    OP thinks prop FX firms are safer than offshare FX brokers. That is the only reason he prefers prop FX firms I guess. But I don't think prop FX firms are safer.There are also scams with prop firms . There are a few scams in offshare brokers but most are ok. CFTC only goes after a few but most...

    Best Broker for U.S. Retail Traders?

    I know a guy on a forum who trades forex with volume indicator. This is his post: "In the distant past, I worked with futures, especially with calculating Order Flow from the Time and Sales. But most of my clients blew their accounts, as they were over-committed. So I morphed everything into...

    Spot forex is the most liquid market, daily volume is 5 trillion. euro/usd daily volume 1 trillion. GBP/JPY daily volume about 280 billions. It is much much higher than currency futures. (I made a rough calculation based on euro/usd daily volume on spot forex and currency futures,that spot forex...

    I am doing good. Most people trade equity but they don't know forex is much easier to profit. If you have been able to (consistently)make marginal profit at equity futures, then you will be able to (consistently)make big profit at forex.

    There are two major factors that currency futures are not as good as spot forex: 1. Futures leverage is lower than spot forex. On euro, overnight leverage is roughly equal to 75 times. While spot is 500 times. 2. GBP/JAP is the only pair I daytrading. You don't have this option in futures. My...

    Best Broker for U.S. Retail Traders?

    This is actually a grey area. If offshare brokers do not cross line, CFTC would not care. The line is, if offshare brokers don't solicit US customers,but only accept them when US traders come to them, then CFTC would turn a blind eye. BTW, you are ignorant in thinking traders' money at risk if...

    Best Broker for U.S. Retail Traders?

    They are not allowed to "solicit" US customers, but if US traders come to them, and they accept , that will be no problem. The situation is similar to online poker. US authorities don't like offshore pokerooms to take US customers, but they can't prevent US sitizens from playing online poker at...

    Best Broker for U.S. Retail Traders?

    IB requires 10M to trade forex. Get a offshare broker like Coinexx, FXbrew,with 500:1 leverage and 0.02pip spread(on euro). They are not regulated but many traders traded them for years with no problem. If you are limited to regulated US forex brokers,you are going to tolerate low leverage and...

    Best commission rates for the E-mini micro index futures

    Your $0.37 total per side doesn't include AMP commission. So either AMP doesn't charge commission, or your total price per side is wrong.
