Going offshore to escape the CFTC

I have a few friends who use them too. All pretty happy.
Where is this babypips list please? I have not seen it I don’t think.

Is this execution latency or strictly ticket confirmation latency?

Coinexx MT4 is now being promoted on their website and officially live… I made the switch over and I’m currently up and running MT4 live… :grinning:

My recent experience with FinPro has not been acceptable. The MT4 loses connection many times an hour and the screen freezes frequently. This morning on EURUSD I placed a Sell Stop at 1.15605 for 33 std lots and got filled at 1.15555 for a 5.0-pip slippage on a Sell Stop! This is unacceptable. Yesterday my MT4 Terminal Profit showed a >$2k usd profit and when I closed the order it was closed for a $271.84 LOSS! In checking this company out it appears that a Mr. Gurbir Singh owns; FinPro FX Limited, FinPro (UK) Ltd, TurnkeyFX (UK) Ltd. and FinPro Trading UK Ltd was dissolved 9/25/2018. Their initial customer service response is outstanding but I have (3) open Support Tickets that remain unresolved. Their website is out of date and has many errors. I was told that they have a server in the US but they do not. I’m still looking for a good offshore broker. I’ll edit this post with how my withdrawal goes.

use the sliding green bar on the left side of your screen, slide all the way up and you will see a list of brokers that accept u.s. traders

I use the NJ4X API runtime platform, driven by custom Java
code. NJ4X Terminal Manager creates “pools” of separate
processes running MT4 and MT5 terminal.exe copies. This
allows for parallel processing, due to multiple MT instances logged
into the same trading account, as well as accessing multiple
trading account sessions…

MetaTrader is a “synchronous platform” so an order operation has to
complete before it can execute the next order operation…

So, using NJ4X and multi-threading, we allocate serial requests
to the “next available” synchronous MT process while other
MT terminal processes are busy executing their operations.

This means that with 4 terminals in the pool, then we can close
4 positions in the same time it would take to close just 1 position,
since the 4 terminals all work concurrently, in parallel, but each
is synchronous, so you must wait, for the operation to complete.

I just measure the time from starting an order operation, until
I get the synchronous confirmation that it’s completed… elapsed time.

So, in answer to your question, if it’s a Market Order, then there
isn’t confirmation until the order execution is fully completed, which
includes message transit time, queue time, aggregation time,
execution time, and confirmation, etc…

[EDIT] I just realized that if you use MetaTrader, and maybe you
write EA’s ( “Expert Advisors” ) then you are accustomed to the
idea that the EA’s order operations are synchronous. The NJ4X
platform “maps” ALL of MQL operations into Java and C# operations
which the high level control code uses. So the MetaTrader terminals
do have EA’s inside of them, but they are not written by me; rather,
these EA’s are part of NJ4X runtime platform, which perform the
API mapping from the high level operations into the MQL
operations inside the terminal platform (running as a server process).
So my “EA” trading logic is written entirely in Java, using NJ4X API mappings.

Hugosway has really peaked my interest lately. Anyone here using them and have anything to say?

This is really bad news… I have not been focussing intensively on
FinProTrading, but have had no issues with the trading. I’ve just
had more focus on Coinexx right now and MT5 terminal mess, which
just got cleared up today.

I’d suggest you move to TurnkeyForex.com which will perhaps
give you the support you want, and will give you great technical
performance, at least in Forex which is my only interest…

Was this around 11:55 am today? If so, it was a fast market around that time and you tried to trade 3.3M in single ticket.

My order was entered exactly at 10:01:48.295 EDST and the EURUSD was not moving fast at that time. Do you think 33 std lots is too big for them? If they are truly an ECN then that should not be a problem.

Recently, five brokers have been suggested for vetting and possible addition to our List.

Thanks for your contributions.

Ok… that is very strange then, I’ve had zero problems with Finpro in the past. I swing some pretty big ticket sizes but they are always spit to 5 different brokers simultaneously. 3.3M would definitely cause slippage but not 5 pips @ 10am unless there was a market moving 10am US news report released causing liquidity to temporarily disappear.

Platform freezes with most brokers also usually happen exclusively around major news release times.

clint don’t add Grand Capital after doing my research i determain they are a SCAM im sorry i recommended them

On page 1 of our List, Coinexx has been moved from the Europe section to the Caribbean / Central America section, reflecting the recent change in Coinexx registration.

@HyperScalper – You’ve talked by phone to the guys at Coinexx. Can you share their U.K. phone number ? (so I can add it to their listing). Thanks.

Sorry, did not speak with them literally by phone… Chat and email.

GRAND CAPITAL

Hey, not so fast calling them a scam… We have so few brokers,
it’s worth taking a closer look. I chatted with Anastasia in their
support chat, and learned that they are U.S. friendly, and that
their “Standard” account has commish included in spread so
EUR/USD spread shows like 3.0 PIPs… But if you open an ECN Prime
account which requires a minimum of $500 then you get decent
pricing variable spread plus $5 round trip commish… Their MT4
servers are in western Russia.

So U.S. persons would be required to transfer funds through Bitcoin or
Ethereum she said, which I think is fine… On the face of it, although their “Standard” minimum $10
account has poor pricing and commission included in the spread, any
serious trader would use the ECN Prime and get reasonable pricing and
commish…

So who’s gonna sign up and dig deeper ? My impression is that it
would be a decent Forex broker for U.S. persons to use.

[EDIT]Transcript of our chat:
Me: What MT4 account has your best spread variable pricing plus commission? The Standard account I am looking at 44xxx15 has EUR/USD spread of 3.0 pips, when most brokerages have 0.3 pips spread…
Anastasia M.:
Hello!
Spread is floating , data for past week for different account types can be found here - grandcapital.net/trading/contr… [truncated]
Me: Yes, but if I see 3.0 pips when another brokerage sees 0.3 pips… that is truly terrible…
Anastasia M.: Well , you have the right to choose , you can take no deposit bonus for real account $25 bonus - Grand Capital to test our services
Me: Thank you. That pricing would not work at all for me… The ECN Prime does show more reasonable pricing
What are the conditions to open an ECN Prime account type?
Anastasia M.: Min deposit for ECN Prime is $500
Me: That is a variable spread plus commission? What is the standard commission, please?
Anastasia M.: standard doesn’t have comission
Me: For the Standard, commission is included in the spread.
Anastasia M.: Right
Me: So for the ECN Prime account, what is commish
Anastasia M.: $5
Me: OK, thanks.
Anastasia M.: fixed
Me: Are you able to allow U.S. persons to set up an ECN Prime account with no issues?
Anastasia M.: You’re welcome , feel free to contact when you have questions
US residents can deposit and withdraw with cryptocurrency only
Me: That is perfectly fine with me, personally…
Where are your MT4 trading servers located? I have servers in Amsterdam and Miami, FL
Anastasia M.: I can’t give you information about server location , sorry
Me: OK, I am only asking because I need my servers to be as close as possible to the MT4 servers
Anastasia M.: Ours in East Russia
sorry I ment west
Me: OK, that is fine ! So if I decided to fund a test at $500 via BTC then I could open an ECN Prime account and get good pricing?
Anastasia M.: you need to open ECN prime , then deposit to that account with BTC , then contact support Private Office — Sign in and inform about your deposit ( with txhas )
Me: OK, thanks for the information. Have a good one ! BYE

Yes, I use them. Good spreads, high leverage and pleasingly very good and quick customer support too.

after doing my due diligence i stand by my words GRAND CAPITAL is a SCAM broker. i would advise everyone to stay clear of them. that’s just my point of view.

What was the major concern you discovered about Grand Capital?

hyperscalper

we all have our way of doing our research on a broker you might start with forexpeacearmy but can’t let that cloud your judgement on a broker so you dig deeper and get a general consensus of what the public is saying and base on what i hearing and seeing i will never put money with that broker, but don’t let my view cloud your judgement do your due diligence and come to your own conclusion.
