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.
I have had an account with IC Markets for about 6 months now and they are actually the best forex broker I have dealt with. Their spreads are razor sharp, I have actually seen inverted spreads (ie negative spreads) on their Metatrader 4 platform. They are also an ECN unlike 99% of other market maker Metatrader brokers in the market, this is probably why you haven't heard of them.
Because they are not a market maker they don't profit from client losses and pump the money back into marketing.
If you want good service and clean prices IC Markets are one of the best out there.
Hi Rahman and f-man,
Yes I am new, I was browsing the forum and noticed mention of my broker so I thought it only fit to share my opinion, please let me know if you have a problem with this.
I have been trading forex for over 11 years on the institutional banking level and in the last 3 years since my retirement on very few occasions have found a retail broker that is able to offer me the service and pricing I got when I was in the office.
And yes f-man I have made many deposits and withdrawals, these guys are regulated by ASIC so if there is ever any problem I have 100% re-course.
If you would like to contact me directly please feel free to message me.
Hi f-man
I am trying to understand what you would like me to prove, that I have an account with IC Markets, that my broker is an ECN, that I am a profitable trader or that I have made deposits and withdrawals from my broker?
Please let me know what you would like and I would be happy to email you any information that you require.
