Quote of the day - Trader’s oomph!

I don't wear them inside!

Protect your eyes | Screen brightness adjustment!

Good point, but another reason why I don't want to deposit a huge margin with ANY broker, EU-regulated or not! It's ridiculous to suggest that any trader should deposit his/her whole capital with a broker and yet this crazy low leverage means that ...

European Traders - new ESMA regulations!

Really? That amazes me! What happened when the nagging was ignored? I can't believe domestic authorities would use their (already over-stretched) resources to physically collect such small fees on the behalf of another country...

European Traders - new ESMA regulations!

Yes I agree, the best alternative for EU retail traders by a long shot!

European Traders - new ESMA regulations!

Yes I can confirm payments between IC Markets and Paypal are free and are instant. Thanks leweg1 for your tip, this has saved me the international bank wire fee of AUD20 for each withdrawal I make. It all adds up! I'm not normally a fan of Paypal, ...

European Traders - new ESMA regulations!

Maybe... but since when has any government cared about people losing money? Casinos? Sports betting? It's all additional tax revenue to them! Pissed at how some people make money through forex more like! Small retail traders seeking financial ...

EU is lowering leverage. What now?

Not too soon I hope! Australian brokers are helping us EU retail traders out at the moment! Seems like these regs are spreading around the world...

Brokers for Canadians?

I'm always reducing screen brightness and I also wear sunglasses for about 10 months of the year!

Protect your eyes | Screen brightness adjustment!

Agree but yet another reason why a lot of retail traders are so reluctant to stump up the extra margin, for all their funds just to sit in their broker's account. e.g. I want to place a trade on EURUSD at £10/pip, with a 20 pip stop loss. My total ...

EU is lowering leverage. What now?

Me too! Unfortunately that doesn't look likely. They have just extended the ban on binary options (even before their 3 months was up) so it doesn't look good for CFDs...

EU is lowering leverage. What now?

Agree! They are at least regulated by the likes of ASIC

EU is lowering leverage. What now?

The Seychelles? Wow, there's offshore and then there's... really offshore! 🏝 I'm much more comfortable with the Aussie-variety of offshore...

Vancouver Canada resident looking for new broker

Hi forexvert, it's a shame IC Markets have stopped accepting Canadian clients, I'm with them myself and rate them highly. Have you seen the other thread discussing this alternatives for Canadians? Here it is: url Plenty of suggestions there. All ...

Vancouver Canada resident looking for new broker

I'm guessing the simpler the approach, the more viable phone trading would be. There are apps with indicators available but such a small screen would get pretty busy really quickly once indicators start to be added. It would be interesting to know ...

Trading From Your Phone

Yes, good point EcoTrader! These figures just go to show that the "99% lose" nonsense we've had preached to us for years is a massive red herring! Compare these figures to e.g. starting a successful new business, getting into a top university, ...

Why 99% of traders lose money

Thanks for the info venividivici. I think I'll stay away from these and stick to where I've moved to. Happy with my new home Shame because I've always like IG but nothing ever stays the same...

UK Spread Betting Brokers

Love this thread already Steve! I also have wanderlust and have lived on a boat, in a van and in a house without wifi (and trading for most of those times!). My style of trading might be very different from yours but I have managed with a good (UK) ...
