    US Trading Capital

    If you are now a successful trader the main thing you should be concerning yourself with is the security of your principal. If you have been trained by a firm that has put time and money into you and gives you 75percent of profits I don't see really your point. This firm deserves earning from...

    If you are going to be preoccupied with worry about Gain Capital then I would use your canadian broker as you believe you are safe. Forex offers huge leverage..10k lets you play with 1musd. a few pips over the spread should never be the reason you decide not to trade in my opinion as the trade...

    US Capital - are you kidding me?

    at a quick glance it does not seem shady, their funds are secure and the trader accepts all losses, fees etc. I assume that they have a relationship with the broker and that both would agree upon a max daily loss and one would be flat end of day .. They have a win win situation. what shady...
