Well if the broker offers you some
bonus capital ... it could be a good thing ...
Like Instaforex .. deposit at rm3.7 ... withdrawal at rm3.6 per USD ...
Lets say you deposit RM 3700 ... current BNM conversion rate is RM 3 .. but Instaforex is RM 3.7
Capital in your account ....
3700 / 3.7 = USD 1000 + 30% bonus = USD 1300
compare that with
3700 / 3 = USD 1233
You have more capital despite the "worse" rate. ...
Let's say you trade and make 50% return ...
1300 -> 1950
1233 -> 1849.50
Withdraw
1950 * 3.6 = 7020 (Insta)
1849.50 * 3.3 (assuming the USD strengthen) = 6103.35 (others)
But the trend is USD
going to weaken ... so you will get even less than RM6103.35 using other broker.
Added on November 25, 2010, 4:47 pmHow can the broker do this ? My simple guess is ... most traders lose money in forex. Why ? Because of lack of experience, knowledge and discipline.
is instaforex secure and regulated? i cant find instaforex in CFTC, NFA and FSA..
