How can I report tax as there is no trade record in my coinexx account.

Hugo’s Way (HugoFX): I never really looked at these folks to seriously, until today. Their conditions don’t sound bad. Has a verdict been handed down here regarding this broker or does anyone here have any experience with this broker? Thanks!

NO Usa clients accepted…

when you do a wire transfer at Hugo’s Way your sending your money to some comapany and bank of america in florida, they playing a huge game with U.S. regulators

thanks i see that now

i got coinexx as my third broker but thinking about splitting my coinexx funds with LMFX and LQDFX and COINEXX of course. coinexx is great but they make me uneasy

i don’t know if their system malfunction or not coinexx still haven’t answer my question as to why my leverage drop down to 300:1 it’s been damn near 7 days now so i just open another account last thursday leverage back up to 500:1, im surprise they wasn’t ready for the influx of traders with the amount of pr they got.

Your only duty is to share your beliefs and concerns with your friends and family and hopefully impact their decision at the ballot box. We are facing an uphill battle. Half of the current generation think Communism isn’t a bad idea. insert Twilight Zone melody

Perhaps America’s best chance for survival will be found among the immigrants from former/current Socialist countries. We need to get their stories out there. They know that Socialists like Sanders and AOC will bring nothing but destruction onto our great nation.

You can change your leverage settings under account operations.

It’s been said they are run by a rather unsavory individual who had problems under a previous brokerage firm named JAFX.

They should never be ahead of Coinexx, Turnkey, FXChoice, and TradersWay. Probably not even FXBrew.

you don’t get it, my leverage drop to 300:1 on the platform but in the back office it’s telling me i have 500:1 and when i try using the 500:1 leverage changer it tells me pick another leverage because the system think i already have 500:1 leverage

i haven’t found anybody using fxbrew what’s your experience i can’t find no info on that broker

now we must use email to request withdrawal from coinexx until they get their problem fix

stay away! if you search through this thread or FPA, you’ll find out more about them. they are basically JAFX’s “us client accepting arm” after cftc sued jafx for taking US clients, they set up this broker. We’ve had a vote in the past for adding them to the list, but most of the members voted against them.

Has anybody on here ever taken a deposit bonus? I know they are usually discouraged, especially with sports gambling operations which normally lock up your original deposit; but it seems that offers from brokers like Turnkey merely amount to a leverage increase that wont encumber your original funds. Now, it may take a year to have the bonus fully “vest”, and they reserve the right to just yank it for no reason whatsoever, but why not accept it if there’s no “catch”?

Hello Wm,

It can be really tricky, and potentially dangerous, for non-tax-professionals to dispense tax advice, especially on a forum accessible to the whole world – which explains why people on this thread haven’t rushed to offer the advice you are seeking.

That being said, there are some good sources of basic tax advice for traders on the internet, and I will point you to one that I believe will get you started in the right direction.

Investopedia - Forex Taxation Basics — offers a generic approach to reporting forex profits
on U.S. tax returns.

Skip the first half of this article – with only 14 days until the tax-filing deadline, you don’t have time to mess around with decisions regarding Section 988 versus Section 1256 of the IRS code.

At least for this year, consider yourself to be a “Section 988 trader”, and treat your forex profits as ordinary income.

Go directly to the second half of this article, where you will find the following basic plan, which you can use this year –



Keeping Track

You can rely on your brokerage statements, but a more accurate and tax-friendly way of keeping track of profit and loss is through your performance record.

This is an IRS-approved formula for record keeping:

  • Subtract your beginning assets from your end assets (net)
  • Subtract cash deposits (to your accounts) and add withdrawals (from your accounts)
  • Subtract income from interest and add interest paid
  • Add in other trading expenses

The performance record formula will give you a more accurate depiction of your profit/loss ratio and will make year-end filing easier for you and your accountant.



You can follow this basic plan on your own, without consulting a tax accountant. After this year’s tax obligations are satisfied – and before next year’s tax deadline approaches – you’ll have plenty of time to investigate that 988/1256 decision, or to consider paying a tax professional, if those are issues that interest you.

Ohhh. I just realized the trick.

"In case, the total losses incurred by the trader/client reach 90% of initial deposit, his/her position will be squared off or in other words, trader’s position will be squared off at 10% initial equity.

A client may not receive any notification of the margin call if his account starts losing the bonus amount before his actual equity falls below 70% of used margin."

So let’s say you were going to deposit 10k then accept a 10k bonus. Let’s also say that you are a super careful trader and only risk 1% per trade. Well, if you calculate your risk percentage on the total amount of the account - 20k, then you will actually be risking 2% per trade (you only own 10k of the 20k account) which will double your expected drawdown. So let’s say you’re down 4k on your account; you say to yourself, no big deal, I’m only down 20%. No you’re not! You’re actually down 40% because it’s based on your original deposit. Margin calls and total account collapse are right around the corner and you never saw it coming. Am I interpreting this correctly?

Hi, clint,
Thanks for your information.It is exactly what I need.
