Yes agree... at the end of the day you are forking out real money for a business concept... so regulators should scrutinize them in same way as an IPO but the promoters argue that these are utility tokens and not security tokens... BS lot of BS

Hamster wheel is not a Nasty allegation but a aspect of this business model from a point of view of a trader / client that can be legitimately raised If you can;t see legit questions and bully anybody who raises them then I dont want to spend any more time on this..you know what you win ... ok...

All I am putting forward is consumer point of view what the pitfalls could be in this model ( yours or others) infact I stopped referring to your business directly and I am not the only one who is critical of this. It seems you just don't like pointed questions. By the way passing a GRE can...

“hamster wheel” label ...there is a reason behind that .. people are not stupid... it goes to the core of the business model what % are funded etc.. but I am sure you will dismiss it

Why is it that anytime a person scrutinizes these business models ( like trader2020 did) he/ she is labelled as "someone who couldn't pass the gauntlet "' or the excuse of "It is a free world take it or leave it!" I hope supporters of this kind of business clarify in clear term what trader...

yes I am pragmatic that is why I am still with them.. all I am point out is the excuses given by IB here are lame excuses in an somewhat well maintained jurisdiction like ASIC they should be able to be fully compliant easily and provide the services that other are already providing

Yes they are and I am still a client main reason is single account / low comms etc but customer service ! better not talk about it and haphazardness in service in AUS. Not being able to have simple Margin A/c is ridiculous ASIC treats everybody equal Leverage of 1:3 for equity is normal...

I was just pointing out the lack of logic in NOT supporting AUS based clients. That s is all. Of course I know that there is no law which says they must do business in any particular country It was customer feedback..

CAACAPITAL There is no point in arguing with these guys.... The very fact that people level criticism like"hamster wheel" is not for no reason.. but that gets ignored Genuine Prop firms don't charge people.. period. neither do they run a charity they do spend OWN money in hunting genuine...

I read what you wrote about Banks owning Brokerages etc but as customer that is not here or there , As a customer all I need is the service. And how is that a reason? in US IB is not a bank either but provides Margin! at retail we got attracted to IB with it's low rates and giant status but what...

Is it possible to search by strategy?

Re Margin loan it is for equity only...and that product is clearly available for decades ..For example COMSEC owned by CBA bank has equity brokerage and CFD but no body PUSHES a new client towards CFD! so why such a giant like yourself do not offer simple Margin under ASIC jurisdiction? is a...

But these rules apply to all domestic brokers also for local market products .. and they still operate ! nothing new !

For a giant broker like IB why is it too difficult to convince ASIC? other US brokers like Options express were offering Margin long time ago! Also you giys forced AUS account holder to transfer the accounts to IB AUs from IB USA THUS LOOSING THE SIPC protection... WHY? Also you stopped...

So On IB Australia people can trade CFds? on which stocks? USA? ASX? or other underlying also for LONG and SHORT position do you offer any cross margin??

so WHO CAN? IB DOES NOT ALLOW MARGIN trading or CFD for Australians also! only cash accounts stupid :( the only alternative is to go through expensive Australian brokers!

If you are talking about traditional betting then you can't trade out if things go wrong way . I was referring to P2P betting exchanges .. i guess they are not yet legal in USA! unlike UK, Australia etc

In USA is it possible to TRADE on sports betting like on betting exchanges www.betfair.com ? as an exchange one can LAY and ( bet that it won;t happen) and also Trade out also one can place bets IN PLAY instead of just waiting for a binary outcome.

something fishy :vomit: LOL when I read their reasoning for "why we do this" gobbledygook!

Yes so only value / advantage is some forced risk management stopping you from changing your own rules (as you explained( By the way when you say Tradovate you mean any broker and own account ! correct Tradovate is just an example By the way Tardovate does not seems to offer any span margin for...
