Most Forex Brokers Are ....

Recommended Posts

I posted about my response on a different thread. I admit I became too defense too quick but it sickens me when traders from a different market feel the need to put down the market I make a living from and they do this out of ignorance not out of research..

 

When you said most brokers that is close to a absolute . Are you familar with the NPA not NFA but Forex peace army. they do honest reviews of all forex brokers take a look and you will find that most are ok to very good and a few are scams.

 

Anyhow i have my truce flag up now waving at you..

I don't know whether you are being deliberately obtuse or you did not read my posts properly. You attribute things to me that I have never said. I have tried not to make any judgement calls about anything or anyone. I certainly have not used any words like 'scum'. I will re-state things as plainly as I can.

 

Point 1)

1) There are two broad types of forex 'brokers'.

a) Brokers that allow transparent trading on an ECN.

b) Bookies (or Market Makers if you prefer) that take the other side of your bet/trade.

 

Point 2)

Many people that are critical of spot FX are talking about type b) (though not all there are straight up market makers).

 

Many people that are not critical of spot FX (or are even enthusiastic) are talking about type a)

 

Point 3)

Many of the disagreements about experience (which if you look back in this thread and actually read carefully what I said I have not offered my experience) come about because the naysayers are talking about two completely different set ups.

 

The irony is if you looked at what I had actually said rather than what you think I meant you might find that we agree. If you want to discuss what I have said fine, but the ad hominem attacks obscure your argument rather than add gravitas.

 

To make it simple (again) if you are saying that there are staright brokers out there that a retail trader can make money with trading spot FX, I agree. Not only that but depending how you trade you can do absolutely fine with both types. There now you have my opinion as well.

No harm no foul :D:D.

 

The important thing is to get people that have had bad experiences with market makers (or bookies if I am being provocative :)) to check out real ECN brokers. (Someone kindly posted a list earlier). Of course some people can not afford to trade with such brokers but that is a separate issue. BTW I am not saying that that all MM's are bad news but that is the 'wild west' end of the retail market.

 

Things are certainly improving for retail guys. Not so long ago there where hardly any brokers that offered transparent access (EFX & MBT where the first I am aware of). Until then Also with the plethora of MM type 'brokers' you are bound to get some decent ones though it does seem (only from anecdotal evidence) that they can slide after a while.

 

Mind you FX ECN's didn't exist for retail or commercial guys until about ten years ago, it was all RFQ (Request For Quotation) which meant phoning up the banks desk and asking for a price, impossible for a retail guy. I did have a CMC markets account before then but they actually made the market using CFD's.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
