Hmm Im looking for a regulated broker, which provide fixed spread account.

I wanted to start a demo account with HotForex but then they do not provide demo account with fixed spread, only variable spread.

Then I turn to FXPrimus, they do provide fixed spread account. But the spread is not really low, EURUSD 2pips, AUDUSD 3pips, GBPUSD 3pips. Now trading with their demo account.

Are HotForex and FXPrimus regulated? Does Bank Negara recognize them? (Or does Bank Negara blacklist them?)
Can you guys recommend me some regulated broker with low spreads?

FYI, Bank Negara does not approve any type of forex trading by any means so trade at your own risk. Why do you need fixed spread? some ECN floating spread is low enough and most wont go over 2 even at extreme conditions. Most fixed spread broker usually wont go below 2 pips.
*
Because floating spread often go up to 6 or 7 pips when the market open/close or when a major news is released. I had never seen a floating spread remain under 2. sweat.gif

I'm fine with the fixed spreads offered by FXPrimus, but just surveying if there is any lower.


I had just read that FXPrimus was listed scam by Bank Negara. shocking.gif shocking.gif shocking.gif
What the.............. So FXPrimus is a scam???

See the words I marked red, it's in chinese but basically it means that bank negara has classified online forex as illegal. shocking.gif

I know we shouldn't join those broker with MLM/Pyramid Scheme, and forex is not regulated and licensed in Malaysia, but does it mean we are breaking the law when we trade via international broker eg.FXPrimus, HotForex, FXCM etc?

As BNM have stated, trade forex is illegal here... therefore, there is no forex broker here my fren.

Even if there is, mostly will link with oversea broker... your money will be transferred to oversea.
*
Yes I know it's illegal here, so if we trade via international broker then we are not breaking the law since our money is transferred to oversea?

Average Profit monthly is around 500pip.

Can you post more detail here? So others can examine whether the broker is a scam or trustable or not.

my campus is starting to recruit students into Forex. The minimum deposit is RM5k. I find it is not necessary, I assume they are scamming the students. I am playing at $100 only.

Is that "officially" from your campus? Or just some guys from the outside get contact with students of your campus via some society club? What's the broker name? hmm.gif

1:500 means leverage.
eg, GBP/USD quote at 1.5239 (trade volume 1). if 1:1 your margin is USD $15239.00 / 1:100 then is USD $152.39 / 1:500 then is USD $30.48.

lets say i trade with 1:500 leverage, volume use 1, each pip = USD $1 (Margin: USD $30.48)
volume use 0.01, each pip = USD$0.01 (Margin: USD $0.30)

my advise, if you can't lose, don't play forex, the movement for you is too big.

Confusing for me rclxub.gif

I watched this video on youtube about leverage, still fail to understand.



What is the leverage I should use if I want to invest only USD$1000, and trade with volume where in 1 lot = $10 per pip?

hold on,1k capital u want gain 1 pip=10usd?holy.good luck.
this page maybe would help u.
Leverage 1
Levarage 2

No sorry that's not what I mean.
I was saying that I want 1 lot = 10$ per pip in my account, like a micro account, but I will trade with less than 0.1 lot. I said so because in some type of account 1 lot is actually more than 10$ per pip? I'm not sure if this has something to do with "leverage".

Thanks, will spend some time reading.

yep.
1st u must understand what is lot.
1.0 open lot on standard account/mini account/micro account.each of 1.0 lot different.
1.0 standard usually 1 pip =10usd
1.0 mini 1 pip = 1usd
1.0 micro 1pip = 0.1usd.
( i also dont know this is right or not)

leverage and lot different thing biggrin.gif
read and try on demo 1st.explore all the features.dont rush.basics is easy when u on demo.read and practice.demo money no problem.
leverage/margin u can just read,hard to explain lol.
 
this is just the basic,money management soon,psychology,trading strategy,and learn to loss 1st lol.
later looking the best strategy that suits u is the most hard part and also psychology.

QUOTE(boyvai @ Jul 22 2013, 12:04 AM)
if u want 1 pip on micro u can change lot.
100 lot on micro lot = 10usd.
easy.

Thanks for explaining so patiently. notworthy.gif

So basically, trading with 0.01 lot in standard account is like trading with 1 lot in micro account? Then it isn't much different for me, as we can manually change the trading lot size.

I find leverage and lot confusing because
QUOTE
Trader A chooses to apply 50 times real leverage on this trade by shorting US$500,000 worth of USD/JPY (50 x $10,000) based on his $10,000 trading capital. Because USD/JPY stands at 120, one pip of USD/JPY for one standard lot is worth approximately US$8.30, so one pip of USD/JPY for five standard lots is worth approximately US$41.50. If USD/JPY rises to 121, Trader A will lose 100 pips on this trade, which is equivalent to a loss of US$4,150. This single loss will represent a whopping 41.5% of his total trading capital.
http://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex...ex_leverage.asp
Why in this example, one pip of USD/JPY for one standard lot is US$8.30? Why not $10?

Good  rclxms.gif Bank wire still the safest more reliable. If a broker cant wire you the money, you can be sure something is up  unsure.gif

How much is the cost of each bank wire transaction?

Technically speaking, you can't withdraw directly to your own local debit/ credit card. But some brokers (like Primus) has an alternative; they can help you open a debit card account (Payoneer) from their bank. You can then transfer your profit/ balance to the Payoneer debit card and use it locally. This way, your money is still in Primus's account/ linked to their accounts.

As for a international bank wire, the charges will normally be around 50 USD or less. depending on the bank they use etc.

P.S. the broker will normally cover your bank wire fee if you want to deposit  smile.gif

For all the sifus here, please give me some advice before I commit my hard earned money..

1. Learn by myself on how to trade,
    Outcome/results: uncertain, or learn by mistakes.

Or

2. Join my friend in a forex group. Education, group discussion provided. Earn also by referring to others and earn commission(become ib). But need to open acc at least 10k.

Which one u guys will choose?

Thanks for all the replies above. My friend is telling me this group exist for more than a year,(I don't know if I'm allowed to say the name here) and I will be depositing my money straight to the oversea broker not any 3rd parties ib. Of course they earn alot, and I guess half of it are from ppl joining them/spread. I also shocked when they are all 20ish and driving expensive cars.. My friend is a trustable friend, that's why I keep on thinking twice as he also keep saying he wants to help me. But of course I'm also afraid if anything happens and we all can't get our money back.
