Hi everyone
Had a nice meeting with one of the Exential representative at their office in Media City.
Went for the meeting after reading the 13 pages of this thread, and ask some of the hard questions : who are the owners of the company, what guarantee do I have you won't run away with my money, when a performance is too good to be true then usually it is, why is it so opaque, why not to give a Read only access to the trading account, how Exential story is different from MMA etc...
Not all the answers I got were very detailed, but I could feel the person I had in front of me had probably heared those questions before and was well prepared.
The meeting lasted one hour.
Well, my gut feeling is that it's not all transparent, and maybe there is something fishy there. But the guy I had in front of me seemed pretty confident in what he was saying. He also mentionned that Exential is expanding internationally, with shortly offices in Hungary, Australia etc....
Soooooo. ...
I guess just like many of their clients, greed is guiding my mind, and I am about to open an account with them. Finger crossed, all of it will not collapse in the next 12 months, till I recoup my investment.
I have a question. They offer now the option to choose between 2 brokers:
- FCI Market, based in the UAE, where the account will be in AED. The problem is that the account with FCI is a segregated account in the name of Exential and not my name
- Ellipsys, based in Mauritius. There the segrateted account will be in my name, but it's in Mauritius ....
Which option among those 2 would you recommend, and why ?
cheers
