asgard2 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi, these guys look great but I am not really so sure. The good things No dealing desk They answer emails promptly They offer fixed 1 pip spreads on major pairs (except during the news) They are very easy to open a real account with They take paypal They offer 500:1 leverage. Accounts are insured. Scalping is allowed on a per transaction fee. Ok.. this all seems great so I go ahead and download the demo Cannot change the leverage to 500:1 so backtesting and forward testing is out if that is what your EA needs to work. This apparently cannot be changed. Ok.. so I open a real account (super easy) and ask for the leverage to be changed to 500:1 so I can at least backtest my EA. However they will not change the leverage to 500:1 unless you deposit 5000 dollars in the account. I have no guarantee that I can get my money out easily until I try but since I cannot even backtest with my ea, why would I put the money in the first place. Unless someone here has used this broker and are happy with them, then I think I will give them a miss. Something doesn't seem right! Am I too cautious? Please let me know if you have used them and what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cbalta Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Re: InvestTechFX--AnyGood? if you are using expert, stay away from there.. an order execution will take at least 15 seconds. if you are maual trader, and not trading frequently (1-2 trade per day), it may be count as a meaningfull broker. if you are plannig scalping, stay away. 1 pip is just screen show.

alaki Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Re: InvestTechFX--AnyGood? I have live account with them. Spread is very good, however, order execution takes almost 10 seconds. I have to say I am happy with them and I am getting a lot of trades. Note that they charge commission for scalping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiner Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Stay away!!!!!!! They are InvesttechFX. Charge 10$ for every lot traded, not only for scalpers. Stop loss and Take Profit must be 10 to 40 pips ( depends on what currency you trade) away from the current price! Order delays up to 12 seconds. It is extremely difficult to get your money back. Only after I complained by Canadian Financial authority, I got my money(10.000 $)back via PayPal what cost me about 6% ( incl. exchange fee ) They can not send it via wire, because they do not have a bank account in Canada. Your money is anywhere in the world. Read FPA: http://www.forexpeacearmy.com/public/review/www.investtechfx.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemie262 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I use this broker now for a year. I have also accounts with Alpari UK, Forex.com and Prime4x. But this broker is by far the best for all EAs. The strange thing is, that it really takes about 10 seconds until a position is openend or closed. But I get the price exactly for the time the request was started. And the low spread creates many more trades per day than the other brokers with the same settings. The commission of 1 pip is neglegtable compared to the profit I get. This broker is also good for positions you keep for a longer period of time as the swap fees are very low. I also got good service either by the chat or telephone. They even called me back several times. As I have a vip account my money is segregated at a UK bank in case of bankruptcy of the broker.

Hi, I am with them as well. I was wondering if you have withdrawn money from your account. Does it go smoothly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwavas Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Trading with them or 1pipfix last year and made small profit which I tried to withdraw,after many emails and threats of litagation after a period of 2months they made a full refund,certainly not worth the worry,to me me it seems i was lucky to get my money back,emptor caveat,regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egreidi Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!!!!! This broker is not regulated, and do not always provide their clients with the requested withdrawals. I know many people who have accounts with this broker, and are struggling to get their money back. I also had an account with them, and I know that their conditions seem very appealing, but at the end of the day, if they do not provide you with your money, it makes no difference what conditions they provide you with.

Guest hftlh Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 You get requotes if the price is in your favour. You don't get requotes if the price is against you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaki Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 They are perfect for scalping, if you can get your money out. It has been one week since I requested withdrawing my money. So far, they are saying their clearance department is checking my account. They don't give any clear answer to when I will receive my money. With other brokers (like Tadawul) I coulc withdraw money in two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
