Can we trust forex Brokers?

[nw24x]

Hi everybody!

Suppose one becomes extremely successfull trading currencies and lets say he becomes a millionaire. How will the broker react? Will the trader come in the broker' s radar, and the broker start manipulating the trading platform against the trader. Will the trader be able to withdraw large amount of money?
Our loss is their gain so how can we trust them?

or they could maybe double the position when they hedge

They'll start long before you get to a million. Google virtual dealer plugin or fxcm fine.

Slippage is an issue if you are an active trader. But if you are a position trader it should not be an issue. I guess I have to found out myself, have not reached that stage yet.

It's not just slippage, you are trading against the broker in most cases, they're not going to let you take a million off them.

Just be careful when you pick on broker to trade. For some of them are not honest broker. Some might be scam, and some are honest. Check on the forums about their profile and business. The good broker is the broker that can answer the negative comments either from their traders or non.

Nowadays there are many Brokers and the concept of forex trading is gaining popularity. There are scam brokers that are hurting many people. I am happy with my current Broker as they are "Registered Company in New Zealand". We just have to make a little research about the origin of a Broker and then we can trust them.

there is a risk in anything, even in good well known brokers, but no risk no gain i say, but on a positive note, i always tell my self that no matter my personal investment, i think the money anybroker has is quite bigger, like even if i have a 5 digit account there are brokers that deal with 6-8 digit figures, but its a traders job to be wise in choosing his broker, given that there are a lot of scams and ver very bad brokers out there no matter how well known they may seem, so play your trades safe, and get your earnings and ROI as soon as it comes to you

The market maker brokers won't allow you to get to that level.
In this day, these people will either have a person that will profile the trader
or a computer (algo) that tracking you and automatic profiling you.
Very hard to make the money to a high level. They say when you begin to put in a certain amount per order size then you showing on the radar.
A lot of brokers will slip the price even bigger amounts during news, so if example, price on EURUSD drops by 100 pips then their system price will dropped by 200 (so more stops hit so more people losing money).
I speak from experience

Risk is involve everywhere. Yes, we can trust forex brokers. If you have good knowledge, then it is easier to earn money.

Hello,

Not necessarily. Even with good knowledge you can lose big. WIth the brokers, it depends on what type of client you are.
If you put in $250,000 and trading 2 Million per clip size, then chance your trade not B-booked. The broker may not take the other side because risk high so will then A-book (send to either bank or another broker).
This way the broker himself cannot slip or manipulating you.

Otherwise more than three-quaters of people lose.

being a "Registered Company in New Zealand" will not save anyones behind. any 2bit worthless shell entity can show up in new zealand and be registered as an overseas company.

Firstly, currency trading is extremely difficult. Way harder than trading commodities, indices, individual stocks etc... So it's unlikely that you will become a millionaire doing it but somebody does so lets suppose it's you. Will your broker be happy?

That depends upon what type of FX Broker it is. If it is a market maker then your broker might not like it at all. Market makers are the counter party to their client's trades although they may try and hedge your trades in the market or against the positions of other clients who are doing the opposite and in which case they probably won't be to bothered. But if they're trading against you and you're winning (which retail FX traders rarely do) then they're not going to like it!

An ECN broker won't care if you win or lose through. They just provide the platform for everyone to trade against each other and take a commission regardless.

For beginners there is another option. An STP broker. An STP broker that passes all it's clients trades directly to a liquidity provider and therefore wants to see it's customers do well so that they carry one trading is a good option. But seriously, stay away from the bucket shops...

Quite, just like a casino being licensed in the UK won't stop them emptying your pockets and kicking you out the door at the end of the night. All the regulations means is your funds are safe providing you don't lose them yourself, which most traders unfortunately do. And the few really good traders end up with everyone elses money.

In this case you really have no option but to trust your broker. \When your account grows past 250K be sure to have a VPS service to make sure that you can always get the best prices and avoid brokers that don't keep their end of the deal.

Its just like asking am thirsty shall i drink this pond water now or not. :?

We are normal trader and among brokers, I think at least we still have some good brokers to trade. I know any brokers also have negative and positive feedbacks but nothing is perfect all over the world. We have to face it and handle it, that means we can ask CS for the problems like slippage, delay withdrawal,...

To me, I still believe in some regulated brokers like FXPRO, Hotforex or FXCM,...

 

[bigboyfx]

Sure, we can trust some brokers. Some of these brokers really mean business and they'll not jeopardize their business ambition by playing games with traders. No system is perfect, even robots do malfunction. Sometimes, negative and positive reviews are not genuine, so we can't judge by these. I'll rather avoid a platform with lots of slippages and requotes.

We can not become a millionaire without high investment .With billions of capital we can try for the risk that will make profit of millions. I think good traders are trusted .They are working in market for a long time . There are scam brokers we should keep eye on to get dealing with any regulated and trusted broker.
