Hmmmm.... my friend withdraw his money in less than 2 week.

This 'manipulated trades' is interesting. Can u pls explain to me how MIA manipulates its trades?
Also pls explain about JH's trading record for the past 3 years. I know people join MIA bcos of JH's trading skill.
Enlighten me bcos I'm a newbie  tongue.gif

when your friend withdraw, is he receiving money from multiple bank account? for eg: withdraw RM3000, Rm1k from 1 biz account, 1k from saving acc and 1k another different acc? this is red flag

for depositing, give to money exchanger? and this middle agent will send to broker? because to avoid tax? fyi, malaysia has no capital tax, you made money from stock/any form of investment, there is 100% no tax. so no such thing as avoid tax

Nope, he said he received all that money in 1 transfer from broker
Yes
Nope, bcos we hv rupiah. broker only received usd

are you based in Indonesia or Malaysia? When receiving the money, it is from which broker? bank history mention how much is the exchange rate or not? for deposit, why cannot go to local bank and perform foreign telegraphic transfer direct to broker?

That's what my friend said. So it's not 100% sure.
Me myself never wd capital yet  smile.gif
I receive profit weekly.
For ex : this week my mt4 account gave me $100 profit (nett after deducted with broker's commision).
on saturday that profit is transfered fm mt4 account to my MIA account.
In MIA account I only receive $60 (profit sharing 60:40)


RED FLAG. That means Mt4 Account DO NOT Belong to you, but thru another agent which is MIA, or you(investor) is under MIA's sub-account. When you buy or sell in a real financial market, someone needs to have liquidity and willing party to accept your order, thats why people always go with BIGGEST & WELL KNOWN broker, easiest way to identify genuine broker is it has well established office in London(UK), Tokyo(JP/Asia) & New York(USA). the reason being is all the biggest bank in the world has dealing desk in these location and major market volume, movement & trading session always come from these big 3 player. when execute trading it will minimise slippage, and deep liquidity market available

QUOTE(manrino123 @ May 26 2019, 06:48 PM)
Afaik, there r 2 ways to wd that $60 :
1. Send it to my Fintech account n transfer fm there to my personal bank account. This method will take 5-10 work days.
As per my understanding, only fintech can transfer money, MIA can't.

2. Transfer it to my leader as 'register point' n then he will transfer me the money. 1 register point = $1 profit. This method only takes 1 work day
With this method, my leader gives the exchange rate as well
This is also applicable. There's fintech's bank account to transfer. But they said it will takes 7 work days
Via money changer only takes 2 work days (max). But MC charges us 3% as the fee  doh.gif
Ok I will ask him to do so. But he's on holiday atm, need your patience to wait  tongue.gif

i assumed this is his trading history? https://www.myfxbook.com/en/members/MIA491/...arrison/2411336
https://www.myfxbook.com/reviews/brokers/fintechfx/1594656,1
Upon looking at which broker MIA is using, which is this https://fintechfx.com/contact.php
QUOTE
Suite 305, Griffith Corporate Centre , Beachmont Kingstown St.Vincent and the Grenadines


Registered in some unknown island on Carribean, government there probably can easily bribed or corrupted, or probably can setup a MT4 server but did not execute the real trade? the world "DEMO" or "REAL" on your MT4 doesnt mean a thing, as long as the server accept ur order, u never know whats happening on server side, as they can setup few server for public to execute, demo or real & no problem accepting trade. there are plenty of case where people opened account with unknown broker, when made some money, try to withdraw but cannot, because no real trading has been executed, its just playing with the server. in my opinion, MIA is more like paying old investor by acquiring new investor's money, ponzi scheme.

Real managed fund just use broker with PAMM, which allow people to deposit and profit sharing scheme can be setup, between the trader and investor themselves. example : https://pepperstone.com/uk/trading-platforms/mam-pamm

Yes I realized that MIA has access to my account. Perhaps the purpose is to collect the profit sharing. Bcos if they don't hv the access, how can they collect their shared profit?
QUOTE(manrino123 @ May 27 2019, 03:57 PM)
Yep, MIA uses Super MAM software
*
if trader using PAMM, there is no need for MIA at all, once trade is closed, profit is split & distributed automatically. profit ratio can be adjust to any suitable level, depending on trader. investor can withdraw anytime they want, there is no lock-in period except when there is open position in the market


QUOTE(manrino123 @ May 27 2019, 03:57 PM)
Fintech is a NDD, STP-ECN broker

"Many users search for true ECN STP brokers because they don’t want the broker to be the counterpart of their orders, in other words, they do not want to have conflicts of interest where the broker might “hope” for your losses, that for him would mean gains, being him the counterpart.
From our experience, when people search for the best ECN STP brokers, in essence they are looking for a Non Dealing Desk broker, without really knowing what the difference between ECN and STP are.
With a STP ECN broker you’re choosing a broker that will not be the counterpart of your orders, but that will simply work to find another counterpart to satisfy it. Basically, an ECN STP broker will not be interested in the success (or failure) of your operations, but he will only act as an intermediary in order to satisfy them.
Among the various execution models, the differences perceived, on the user side, actually are really low, especially for those who simply want to do forex trading with no particular operational needs.
However, the major point of any NDD broker is certainly the spread, usually lower (sometimes even zero) than the Market Maker one, and the ability to operate at extreme speed, even in scalping mode."


https://investingoal.com/best-ecn-stp-forex-brokers/
____________________________________________________

"NDD - No Dealing Desk: An NDD forex broker provides direct access to the interbank market; it can be an STP or STP+ECN broker (see below for STP and ECN broker definitions). With a genuine No Dealing Desk broker, there is no requoting of prices, which means that you can trade during economic announcements without any restrictions. The spreads offered are lower, but they are not fixed, so they can increase significantly when volatility is increasing during major economic announcements. An NDD broker can either charge a commission on each trade or choose to increase the spread.

STP - Straight Through Processing: In STP mode, transactions are fully computerised and are immediately processed on the interbank market without any broker intervention.

ECN - Electronic Communication Network: ECN brokers provide and display real-time order book information (featuring the orders that were processed and the prices offered by banks on the interbank market). They thereby improve market transparency by providing information to all market participants. ECN brokers usually make their money by charging a commission on the traded volume. With ECN brokers, all transactions are directly processed on the interbank market in No Dealing Desk mode."

Yes for that Carribean address, that's weird. Perhaps the office rental cost is much cheaper there?  biggrin.gif
Here is Tier 1 liquidity provider, it is not a secret, world's biggest broker is always connected with these provider. for JH case, why need to use a broker that is registered in some unknown country?

He already traded since Jan 2016 (in Odin Capital), long bfore MIA opened its operation in 2017


obviously you dont listen, using a broker which is not-regulated could be faked with multiple server, there is no real trading. its just using new investor's money to pay the old investor

In addition, upon request, a legal conclusion of the jurisdiction is provided that the activity is not licensed.

legit fund manager would use well established broker like these, definitely not some address at Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

https://www.home.saxo/institutional-and-par...prime-brokerage


by just googling, apparently Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is SCAM HAVEN for financial trading.

few discussion with broker problem from St Vincent & Grenadines

This is a sample of FAKE TRADING in FintechFX by MIA-James Harrison copy trading .. All Member of MIA should see the same information in your Fintech MT4

[attachmentid=10007702]

* 2018.08.16 10:45:18 SELL XAU/USD at 1177.58
But the candle in M1 is : Open: 1177.39 High: 1177.50 Low: 1177.26 Close: 1177.26

Another example, just see yourself in your Fintech MT4:
[attachmentid=10007691]
* 2018.08.03 12:17:33 BUY XAU/USD at 1207.94 sell at 1209.91 (2018.08.03 14:11:48)
M1 Candle (2018.08.03 14:11) is : Open: 1209.23 High: 1209.89 Low: 1209.09 Close: 1209.87

* FintechFX use bid-price as data for candle/chart

* If you want to analyze, you should find many of “SELL” point are out of chart / candle
for buy op -> see the end of trade/sell,
for sell op -> see the start of trade

sell point SHOULD NOT BE OUT OF CHART/CANDLE, buy point can be out of chart / candle because of spread.

maybe after they know this "glitch", maybe they will try to alter all abnormal trade, either change the open-close price, or even change the candle range data (high/low).

I was wondering this list of scammers that you posted on 2015 has since been 5 years old meaning that this CK and Tradesto have been operating "legitimately" for 5 years without any issues, so how long normally does it take for one broker to continue operation until they collapse and then they take the money and run ? And won't they have to face any legal consequences ? since the name and photo of these CK leaders are known to public so those who got scammed can just make a police report on them .

P.S. Not trying to challenge you or anything it's just that I'm curious as to how these scam syndicates operate so I can pull my friend out before he things got worse. (He apparently is promoting the group by accepting appointments from interested people)

Belize
British Virgin Island
St Vincent and the Grenadines
Saint Kitts and Nevis
Curacao
Seychellles
Latvia
Estonia
Malta
Dominica
Alderney
Belarus
Kenya
etc..

local government would not demand the following

- draft, bookeeping and annual reports of your company
- no submission of annual or monthly tax returns & report
- no requirement to submit any financial documents publicly
- no requirement regarding statutory audit
- do not require filing annual financial statements within the local authorities


Government effectivness index for offshore country also extremely low, this also mean gov is ineffective to carry out any law enforcement activities, public and civil service severely handicapped, social and political riot happens often, this also mean forex scammers and criminal free to do anything they want
https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/w..._effectiveness/

so it is fair to say, there is no real trading involved if you are using offshore broker, as company registered at offshore is lack of regulation, neither the local gov can be trusted, can be easily bribed by scammer to continue operating.

How different this one? Many have complicated T&C to start become fund manager. For own trades, IcMarket is very good and generous commission given for traded lots monthly. Provided you do not join them via IB (IB taking portion of the commission obviously. As long you trade well, money will keep flowing into your accounts.

in my opinion, wont recommend use any broker based in Indonesia even though they are regulated by local authority. Government effectiveness Indonesia ranked at no.75, cases like bribe few thousand and probably can buy license easily, regulation is not effective and company allowed to do anything as their wish. reference : post no.2796
