Brokers with Negative Balance Protection

Noone suggests to dip into client money, the problem is they have a shortfall in client accounts because of clients losing more money than they deposited. They will have to cover that with company funds, and then try to get it back from clients who ...

CHF move as a broker "Stress Test" - Which tried to honor SL's?

My assuption would be that the regulator(s) would put a freeze on withdrawls until the client trust accounts will be whole. Because if the firm is insolvent, every client will get an even split on what is left - this cant be done on a first come ...

CHF move as a broker "Stress Test" - Which tried to honor SL's?

Jeezus. 225m. Apparently EVERYONE and their moms were short the CHF. I dont get it. The level of ineptitude in retail is staggering.

lizzy: icm appears to charge more than double the commission compared to lcg. And do you really need the whole 300k as margin? Doesnt sound like it if you trade 25 million per month. If you can live with 50k - that much is protected by the FSCS and ...

No, the 85K is for deposits at banks, building societies and credit unions. I think for FX firms the investment limit applies (50k) - at least thats how i read their booklet. url

UK Brokers suitable for large account sizes

Baxter is not UK-based. 20k is not large, certainly not enough for "banks" like the poster above suggests. It used to be different a few years ago(although still not with only 20k), but nowadays there are quite a few banks that quit the FX prime ...
