    Does anyone use Forex.com?

    Ouaoh pretty bad reviews from this website http://www.forexpeacearmy.com/public/review/www.forex.com... Thing is, there are so many phoney websites to push CFDs when you google anything on it, that it is not that easy to find the good critical sites... Don t know how that website manages to...

    Ex. Galleon guy blows 100 million dollar hedge fund in 4 weeks.

    They have to care a bit.. otherwise with crashing and burn I doubt they will make much of fees... in this case blowout before 1 year, not sure he will be able to collect his management fees... (if yes, 2%x100M=2mil... still not a bad year for the average Joe; but career and CV done)

    Ex. Galleon guy blows 100 million dollar hedge fund in 4 weeks.

    He got the funding cos he got the CV and the connections... that s all. Yeah big deal, if he s sued am sure he has 100mil spare saved somewhere, just in case he needed one day to repay investors... LOL... No picture of this looser on Internet. Good point Southhall, he has probably not learnt...

    Ex. Galleon guy blows 100 million dollar hedge fund in 4 weeks.

    Anyone has a picture of the guy? I d love to see what a winner like this looks like... He manages to raise 100mil, most certainly on the back of it "spotlessly clean" resume (guy had never failed before in any of its endeavours you see), and blows it up in less than 9months... Astounding...

    Ex. Galleon guy blows 100 million dollar hedge fund in 4 weeks.

    Definitely, a letter stating "sorry", and maybe adding a bottle of wine for Xmas to each investor should do it... LOL Raising the bar of finance ethics !

    Does anyone use Forex.com?

    They seem to go at great lengths not to display the margins per contract... Not on their website, not on MT4... you need to download a broker specific application to get what they call a "margin calculator" (LOL...). Don t know if they re doing that just to confuse the small time newbie... When...

    Any full-time traders in Madrid, Spain ?

    I am a directional trader, so when I want to be long something, usually I look for a signal to short anti-correlated assets. Concentrated bets, trying to respect stops as much as possible

    Any full-time traders in Madrid, Spain ?

    I see. I only trade CFDs, only equity indices, some pairs and gold. I suppose you re working or studying so it makes sense to trade the US, which I only trade up to about 5pm.

    Why is the "how come no broker ranking on ET?"-thread gone??...

    Oh I see thanks. Well I think it should also appear in some way in the "Brokers" sections as this is a natural question that will come to most people s mind on that section...

    Why is the "how come no broker ranking on ET?"-thread gone??...

    Boy, dodgy brokers do have their way... I have also noticed in the past few weeks, as soon as one starts raising the question level above "how do I open an account" to tricky points of the terms and conditions, or essential questions such as margins, the "helpfulness vibe" of those dodgy...

    How come there is no broker ranking on EliteTrader?...

    I did not know ET was based in the US, for some reason I always thought ET was from Europe. Well ok, that s a whole different ball game there, common law that is. We Europeans always get amazed at the crazy settlements we hear about from the US, like some bum getting millions for getting burned...

    How come there is no broker ranking on EliteTrader?...

    Hi Baron, thanks for such a quick reply... well that explains a lot... and am also pretty sure that the dodgier brokers are the most aggressive with legal threats and stuff... That s great you are working on a new release, maybe based on ratings (1 out of 10, or out of 5 etc on several...

    How come there is no broker ranking on EliteTrader?...

    Based on users preferences... For a trading forum website.. that would seem pretty basic. With basic criterias like: - spread; - spread consistency; - dodgy problems frequency (weird margin hikes, trades cut out for no reason etc); -technology, etc.
