Re: SigmaForex

Hi maximberry-

I opened an account and wired $500 deposit by bringing a printout of the information they had sent me, to a bank- nothing showed up in the account though, and after two weeks I found out that the account they had said to deposit to had been closed. I got almost all my money back from my bank, minus $20.00 for this error. Despite repeated attempts on my part, I have never received this money back or any response besides 'it is an issue with our bank, and is out of our hands'. Definitely NOT recommended.

Re: FIFO Rule

I have been forced to remove all trading capital from NFA brokers and establish accounts elsewhere- now these members are uncompetitive with the rest of the world- oh well.

Re: The Collective FX

Other brokers with very narrow spreads often have very large differences which are apparent after establishing a live account and then comparing the live data action to the demo- the demo with this broker did so poorly for Grail2 EA (a scalper), I am now not sure if this would reflect the real world or if the data is utterly incompatible with this EA... the demo on other low spread brokers had great results, but did poorly live so far :-/

Re: Swiss Broker

I don't recommend Sigma- I printed out and gave Sigma's information to a bank for wiring a deposit, and the account number was shown as closed- my money was bounced back minus $20 for this error, with no explanation or remedy from Sigma...the application process was also confusing every step of the way.

Re: Automated forex grail

This was doing very well at EUM15 until July 10- had a -$1200 loss on a 5K demo at 1 lot size- it is trading positively since though...

Re: Is it safe to trade Forex for Living ?

I believe that Forex is the future- I had left the world of stocks because of the restrictions in the US markets. There are cheap penny stocks too, but they tend to stick to one's hand when trying to sell them, so currency seems to make the most sense to trade, especially if you wish to trade short as well as long. Stay out of the NFA member brokers though, they are the ones with the new restrictions...I have transferred all investment capital out of the US, which really is a waste, but that's the way they seem to want it. Good luck to you!
