Land FX review: Regulations, Platforms, Trading Instruments and Broker Ratings.

I was looking for a broker that still offers stop outs under 100%, wasnt sure it was still a thing in a regulated environment until i’v discovered landfx.

Their spreads could be better for exotic pairs, but having your cake and eating it too, is certainly not about forex.

Besides thar, i am really happy with this broker and suggest it to everyone looking to trade micro lots.

Albeit the lack of spread trading (0 tax), Land-FX is cheap in comparison to other UK-regulated entities.

I am actively trading a Martin-Gale EA and another scalping strategy that makes the cost of spread (on majors) absolutely essential. The total amount i save on monthly basis with land-fx is approaching a 5% per month in comparison to bigger EU players.

I am not sure about other trading methods, but If you are in for high-frequency trading, I suggest you take a check this chain out.

Not sure why non-regulated brokers have such a freedom down here in Africa. Discovering land-fx via ECS (Pamm managers from Estonia, Europe) is the first time in over 3 years of forex trading, that i can consider investing more than pocket money into this brokerage and their subsequent Automated Trading Systmes (the call them EAs).

As a non-professional, I don't care that much about the spreads and trading fees as I do about being able to withdraw profit. But my friends are saying Landfx doesnt' charge much.

Will be updating the review as soon as i finish the first year of trading with them in March.

Nothing less of spectacular in a way land-fx conducts their business in my region. I'v tried several premium brokerages, and ended up with their less regulated entities that provide really little protection at the prices of the service Germans get it.

At land-fx you know what you are paying for, the spreads on forex majors are minimal; the broker is clearly keeping some of the orders on b-book - which is fine by me as long as they pay, then there's a comfortable account funding and no annoying emails pushing you to trade more five days week around the clock.

Overall, if you are looking for a descent discount broker that won't evaporate the next time any relatively strong wind blows, you'v got Land-FX ready to tak you up on it's promises.

Despite the luggy PAMM interface, i eventually made sense of the basic principle to be able to follow some of the strategies with "gambling" part of the deposit.

Still can't wrap my head around which traders to trust exactly, but at least there's no luck of thereof.

Land-fx banks location doesn't actually make it unprofitable to keep the money in deposit, so don't rush catching to golden goose with the money managers, land's are not too greedy with the spreads to trade yourself (if you have a vision or technique, preferably both actually).

Despite quite an aggressive bonus on deposits and leverage of up to x1000, the lands didn't budge when the volatility increased even further back in mid-june.

I am happy there's still place in FX, when you are not bothered by obnoxious regulators , meanwhile still feeling relatively safe to keep going.

2020 is probably the best year for making it with trading, even if for the pure luck, which i wish everyone who decide this type of life.

The latest wave of regulation made forex a bit of a sour competition.

But there's rarely a now walk-around, now is there? :). Don't get me wrong the impression land-fx makes is far from "walkaround" type of a business. If not only the world we live in..

I believe it was a temporary issue with intermediary bank during COVID as card and sticpay withdrawals were processed smoothly during the same time. So everything's in order after all, keep up the good work and Wena has been very helpful!

Mar 18, 2020 - No Rating I am a customer at LandFx for many years now and I have always been pleased by their level of service. I do not wish to give a rating as the issue is still ongoing, but since the beginning of the crisis, their bank wire withdrawals do not reach my bank account anymore. They are still processing the credit card refunds, but not the bank wire withdrawals. I hope this resolves quickly and that it is not a liquidity issue on their side. I will keep the community posted about this issue

According to my rough calculation, trading 30 lots a month could save you up to 7% on trading expenses, should you consider a good discount broker (which i believe land-fx is) over a wanna be big boy and offer etfs and stock prime brokerage that will squeeze on things like financing fees and commissions on prime of the prime ECN technologies (often times still wrapped in a inferior mt4)

You broker's really tested, when things don't go as planned. The stories i hear from fellow traders - stuck in a trade for the broker going silent, after, apparently, bankrupting itself over WTI, are horrendous.

One knows what she's getting onself into when choosing forex though. So far Land-FX hasn't shown a sign of strain over what looks like a very tough period for humanity.

I'm grateful to have this respite from the madness. Never have i though to fined solace in trading, yet here i am ruminating out loud about it :)
