hello everyone, i'm new to this thread here, but i do find my good forex buddy in this thread as well  Back to last year when i start trading, this thread is what i am looking for to learn about forex, and i found some master in forex here as buddies, thanks to all. I cant deny to be successful in forex is extremely hard, you need dedication, hardwork, and have extreme interest in it. i'm not active in lowyat obviously, but am more active in ForexFactory, you can find me there with username - stanvy, forgive me if i'm not allowed to post that.. lolx I've a thread explorer there as well, you can view my entry there, thanks to all here, will post more on my opinion in future, i'm helped by senior member here, and is time for me to give back here as well  This post has been edited by ivychai: Mar 14 2015, 11:43 AM

I don't understand what's with all this IB crap on this forum. If you want to trade forex, you do your own research on brokers, and you apply for an account yourself. If you can surf Lowyat.net, then you are more than capable of applying for an account yourself.
Funding can be done by credit card, if the name on your credit card matches your IC name, funds go through in a few hours time.
When you ask for people to give you a channel, gateway, go under them or whatever, you are making yourself susceptible to scams.
Newbies, if you want to trade with low capital from 100 USD, go to FXPro or Oanda. These brokers win legit awards and have been around a while. When your funds get big enough to worry you, say about RM50k, then only start looking at different platforms, fixed spread, commissions, relationship manager, ECN etc etc etc.
Last but not least, as mentioned millions of times before. If you are a newbie, please please please do demo trading first and learn the platform. Go to babypips and learn WHILE trying on the demo account if you are a newbie. Use any broker with MT4. You will most likely be directed to FOREX.com or FXCM, don't use them, their spreads are high. Go with my suggestions above.
Flame me all you want, but I just see too much bullshit around here.
Edit: And just to add, it is not what banks are blocking funding to brokers. It is the brokers that are flagged. So once again, choose an appropriate broker, not one that promises heaven and earth and rebates and whatnot.

QUOTE We would like to remind you that this month's Oil contract is set to expire on 18 March 2015 at 00:15 MT4. The new month's Oil contract will reopen on 19 March 2015 at 01:00 MT4. To view the Oil instrument "USOIL" in your MT4 Market Watch, simply right-click within the MT4 Market Watch and select "Show All."
Please note that monthly Oil expiration takes place one day prior to the expiration of its underlying futures contract at our closing bid/ask price. All open positions on the expiring contract will be closed, all floating profit and loss will be realized and all pending orders will be deleted. No positions will be rolled forward into the new contract. Please note that it will be within the responsibility of the client to re-initiate any expired Oil positions.
Also note that you may manually execute trades on the new contract at the open of the next trading session at 01:00 MT4 time. Can anybody confirm?

Is this because my account is in EURO? Not USD. Define "can't", can't find the gold chart? or cannot execute trade, normally Gold should be like XAU/USD
