The minimum account opening balances are as follows. Mini Forex: US$500 or equivalent Standard Forex: US$2500 or equivalent Contract For Difference: US$2500 or equivalent ************************ Answer of the author Please check your company side http://www.gftforex.com/documents/processing_fees.pdf please read side one mini account minimum 250$ for mini account by GFT or possible 700 pln Effective 1 januar 2008 ! *************************************** For another reader*s - 1. Account manager(in case of MBT owner) knew not (in case of MBT public lies) what he says/wrote 2.To author answered GFTforex U.K. ,not GFTforex USA To your knowledge competence of FSA U.K. incomparable lower as competence of SEC USA and lower as competence of CFTC (related to regulation forex based USA broker) .But better as in Swiss ,where Swiss forex market/broker are not regulated . Better offer account only in USA ,not in U.K . ************************************* Summary -not to send to any broker any cent ,with exception ,this which was won by trader contest with entry without charge . Any suspect -exist alternative ,buy multiple bottle*s of good cognac . 250$ = approx 4 bottle of 0.7 litr Delamain Pal &DRy 25 years .GR.CH. (Delamain is one company in the world ,which not make cognac with age lower as 25 years) and drink with friends Recently author won some money and would use prize money to this objective*s http://www.delamain-cognac.com/
ssss, thank You for Your funny statement about cognac But I would rather start to be productive, because having fun with friends all the time is boring Indeed, probably the consultants are not well informed. I asked my GFT consultant to clarify, so I will know tomorrow. I think that a broker with a good position will not steal from small accounts, because every unhappy client on the forums makes them loose potential money from new naive clients.
ssss, You've mentioned about "marketzar" can I open an account there without paying 50$ for the platform? I cannot find such a site.
www.marketzar.com yes ,you can play small contest without entry charge 50$ but first prize would only 300$ ,not 1500$ as in contest with entry.
http://www.marketzar.com/license_free_contests.aspx That is free future ,without charge 1 place 300$ 4-7 place right to play great contest wihout charge.
ssss, thank You very much for Your help. I wish You better and better trades all the time, good times with friends and cognac and long times of beatifull silence at most! ....By the way ;] You seem to be very well informed. The way You write makes You a little bit mysterious - like old master of trading ;D Could You, please, give any more clues about trading? Where to search? I am a beginner (trading demo consistently for half of a year), interested in Elliot wave theory, which seems to work well on forex with fibonacci analysis. I am a nanoelectronics phycist with scientifical approach and have also good c++ programming skills. I will try to develop my own system or implement a working one. I would always appreciate every clue to make my dreams come true. I know You "wasted" a lot of thime on this thread clearing out "banalities", but somehow I feel, that You really have a deep knowledge of the markets. If You wrote some clues here or to the PM... I would be grateful. Anyhow thank You very much again
....By the way ;] You seem to be very well informed. The way You write makes You a little bit mysterious - like old master of trading ;D Could You, please, give any more clues about trading? Where to search? 1. No it is false .To be good from author point of view ,must win 15-20 contests -with paper money -they have very good advantage ,that not taxed through germany law and with real money . To date it is not case -author have had operativ best result in USA ,Swiss ,Germany ,but exist lot of persons better as author . 2. Could You, please, give any more clues about trading? No that can not help ,each person have different knowledge ,skill ,risk acceptance and different objective's Author not so good in trading to date and have not and interessed not to develop any kind of didactic skill you can try ask www.markdcook.com or www.turtletrader.com but all on your own responsibility .Author not support all ,what they say/wrote ... Author won by www.marketzar.com (milstar dec2006,feb 2007) through intense training 4 days per week full day training 5-th day game . In year 2006,2007 was offered until 6-8 contest's per month . Sorry for author ,marketzar shutdown author after conflict with price money transfer ... I am a nanoelectronics phycist with scientifical approach and have also good c++ programming skills. I will try to develop my own system or implement a working one. I would always appreciate every clue to make my dreams come true ask www.rentec.com ,they need this kind of persons . see job offered . it is the best adress for trading skill for funds .Before fees 70-80% per year(after fees 35-36%) last 18 years for great foreign capital (risk adjusted ,sharp ratio &) Medallion This fund is better as Buffet , Soros and all another famous name's Best wish ..... http://www.turtletrader.com/trader-simons.html The advantage scientists bring into the game is less their mathematical or computational skills than their ability to think scientifically. They are less likely to accept an apparent winning strategy that might be a mere statistical fluke. Jim Simons President Renaissance Technologies
I've seen www.rentec.com I have just started my PhD, I have my beloved girlfriend here and a child. And also they need outstanding programists and I think, that I'm merely good. But I plan to make consistently more than 500% in a year within 3 years, so the reward (150-250k USD a year) is not that important. Anyway I will think about trying to join them after I have my degree in nanoelectronics. It is more interesting than markets.
ssss, Your pieces are boring for me ;D , but here come something we both may like! http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=ipzR9bhei_o and http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=kFaq9kTlcaY best wishes
