Hi all, just wanted to mention that GFT cut off Canadian customers and now i’m looking for a broker that will take Canadian customers. Apparently because of Canadian regulations they can’t take Canadian customers anymore. Sooooooo, does anyone know anything about this? And has anyone found a broker that will take Canadians? Thanks in advance.

Hey Moneyman,
No you’re not the only one, and it’s not just GFT…FXCM did it too. I’ve since moved to MF Global Canada. Or apparently you can try Oanda.
Hey moneyman,
I was considering GFT and luckily (before the announcement of them not taking Canadian customers) I decided to go with IBFX. They’ve been fairly good in filling orders so far, no slippage; I’ve had one or two requotes which is okay by me. I know they don’t take residents of BC but if you’re in Ontario you’ll be okay.
Thanks for the replies. Ya i’m in Ontario. I’ll definitley look into those brokers. I never had one problem with GFT, not even a slippage. Always got my money. Oh well, **** happens i guess. I should have hooked up with that girl from Ney York lol.
Here’s a link to the Ontario Gov site regarding the change and how goofy our government is.
