Caution I can only speak for myself, but when I go to a new broker, I deposit only the MINIMUM up front. After some interaction (time) with the broker, I begin to cautiously increase my investment if I feel comfortable doing so. It's not a perfect system, but it helps.

singlemalt I may be a little different in my approach to brokers, but I never let any 'bonus' enticement influence my decisions as to where I put my business. My only interest is: 1. Are they regulated? (Other than the !@#$$#@ CTFC) 2. Do they have a history of violations with their...

singlemalt Sigh.. Lets make it simple Rich, There are three ways to lie: By inference, by omission, and just to tell a bald-faced lie. I would exempt you from the last, but the first two? It's all too obvious you inferred and omitted information that caused the purchaser to think something...

singlemalt Is there a table of results for all the tested EA's here at FPA? On a related subject, FYI, I have been running two EA's out of the same live account simultaneously. That is until the CFTC got me kicked out of GoMarkets in Australia..Grrr. Anyway for three months I averaged a...

FYI. due to the new Dodd-Frank law and ensuing regs issued by the CFTC, Go Markets cannot take US folks as clients. They are closing my account as os 10/18. Too bad, they are a good broker, I hate to leave them. Don't you just love nanny (meddling) government?

This is probably the wrong place to ask this, but are there any plans to evaluate Forex Magic Bullet? I have a copy and it may be a good product., but I haven't been able to make it do anything. I've had it running since late March, but no trades, and the support staff apparently doesn't exist...

Any idea when??? Has anybody heard anything as to when the CFTC is to implement these !@@#$#$! rules? rumors, gossip, anything?? I'm in the process of moving my account out of the country even though I'm happy with my broker (IamFX), and I was wondering?????

I don't normally tell much about myself, but here goes: I have been trading forex for about a year now and I have learned just how little I know about this type of trading. In the early '80s I was a licensed stockbroker, but this is much quicker and the shortness of the trades is amazing. I...

Money tree? Let me see now, all I have to do is keep repeating that phrase over, and over, until I really believe it myself... Y'know, that really works, I remember from the early 1930's the millions of Germans who chanted: Seig Heil!, Seig Heil! Seig Heil! Gee, look how well that worked out...

Cutting to the chase I have been reading with interest piphog's opinions, and watching the responses. I am, in Forex, a newbie, but it doesn't take a newbie to see what is the issue. We seem to have someone who is worried about his fellow traders and thinks the Government should protect us...
