I assume I'm "the other guy"? If so what I say about Refcofx accounts and margin calls is 100% correct. I trade a live account. A 150K position, with no stops, will cost you $750.00. If you have $800.00 in your account maximum loss is $50.00. If you have $2000.00 in your account maximum loss is $1250.00. The amount of dollars you put into your trade will not be lost.
I'm not saying you are incorrect, it's just strange as stops are not guaranteed anymore. This trick would effectively allow you to place guaranteed stops.
Grrr.... what do you mean by "stops are not guaranteed anymore"? Many brokers claim that stops are honored as they are, and a handful of forex guides claim this as well - are you saying that these brokers/guides are incorrect? Based on what, if I may ask? These are disturbing news for me...
Some brokers do not guarantee any stop, slippage is always possible. Other brokers guarantee stops, but make an exeption for volatile market conditions (=when the market gaps). See the * on the page below for RefcoFX http://www.refcofx.com/whyrefco.html I believe 'volatile market condition' is defined totally at their discretion, but you'd have to follow up on the Client agreement to find out for sure.
