They are 95% winning, we all must adjust or move on to regulated markets

I didnât see where Mark said he wanted to withdraw his $100 and that they wouldnât let him. Iâm assuming he left $100 there to keep the account open.
AMP futures offers MT5, among many other platforms. $100 minimum deposit. Bank transfers in-out. Smaller spreads. Indices move exactly the same etcâŚ

Youâre correct, the call was to put his mind at ease so that he would feel comfortable keeping his money in the account, you get it.
Almost everyone who can steadily trade profitably eventually makes this decision.
Some make it happily, enthusiastically and smoothly; others make it reluctantly, grudgingly and with resentment.
Realistically, when you appraise the facts objectively and independently (which, of course, many people never do), however you look at it, to continue trading CFDâs profitably, long-term, is not only ill-informed but just plain stupid - and anyone who can steadily trade profitably is really extremely unlikely to be stupid.
One thing you can rely on: almost nobody who switches from CFDâs to futures ever switches back.

Itâs no surprise that the pro-regulated and anti-offshore brokers flocking in to give their biased opinion on the matter

-I can only speak for myself. But for me, the decision was easy. Itâs basically the same thing, but without all of the problems and hassles that we deal with on the FX side.
I was tired of being treated like a pariah, dealing with one problem after another, day after day, and the lingering uncertainty etc⌠It is clear what is happening. But just like with trading, rather than fight and try to impose my own will onto the market, I will readjust and adapt.
Of course, there will be some here and on FF that will claim that they were right all along, and maybe even take credit for the mass of traders migrating over to futures, but the truth is, we were forced into this.
Most of the âbetter-than-thouâ, condescending remarks that we see are often coming from those that have no true understanding of what we actually face here in this country because they are not even from here.

- Not necessarily, but thatâs my assumption.
But honestlyâŚhow many didnât realize this was probably the setup for most offshore companies?
- Yes. I havenât ever had thousands in the account, and only used it to teach myself scalping. Itâs at a loss, no reason for him to call me. It was a waste of his time.

That is good to hear, but would you care to expand on how much is needed to get started without worrying about be margined called?

Without knowing your account size and the position you want to trade, itâs hard to answer. You can find margin call levels on the brokerâs website.

-Obviously, this is totally subjective and dependent on many factors. What I prefer may not be applicable to you. You can trade with 1k, probably less, especially if you do not hold trades overnight. Stick to micros, if you wish to keep things small.

LQDFX charges a 4.5% fee on withdrawals for some transactions.

What?! Is that even legal?! What makes people want to use âbrokersâ like that?!
Just bizarre, I agree.

Maybe you should ask yourself that question

Lol, have the standards among unregulated offshore âbrokersâ really now sunk so low that just the fact that you can withdraw your own money back from one (less 4.5%!!!) is a reason for using it?!
