swordfish Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 The thread title is my question. I have exhausted my search for an ECN broker, with tight spreads, and outside the US who will take US customers, except Hotforex. The reason is to get 200:1 or better leverage. Any suggestions?

bedrockbrett Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 FinFX I think may do. Why don't you like hotforex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 FinFX I think may do. Why don't you like hotforex? Good question. Why everyone else's not taking US customers, but not Hotforex? I am just afraid that my money will end up in Somali pirates' hands. (I am kidding here.) Is Hotforex for real? tomislav 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conglo Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 This outfit looks like an offshore bucket shop. Look over their website carefully, there are misspellings and poor grammar all over the place. They are all too eager to help you establish a protected offshore account and their partner banks are all in Bumf*ck. Their FAQ page does not exist. This reeks of "RUN AWAY!" HI sword.

ninjatrader Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Conglo, You are right it looks cheesy as hell. Check out https://www.finfx.fi/ they look legit. At least with the opinions we have in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Finfx does not take US customers. EmpireGlobalFx only takes corporate accounts, not personal accounts.  By the way, is there a tool to measure the number of ticks per minute the broker is sending? I am trying HotForex, but have seen missing candles as compared to other brokers.    Conglo, You are right it looks cheesy as hell. Check out https://www.finfx.fi/ they look legit.

bedrockbrett Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hi there. About Hot Forex watch out about there Bonus for you will not get it back. This is tricky . But If you look at the terms on your choice that you decide to get you can be fooled (I screwed up) that you have a free ride. This is not true! That said Hotforex is Very good. I put in a$1000 on debt card (cost $8.00) and withdrawal all that I had left.(no charge) $604 I thought I had a 300 dollar bonus and was only down about a $100 bucks. You learn. But HF was very good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) benloe, Thank you for the correction. My mistake. With ECN the maximum leverage is 1:100 and with Normal and Micro accounts 1:200. That is not as good as what Hotforex is offering. Just got this from there chat. Our company representative will be with you in a moment.

bedrockbrett Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I liked Hot Forex But don't misunderstand what the bonuses are good for. I did and it was my fault. (it cost me) Next time I will not use the bonuses in my equations and I wont have to worry about it.

fx4_ever Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Thanks, Guys! I have been demo Hot Forex and I like it on demo side. That is why I asked if anyone had experience with them. FinFX, I haven't try demo yet. I heard good things about them as well. Gees, All these new rules complicated for US retail fx traders. Maybe should buy small condo @ Belize and trade from there.

Yeah, Hot Forex is too easy to open an account. It's too weird. I have an account with CitiFX and they have me go through so many paperwork. They won't open an account until wet signature is received. Because they are under the banking regulation. Â HotForex's data center is in Holland, Amsterdam.

But for US clients we don't have much of a choice if you want to be free (funny isn't it. land of the free) I think a big bank Switzerland still will take US clients. h@@p://www.dukascopy.c0m/ Â Been a wail since I checked them out..

HotForex, I think that Bonus thing mess up everyone. You have to trade certain number of trade in order to WD.. something like that. I felt their policy is too easy. No application to open an account. Just your name and email address is pretty much all you need to open an account. Too easy and this is weird to me. I guess I am not that spoiled yet. :P Edited October 21, 2011 by fx4_ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikram Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Well, I have contact with Hotforex support but they said they are not taking USA customers anymore. So Simply answer is Hotforex does not accept US customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
