RefcoFX#8: Welcome to RefcoFX's Live Chat feature. You are now chatting with a RefcoFX representative. How can I help you?
You:: yo, I want to trade forex with Refco.
You:: can I open an account?
RefcoFX#8: yes, you would simply need to complete the online application on our website

You:: what is the minimum I need to open an account?
RefcoFX#8: We recommend starting out with at least $2,000 in a mini account, but the absolute minimum to open an account is $300
You:: and what is the maxium I can deposit?
You:: maxium = maximum
You:: as in "maximum deposit."
RefcoFX#8: If you are depositing by credit card the max is $5,000 per calendar month. Webcheck maximum is 50,000, and there is no maximum if depositing by bank wire.
You:: ah, I see.
You:: and this money deal that Refco is going thru right now with the SEC investigation does not effect anything?
You:: trades are still being made and all?
RefcoFX#8: RefcoFX is actually a separate division in the Refco Group. Refcofx has separate operations, management and client funds from Refco Group. Because of that, funds held with Refcofx are completely unaffected by this. The safely of funds do not change with RefcoFX. Customer funds are segregated and they are not at risk. RefcoFX on all continents is again confirmed to be unaffected in any way shape or form. Business as usual. Withdraw, deposit and trade at will.
You:: ah I see
RefcoFX#8: All trades are still being executed as normal.
You:: so what's your name?
RefcoFX#8: My name is Jason.
You:: Jason.
You:: THE Jason?
You:: I heard all the forex traders are leaving RefcoFX. Is this true?
RefcoFX#8: Yes, this is THE Jason.
You:: all the institutional guys?
RefcoFX#8: We have had a high volume of inquiries about this but overall not much has changed since our clients have been unaffected by this overall.
You:: you still givin' those shifty "requotes," Jason? *wink*
RefcoFX#8: and what is your good name?
You:: MY "good" name?? Mr. Goodall. Why do you ask?
RefcoFX#8: Because I am under the impression that we have met before.
You:: you ever get the feeling, your days are numbers at RefcoFX, Jason?
You:: are you psychic or just have a guilty conscience?
You:: you know I am going to post this on the biggest trader forum in the world, Jason?
You:: how does that make you feel?
RefcoFX#8: Sure, do whatever you would like.
RefcoFX#8: Do you have any questions about RefcoFX or currency trading?
You:: yeah OK - you take care now. I'll be seein' ya in the forex... if you know what I mean.
