I wanted to share something else with you guys. I also have an AssetsFX account which I am still able to use but don’t because I tried some risky things and ended up blowing up the balance. Since Profi and Traders Way have been so reliable, I’ve stuck with those two. Nevertheless, I found this interesting. This is copied straight from the email I received with no modifications except for URL’s because I can’t post those as a new member.

Dear AssetsFx Client,
We are upgrading our system and changing our servers. For you this will mean more symbols to trade including CFD’s.
This process will require that you activate a new account on our new system.
Please read carefully and follow the instructions below as they have been updated since our previous email. If you account has already been transferred, you can ignore this:
-
All open trades in your account need to be closed by 5/27/2016.
-
After having closed all trades, please go to assetsfx/Account/Open-Live-Account and fill out the form. Submit the form and you will receive an activation link in email. Once confirmed, you will receive a user name and password to our new Client Area and in a separate email your new account credentials. Since we already have your documentation, you don’t need to upload verification documents.
-
Once we see that you have opened the new account, we will transfer your funds to your new trading account as soon as possible. If you want to expedite the funds transfer, please email to accounts@assetsfx
-
Login to you current trading account and take All History from it as soon as possible.
-
All open trades will be closed by us on Friday May 27th at 3pm ET.
-
Our new MT4 can be downloaded from download.mql5/cdn/web/7389/mt4/assetsfx4setup
Thank you,
AssetsFx Trading Team

Which was then followed up with this email less than an hour later.

Dear AssetsFx Client,
If your country is not listed in the country selections at assetsfx/Account/Open-Live-Account(for example USA), please choose Australia as the country.
Thank you,

Seems a little fishy to me. I gotta a kick out of it so I thought I’d share.
