If you notice 99% of the bad reviews about them have nothing to do with their trading practices but only the fact that they are not regulated by the NFA.

they are an offshore company located in belize primarily but have offices in russia, shanghai etc. i think their ok and have thought about opening an account for an EA I want I might try live. I'm a cms guy for manual trading.

It's up to you, they have traders funds in segregated accounts, which means unlike NFA regulated broker REFCO if they go bust your funds should be safe.

Hello cryten,
thank you very much for this vital information.I'm actually thinking of northfinance and marketiva.But since marketiva is still new(2yrs) in the market, i'm not too sure how long they'll be around.Is marketiva regulated by NFA?

I would check out stifxonline.com. They seem to be regulated by everybody and I have read some good reviews on babypips
Their website probably puts alot of people off though, not the best I have seen

It's a new contender for me lol

I have over ten clients with NF and I haven't had any negative feedback from them. Always found their customer service excellent.

One thing about stifx is, from reading on ForexFactory, they seem to have their employees plugging them on threads. And I see what you mean about their website(!)

Hi, are they using the live account instead of demo? How about cash retrieval from the account? user-friendly as well? Could someone with NF Live account comment on this?!

Cheers!
