Comparing the world's major foreign exchange trading platform

I personally feel that as long as the regulation by the U.S. or UK companies can do, not always the safety of the company, only relative. As we did not control the platform should be careful, once you make a profit if you after a few hundred thousand dollars back nothing, you earn your withdrawals in trouble, some liar, he is not withdrawal your earnings to you withdrawals, you find he has called you customer service, etc., are being processed, wait until the flowers are grateful, how can you do? Subject to regular monitoring of the company as long as you a letter of complaint made in the past that the company's fine at least tens of thousands of dollars, they need to send money to your country an honest account. The most stringent regulatory official UK FSA, the U.S. company is best to accept both the CFTC and NFA regulation (FSA and other regulatory bodies like China Securities Regulatory Commission, they are government departments, companies of all formal third-party publicly available authoritative information, we do not be lazy, be sure to personally check out the Internet to monitor the input number, even if not read have a look under the supervision of the country's official there is no such company).
Common foreign exchange trading call MM (market maker), are hedge (gamble), which means you lose money on foreign exchange business to make money, NFA is clearly regulated by the NFA requires all foreign suppliers must clearly inform the customer, the customer the opponent is the foreign exchange trading, foreign exchange trading may make customer transactions in a disadvantageous situation. In order to not guilty, there is not an example, some MM IB themselves do not understand the platform, ran pull customers, said the platform is not gambling, it is safe, just 46 $ #% @! So do not hedge the company is ECN platforms, these platforms is to receive commission, profit and loss that the customer does not matter with foreign exchange trading, foreign exchange business is making the package, the commission is earned, more famous is the U.S. IB (Interactive Brokers) company, regulated by the NFA , 0-2 straight set point of the currency
Difference is not fixed, 0.2-point difference per transaction commission, such as short selling euros and then you open it you receive a total commission of 0.4 point difference. However, to $ 10,000 account.
 
    Here's some examples of relatively safe company for your reference:
1. FXSOL that many people are familiar with, IFX and FXSOL merged, GTS platform, stable, the data can do with it. Spread a little higher, 3-5 points difference, especially Sterling dollars to five-point difference, generally higher than other platforms.
2. ODL MT4 platform, is the world's traders in the broadest range of platforms, spreads are reasonable, the recent platform update, occasionally stopping trade. However, because it has a multi-monitor, and there is investor protection plan, after all, is many years old with brand-largest securities firm, so in general funds is still very safe.
3. MG Financial Group. Non-MT4 platform, this year the company a long time, is not known, but never found someone say bad things about him, NFA regulation, MT4 platform, spreads higher than the average. The upper part of foreigners to its reputation.
4. OANDA. Non-MT4 platform is not just foreigners, even the country there are a lot of people know that large companies are very popular, NFA regulation. Is Canada's. Account funds are not restricted, the minimum can trade 0.00001 hands.
5 IB's ECN platform, 1 million dollars to open an account, JAVA technology, leverage only 50 times. NFA regulation. World's richest man is Warren Buffett, the company is the second opening of the rich, very powerful, high safety factor, you can also do the U.S. stock, futures, registered capital of billions of dollars.
6. NBG foreign exchange, regular companies. NBG Group is backed financial group, the United Kingdom in 2000 through the new financial law, the establishment of official regulatory bodies FSA, NBG made in 2001, authorized and regulated by the FSA, and reliable. Platform and IB, just as JAVA technology.
7. Saxo Bank non-MT4 platform, may be a long time to do foreign people will know that this is a great background in banking, foreigners it is also good word of mouth, spread generally.
8. Forex.com GAIN, NFA regulated company, has been the rage in China, but last summer due to some problems to light, now pulled out of China.
9. Alpari MT4 platform, regular companies, low spread, Russian companies, and now U.S. regulators to get the UK, unfortunately, or MT4 platform. Currently some Chinese agents recommended Alpari, a friend recommended more vigilant. Because:
a, Alpari has no real opening up of China, the real Alpari's home sites are not available in Chinese.
b, China Alpari trick to claim the customer agreement expressly provides separate funds, only that one. But in fact, this is the basic regulatory requirements of the company, supervised the company's customer agreement, there will be this one. If China's alpari is a regular company, how could lie everywhere.
c, claimed for $ 50,000 to more customers, provide personal accounts of insurance funds; everyone knows, with foreign exchange trading account is a collective account, how could apply to have personal finance insurance, is simply unnecessary, the result is trying to hide something.
d, Alpari China to accept clients' funds bank account name, and the FSA provided
Company name is not exactly the same, plus what client, such as the United Kingdom account name is Alpari LTD Client. They can explain that this client is the client, but do not forget, the formal name of the bank accounts of companies with FSA official website of the company name, a letter can not be bad, must be Alpari UK LTD, which is the difference between true and false of the company The most critical.
10. CMS, the U.S. NFA monitoring, regular companies. CMS platform in Europe and America only 2 points difference, of course, some use individual currencies for propaganda purposes, and other currencies against the low point of difference is not
11. Easyforex The company now by NFA, FSA, Australia's third-party monitoring, regular companies. It is traded on the page, platform stability is not clear, have not seen anyone Paizhuan.
12.FXCM regular company, NFA regulation, reputation is not good, the platform dropped frequently, and later updated once a platform, and then later do a background-free platform, spreads are not fixed, click on the deal. I once helped a friend do the first one is to do BB (pounds, OO is the euro), do go in to see 10-point difference, then I read the news, and no data, but fluctuations in some severe, even to expand to 10 points difference I make dozens of single-point that was not dare, and had later did not intend to use the FXCM platform, out of the background-free platform for the spread turned out to be an excuse to expand. Now it launched the MT4 platform, but I was not interested in playing. Did not spread to any advantage. Then I might as well find another point of difference between supervised and lower than its platform, although the well does not have to care about foreign exchange spreads, but the same conditions, why I make my money in vain by others earn. Profits to the customer as the customer is really God. What service
Well services are able to earn more money in order to find an excuse not to do customer service, are also good for me to do massage ah. Ha ha ha ha. December 28, I found what FXCM has staged a low platform for the poor, out today, looked under the new FXCM Micro account that what is on the Web page publicity BB2.5 spread, the original is a liar. Others engaged in ECN platform is to reduce the spread profits to customers, although this garbage company regulated by the formal, but do ECN platform is to raise the point of difference, contempt. Maybe 10 years FXCM will be changed, but my current thinking is that my life would not use the FXCM platform.
In fact, there are many large U.S. companies, it is estimated foreign exchange market is not open to China, they did not enter China, according to WTO regulations, China will sooner or later to fully open its financial markets, it seems that in 2010, when we have more to choose Perhaps they will use the price war spreads are competing to drop down to a single time as long as you will fry all the world to earn a lot of ah. With a 55 on average, so when it has a special angle along its direction. Loss should not make a run, winning by a general to seek profits, but people are greed, can not grasp the point of playing time it would take energy for practice. Can only do less than 4 point spread currency, it is best to do 2 points difference between the euro, to be absolutely stable platform.
Everyone needs to make some more attention following the money market trading platform:
Hong Kong companies can not do, the Hong Kong foreign exchange margin formal company no more than 20 times the leverage, leverage what King and Hunter 20 times more than enough, that is illegal, and yet they are still in business, is not visible to Hong Kong's regulatory were assured. I
Have made Hong Kong's agent friend, who clearly mainland Hong Kong companies are doing foreign exchange loss of many, they would rather risk violation of the provisions also make mainland people's money. But also that what King Hao-day company, poor inventory all straight 5-point difference to even the euro is 5 points difference, take the customer when the pig killing, bad conscience greatly.
U.S. Department of containing the NFA in 2007 to accept supervision, no complaint of a class of events, but have a question: Why is the company's remittance income people are not FOREX SIGNS INC but Private Scandinavian Sparkasse and Hotspot FXR? ? ? But then, through understanding, the Department of Sheng's original foreign exchange in the NFA is a qualified consulting company, there is no foreign exchange business qualification. Therefore, money is not safe. http://www.abbfx.com/english/ it took someone else's company is said to own NFA control number, you just use it to provide a check number to NFA's name is different, but on the NFA Headquartered in Chicago, this site is Los Angeles, is dedicated deceive the Chinese people company. Because the site only in English and Chinese, English-speaking people are not fool to cheat on the cheat do not speak English, really cruel trick.
MFIPFX NFA regulation, MT4 platform, but yet the function of deleted trailing stop, trailing stop for some people is very useful, the platform deliberately deleted, basically is to let traders in a more adverse conditions to do business under, and it is 20 points within this platform are not allowed to customers for lodging, trading conditions are very harsh, they lose more customers, it earned more.

But it's fairly clean, ODL SECURITIES UK, in 2001, there has been no regulatory problems. Adjusted net capital of 693 million (data as of date December 31, 2007) Non-some people boast of more than 800 million. (Add gossip, recently heard a group of customers do not give out ODL payment on the grounds that the customer base to pull the scalp strategy, the two sides became quite Xinjiang, but this no wonder ODL, the so-called pull the scalp, the delay is to use platform to offer to lock the price, operating time is very short, earn a few points on the open leave. recurrent funding account scalp traders tend to be blocked, such as FXCM FXCM pull the scalp, then caught an estimated withdrawal of capital did not of which has gradually developed into a norm. There is a saying, if you dial the scalp, God may not redeem your money back.)
I Trade FX (my chao) in 2006 was regulated by the NFA, the NFA homepage promotion funds on top of serious problems, 5,6 small traders, he ranked No. 2 on the number of funds it?

IKON ASIA any monitoring, but the platform is always spread before the outbreak of the real market will expand, not suitable for short-term people, as platform stability, MT4 platform do not expect it to be very stable. Added: China's www.ikonfx.com, not formal. It claimed to be the U.S. company, but the site IP is in Hong Kong; claimed by the nfa regulated by the New Zealand Securities Regulatory Commission said inside the approval and supervision; and language seem to provide a lot of sites, but real content, only the English and Chinese. It not only China's business!
FEX Fred: The company can not find the official website of Chinese but also by Germany's regulator, the regulator BaFin was established in May 2002. And operating costs on the sources of contributions, of course, that would not affect its regulatory fairness. But the agency's query mechanism is not perfect not detailed query FEX Fred's detailed regulatory information. So the company can not make a safety evaluation.
MIG Investments (MIGFX): Although the company introduced the Chinese company's home page by many regulatory regime, but not a regulatory body can give a complete system, including complaints, capital, shareholders and other information query methods, so
Unable to evaluate the authenticity of the dealers, asset firmness, fairness to customers operations of the evaluation, it is not recommended to choose.
FXDD: how to speak the company, the third wave to the home page of the regulation did not find out FXDD account information of a class, and FXDD is a typical agency, the Friends often reflect a serious slippage. FXDD website just put a little strict regulatory region, the company certainly suffer severe punishment! Fraudulent customer behavior typical of publicity!

PLAY who rent who really want to know, why are all looking for MT4 account, do not know the background of cheating MT4 highest performance? (Of course, we recognize the technical level in MT4 chart performance is indeed very good, but too many people to use his bad).
Please stay away from these questionable trading platform:
Swiss companies are claiming to be regulated by the Swiss, but can not be verified, if you find a flaw in Switzerland Swiss put forward a black company, also claimed by Swiss regulators can only say that the odds of your money, so financial security in Switzerland The companies will not consider, is now home to put forward a 1 point difference between the Swiss company a platform to entice people, fleece, will not have such a good thing, this is just the bait, it spreads the Anglo-Japanese, Organon, Europe Australia all 3 points difference, you can earn, but you make a withdrawal is not for you, how can you like.

TOKYO FUTURE BANK (Vision Bank). Said that Japanese companies can not be given regulatory inquiries.
    GCI Financial Ltd (GCI financial) that is based in Belize, British Virgin Islands is registered!, Subject to local regulatory protection of the law, are simply not find the regulated businesses. The bankruptcy of its propaganda shown with customer funds back I can not see. Liabilities greater than assets will severely bankruptcy, What can be shown that the return? And what home to what is guaranteed by the certificate of insurance. Sorry, that what I do not know what's there, and the insurance certificate, only a handwritten signature printed on the top, let alone what a seal (do not get the seal, and get a do not know, it can not find the true false).
GFX Financial Holdings (GFX Financial Group) promoted by the company under British control and to monitor numbers, but regulators in the UK can not check to
The company any information! Use the MT4 platform.
 
     FX Group (forex place) Japanese dealers, can not query monitor information! Using the MT4 platform (with the top of the GFX Finance Corporation, the site uses the same framework code, use the same layout, do not have direct contact).
 
     ELM England international ELM Enlen Interna (UK), said the company propaganda on the home page as well as by the NFA and CFTC FSA regulation, but only gives the number of FSA regulation. NFA and the CFTC did not, because FSA can not query the detailed amount of money traders and management system, it is not possible for the FSA to monitor the safety evaluation of dealers.
ARA Markets Ltd. The home page publicity in the U.S. Registration No. 4485123 regulation do not know what the regulators are in the NFA and the CFTC can not query any information about the company with other investors, said customer service and account ("say", does not directly show description page), the company whose NFA number is 0380516, but according to NFA records the registration number belongs to ARA TRADING INC (2 one company other than at the beginning different than ARA) and ARA TRADING INC in 2007, only to be supervised; promotion of its home page, "Our shareholders and partners in the United States National Futures Association (NFA) registered" it is clear that indirect tell you his own unregulated. But behind the "ARA Markets right, as a market maker issued to individuals and institutional investors to provide the offer price and liquidity of the product" Obviously it is not possible, because if the company wants to take the city as a business transaction, and timely financial class of stock must also be regulated by the CFTC, the CFTC, but we did not found any information about the company.
According to the company's accounts, friends say, their remittance bank HSBC in Hong Kong, this can not explain, because the U.S. dealers can not put all client funds deposited in Hong Kong (the customer's funds will be deposited in some areas in Hong Kong, does fit, However, the U.S. may have to send money to the customer how Hong Kong). Another company using the MT4 platform, anyone can buy.
FXPRO. Propaganda on the home page of the company by the Cyprus International Financial Services Association and the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and the Cyprus Association of regulation of financial services companies, but we can not learn from the financial regulatory agencies carried out an economic evaluation of safety, financial, agitation, complaints and other information to run, but I really think recommend a company registered in Cyprus for Chinese investors, there will be more secure. There they can trade 160 kinds of promotional merchandise, I do not know if they really this 160 kinds of goods all orders into the exchange or clearing house hedge, and if so, then he should be there are other areas of regulatory information. Well forget that they use MT4 as if the great majority of the companies on this page are using MT4.
FXQQ (FX Quantum Quotes LLC). The company promoted as the U.S. dealer, but is really given query registration information inquiries for U.S. businesses, that is, that the company, just a normal business in the United States, not eligible for financial transactions, the NFA The CFTC can not be found with companies involved in foreign exchange and other financial products, trading eligibility information, the company spread the propaganda point of difference is 0 or negative, it is typical of a problem, because the unilateral order extra regular dealer in need of international hedge, cost money, point of difference is not the case, he gives you what means the hedge? Who will pay the cost? The company typically is not eligible for financial transactions of the U.S. companies in China illegal propaganda ordinary financial business.
