    I try to ask my friend give me some help,and he told me that we trade with WTS Canada,not WTS US.And WTS US was bought by T3,not WTS Canada.

    let me try to upload my statements,is this works?
    The last month we trade with WTS were Oct 2014,and no trade on Nov.it's easy to find deposit and balance,no pay for the left deposit $40,000-$31,284.42=$8715.58

  4. Since the entity of WTS you dealt with was not a US company, it may be difficult to sue it. So you'd better low your expectations and be prepared to receive nothing back. There may be lawyers who are interested in your case. They normally won't charge you any fees unless they win the case. If they win the case, they typically charge one percentage (for example, 30%) of the proceeds. You can do some research to contact some good lawyers in this area. Good Luck!

    Just read your statementts, did WTS paid the 899000 usd profits for October and November 2014 as it seems they did ?
    I thought you were looking at 2million usd loss and didn't understand why it wouldn't be worth going through a lawyer, but if it's about 8715usd, then I understand better.
    If WTS paid large profits before that and you are arguing about 8k it must be something more to it (no idea who is right)
    Anway good luck with your new broker and i hope the conflict is only for 8k rather than 2mil?

    150usd for a wire fee is huge btw, enough for me to give up on this firm before starting working with them - not familiar with prop firms though.

    thanks for your help,we don't think lawyer is helpful in this case,actually my lawyer suggest me negotiate with them,he cant help me.I think that is why those off shore firm screw us one by one,and they still do business with other guys.

    Thx luisHK. In this case with WTS, we were lucky and only lost $8K. But we did lose over $200K in Title's event. 8K deposit is not an issue but it's about reputation and merit. Two reasons why I post here. One is to warn others especially if there are other traders who are still trading with WTS. The other is to find whether someone else suffered from the similar situation as me. Maybe we can figure out some methods to protect this kind of events from happening again.
