I mentioned cfds did I not?...
Yes, you did. US brokers cannot offer CFD trading. They are seen for what they are in the USA. Bullshit. But just because a platform can support a feature, does not mean that every broker out there that supports a platform like MT4 or MT5 is suspect.
MT5 from AMP does not mean that AMP is a suspect broker. Same with IB in the US, I reckon'.
