Leverage beyond 1:100?

  1. I guess that makes FXCM micro trash... I was fuming when I realized I could only withdraw by check.

    ...... a broker who aren't manipulating thieves :)

    That seems to be the thing in this business, the higher the leverage offered - the worse the broker becomes!

  3. Crumbs I can't believe the leverage some of you guys are using....I am demo trading on 3:1. Why go higher than 5:1? The losses are too big above this.

  6. Don't know why that is ???

    your "broker" is in fact your market maker who is on the other side of your trade and the higher the leverage they offer , the less they have to move prices against you ,manipulate to steal your money , the quicker they will get your deposit.

    JUST STAY AWAY FROM "BROKERS" OFFERING MORE THAN 100:1

  9. COUNTERPARTY DISCLOSURE :

    THE FOREIGN CURRENCY TRADING YOU ARE ENTERING INTO IS NOT CONDUCTED ON AN EXCHANGE. FXCM
    IS ACTING AS A COUNTERPARTY IN THESE TRANSACTIONS AND, THEREFORE, ACTS AS THE BUYER WHEN
    YOU SELL AND THE SELLER WHEN YOU BUY. THE PRICES FXCM OFFERS MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST PRICES
    AVAILABLE AND FXCM MAY OFFER DIFFERENT PRICES TO DIFFERENT CLIENTS.
    ALTHOUGH FXCM IS THE COUNTERPARTY TO EACH OF YOUR TRADES, IF YOUR ACCOUNT(S) IS TO BE
    TRADED UNDER A “NO DEALING DESK” MODEL FXCM LIMITS RISK TO ITSELF BY IMMEDIATELY HEDGING
    (OFFSETTING) THE TRADES AND POSITIONS IT ENTERS INTO WITH YOU 1-FOR-1 WITH ONE OF SEVERAL BANK
    MARKET MAKERS. AS A RESULT, FXCM DOES NOT PROFIT WHEN YOU LOSE MONEY ON A TRADE. RATHER,
    FXCM IS COMPENSATED BY MARKING UP THE PRICE IT RECEIVES FROM THE BANK MARKET MAKER.
    IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES FXCM MAY ELECT TO REMOVE YOU FROM “NO DEALING DESK” MODEL. FXCM WILL
    NOTIFY YOU AT THE TIME THAT IT DOES SO. IN SUCH A SITUATION, YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT FXCM MAY
    MAKE MORE MONEY IF THE MARKET GOES AGAINST YOU. ADDITIONALLY, SINCE FXCM ACTS AS THE BUYER
    OR SELLER IN THE TRANSACTION, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY EVALUATE ANY TRADE RECOMMENDATIONS
    YOU RECEIVE FROM ANY OF FXCM’S REFERRING BROKERS. FXCM ITSELF DOES NOT PROVIDE
    INDIVIDUALIZED CLIENT TRADE RECOMMENDATIONS.

  10. Hehe, you still don't get it do you, never mind, don't you worry about it :)

    Yes of course there's an ignore feature, it's simple enough to find and most people don't need to ask how to set it up.......but then for someone who can't even manage to do basic math I guess it could present a problem [​IMG]
