    Talking about Regulation

    Big play by many brokers about the jurisdictions / countries where they are regulated. Some will obviously be better than others, but it's easy to hide regulatory status behind "off the shelf" kind of places. Some of the remaining off-shore zones spring to mind here. Places like Lichtenstein...

    Swiss Dealing

    Seems like an interesting idea. Not 100% convinced but the proof as they say is in the pudding. Some clear guidelines regarding deposits and future withdrawals would be nice. Would be nice. Thanks

    Can anyone recommend eToro?

    I don't think posting about what a broker pay their affiliates has anything to do with how good a broker they are. The OP wanted recommendations based on trader's experiences with a particular broker - not their affiliate payments.

    What is the best forex trading strategy?

    Difficult to say which is the best trading strategy to follow. A lot will depend on account size, appetite for risk, trading frequency, etc. Financial position also comes into it. For somebody like Bill Gates for example, losing 10K trading forex is less than peanuts. For me, losing 10K would...

    What is forex?

    I suppose you could look at Forex as a kind of gambling. You're putting your money on a possible outcome and hope to collect in the end. Luck does play a part, but like some games of chance, skill plays a very big part as well. Sit down at a roulette wheel and skill has little to do with the...

    Automated Forex Robots

    What make a nice change from the norm would be developers to update their robots when market conditions change. Robots, like anything based on code, will only do what they are programmed to do.

    Sound so crazy to deposit 20k$

    How about people who had accounts with Barings Bank. One of the oldest banks in the world and they went bust. The difference with established banks / brokers and scam bank / brokers lies in the INTENT. Established companies can go bust as well, but their INTENT is not to scam but to provide...

    Do you believe in Forex Robots?

    I'll go with the logic a lot of members have already posted on this thread. If you had a sure-fire winner robot, would you sell it? I know I wouldn't and if I did decide I was going to commercialize it outside of my own trading, it wouldn't be for $97 a copy. If I had a truly effective...
