Interesting transcript with InterbankFX

24-48 hours for a wire transfer? I've always been able to get one done either same day or if I initiated it at night have it received by around noon the next day. Sounds bogus to me.
 
Quote from version77:

Adam apologized to you for being bullheaded and then you ask
him if he thinks you are an idiot to him? Sounds like you are having
a bad day.

If you had to ask why a check takes 7 days to clear then they
probably did think you were a $500 piker.

And if you would kick out your "support staff" for such a simple
comment then you probably wouldn't have anyone working for
you for more than a week. Good luck finding someone to kiss your ass...

BTW... pulling that Refco thing on them was real classy too...:confused:

Actually I was having a great day. Caught a nice 35 pip euro slide on board with 30 lots. You caught it too, right?

I didn't ask why a check takes 7 days to clear ... I asked why thier policy is to not SEND a check for 7 days after the request. Was that over your head?

FWIW, I have the finest and most well paid CS/SS in my industry ... mostly because I weed out the "Adams".

How in the world does one discuss a large account with an FX firm and NOT bring up Refco??? If they aren't pre-prepared to deal with that question it brings them into question not me.

I make no apology for being a hard ass, especially to a broker.

I also make no apology for having large accounts. Am I really supposed to real bad about that? I'll contemplate that during my limo home.

bigmrfrank,

If I were you, I would have deleted this thread.

looks like nobody is gonna reply with sympathy.

Who's looking for sympathy? Not me. Well maybe ... Pooooor me, I can't trade wireless after playing golf. For the better. Just a warning for others. If the post was not taken as such then there is not much I can do about that.

Exactly. And they don't send out a check for 7 days after the request. That was the point of the post but alsa that was missed by most.

Show your trade statement showing you made 35 pips with 30
lots then I will believe you. Otherwise, you sound like a piker.

From your "having a good day" conversation with Adam boy it
does not, repeat does not say anything about sending a check for
7 days. Do you expect us to read your mind on this one?

If you are scared of running into a "Refco" thing, then get out of
the FX market right now. It is not for you. Trade currency futures
or whatever you think might be safer to you. It's a no-brainer.

And you weren't being an ass, just a brat if you ask me.

As far as riding a limo home, why not buy a nice car and drive it
home yourself? You can drive can't you?... LOL...

Potential 6 figure account my ass... Maybe you should of told Adam
up front about this so-called "potential 6 figure account" and
maybe, just maybe he would of kissed your ass MORE than he
already did. How much ass-kissing do you need anyway Frank?
 
Is trading 30 lot considered big play?

If it is, maybe I am dreaming too much...

I am thinking about trading at least 50 lots when I am ready to quite my day job....

Should I lower my bar?

This part does sound bogus. If Adam boy quoted 3 days for a
wire transfer I would run as fast as I could away from these saps...

I have to prove to you a lousy 35 pip move? Is that a big deal for you? Pick a fight elsewhere.

I clearly asked him to justify his company policy to hold OUTGOING checks for 7 days after a request is submitted. That's what the website states. No mind reading required. Do you wait for 7 days after you request money from your account? I hope not.

My current FX account is covered by a Fidelity 14 bond against going Refco. Better than a sharp stick in the eye NO?

Myself and inner circle employees always take the limo on Fridays. It's a great perk and we can get as drunk as we desire. I buy of course ... another perk.

I didn't tell him the nature of my account size looking to see how everyone is treated. I guess that is of little concern to you. That's the nature of your attack isn't it? My account size. Geez.

Anyway, nothing personal, have a great day and strive for the account size that makes you happy.

30 is nothing but it was a pretty nice wave to catch while listening to one of my vendor's hold music loops. 50 is nice but it really depends on your account size and trading style.
