    Introducing Global Prime Forex

    Global Prime does the opposite. They immediately hand over all client funds leaving customers with a nice accounting entry in place of actual held cash. This means they can run a shop on the cheap. Anyone who finds this reassuring or even acceptable has rocks in their head. It looks like we are...

    Yes, that settled. It was in fact no worse than all the MT4 brokers seem to be. During my DD of Pepperstone I found they were just as bad/good. I have experienced the same with AxiTrader. Me too, but not as much as they'd like. :))

    Re: Discussion thread on Swissy slippage Well we now have a response to one issue. From SHF: Evidently Jem had no trouble coming up with an answer quickly enough on SHF. Looks like his plate is full again now though. :P

    Then I am shocked and saddened to hear it. On the other hand, if you mean "Wedding done." ...and marriage just begun, then congratulations and sincere best wishes. :) Now, as for your lovely wife, ummm, interesting snap... does she bite? ...only kidding, you make a handsome couple. My wife...

    Share a joke. Have a laugh or at least a grin :)

    I know most retail traders like to think of themselves as being traders, market makers, economists and technical analysts all rolled into one. This is not the case in the institutional world where each roll (sic) is very carefully defined: Spot dealer or market maker: You wear white socks with...

    Fundamentals (funnymentals) & Sentiment

    I agree. The culture hasn't changed at all, so nothing central or core to bank behaviour has changed. It never will.

    Fundamentals (funnymentals) & Sentiment

    It's official (again): Bankers are criminals While this is not normally thought of as "fundamentals" it really doesn't get more "funnymental" than this. Here are some excerpts from a newsletter by the insightful Larry Levin referring to the most recent fines imposed on some banks for their...

    Wouldn't both of these brokers have produced the same result? Data distribution is slightly different but the ranges look to be about the same, as best I can make out from the image. So if the stop was where the arrow points, both would have had your stop. Or maybe I'm missing something, I'm...

    Re: WARNING ::Re: Introducing Global Prime Forex Hi Jeremy, I understand. ;D I have no problem complimenting Jeremy the person. You are straight-talking and polite. However, I have big problems with GP's structure and handling of clients' funds and the purpose of Part 1 is just as it...

    AM are wholesale providers. HNW individuals can of course be accommodated, but I would think they'd be a small proportion of the client base. I expect that since the clients' accounts are individually segregated (a minimum standard in my view, that I hope to see become mandated eventually) the...

    Here is another approach to handling clients' funds. Note that these too completely blow GP out of the game. Source: http://au.saxomarkets.com/tocm
