, right? FTR: I don't even believe I have the required business skills to operate as a solid partner. Of course willing to provide whatever advise I can, but I...
