Justin, will the Philippines also be added to the list of countries allowed to open accounts with MBT-UK? Certainly hope so--and soon!

4xprop opinions? — Has anyone here dealt with 4xprop? They claim to be a true prop shop in that they don't charge a fee. You only need to trade your own live account for 8-10 weeks (at FXCM or Alpari) so they can evaluate your performance. ...

How to become a prop trader

Couldn't agree more. I think that's what every trader wishes with every broker s/he opens an account with. But somehow, somewhere along the way, something happens to dash our hopes. Be the exception, GoMarkets!

GoMarkets Discussion

To be fair, I'd just like to report that my platform has been working smoothly all day today.

GoMarkets Discussion

I hope I'm not speaking too soon but the glitch seems to have now been fixed; chart no longer frozen for me.

GoMarkets Discussion

I'm not using a VPS and my GoMarkets live platform is frozen right now even as the MBT one (demo) is working fine.

GoMarkets Discussion

Thankfully, it's working fine for me now!

GoMarkets Discussion

It was much better last week before the fix. My platform has been acting weird since I opened it this morning; no disconnects but clicking on the buttons doesn't produce the usual response. Besides being frozen, the chart gets messed up. And worse, ...

Same here. AUD account; trading from the Philippines.

Hi. I suggest using a MT4 broker that offers CFD's. It will list stocks and you can pull up a price-chart just like you can for forex, metals, etc.

MT4 navigational tips and techniques

Good to know, Chris, even though I'm not a scalper. So that's the back story for all these uh, recent developments. Hope the spreads get tighter, too, with the rebates gone (I rarely see the spread on the EUR/USD pair go under 1 pip).

Hi Alstural. He said 6 WEEKS, not 6 months. But it might still be a good idea to ask FinFx about this.

FinFX opinions

Huh? I just asked what I thought was a valid question. Why the expletive? At least allow Chris to answer--unless you own GoMarkets.

GoMarkets Discussion

Thanks for the above, alstural. I guess they operate differently when it comes to hedging.

FinFX opinions

Chris, sorry but I still don't get why US-based brokers (e.g., Oanda) allow withdrawals via Paypal and you don't. Does this imply Oz has stricter AML regulations? This is an area where GoMarkets falls short in my opinion. Hope you can hasten up ...

I mean, at another MT4 broker, if I have an equal number of shorts and longs--If I HEDGE, in other words-- my equity would be equal to my free margin. There is zero margin used. At FinFX, this isn't the case.

FinFX opinions

Paypal withdrawal option — Withdrawal by Paypal would be very much welcome. I can't think of any justifiable reason for not allowing this option, can you? If you can put money in thru Paypal, why can't you take it out the same way?

GoMarkets Discussion

hedging at FinFX — I have a question for those that hedge their trades at FinFX. I notice that the margin does not get offset when you put two opposing trades of the same quantity at the same time. This is unlke the practice at other MT4 ...

FinFX opinions

Same here.

GoMarkets Discussion

I fully agree that GoMarkets should offer a number of alternatives for taking money out besides bank withdrawals, like most brokers out there.
