Hi, traders

   Actually I have been searching for online FOREX trade for sometimes but I can't find one those are from Malaysia. Any recomendation to me ? If it is not from Malaysia, then which one is more reliable and is use by many traders. Online search, i can see alots but not familiar with it. Please help  icon_question.gif  Thanks ya  smile.gif

If you found a forex broker in Malaysia, then your money depositing will be more risky. Because unreliable broker without any regulation. I believe US gov is doing better in controlling all forex broker, so i'll still choose broker from US but recently can't do hedging for US broker under NFA, the 2nd choice is the broker from UK which regulated under FSA which can do hedging. I'm currently IBFX user, on testing Alpari UK broker.

Today i saw an advertisment on newspaper regarding forex broker in Malaysia. The company called SuperFrx Sdn Bhd, website: http://www.superfx.net/ . I thought BNM haven't approve forex broker based in Malaysia but this company even got their own MT4 platform named MetaTrader-SUPERfx, got company address too. It doesn't tell got any partnership with other broker oversea, looks like it created themselve. Pls check it out and give some comments, thanx!

If we are not allowed to trade in forex then explain how did the free workshop in KLCC happened? It was considered a major event. Don't tell me the government 'closed an eye' as well?
*
As i know the expo in KLCC all the brokers there are not regulated in Malaysia, so they're allowed.

haha talking about survivor, we should consider United States. They have proper human rights unlike malaysia. A normal waitress will get roughly 3k USD monthly, its enough to buy a new BMW 3 series. So we live in a country where there's pros and cons.
*
I don't think a 3k waitress can get a BMW 3 series in US. Because other expenses already very high especially rental that most likely over usd1000/room if you're in New York. And don't forget their income tax is between 35%-50%.

hi everyone

notice alot of free forex seminar nowadays. anyone attended their real education seminar (which is not free ofcourse)? how is it?

isn't it funny, if they are so good in making tons of money from forex, why do they bother passing on their knowledge/strategies to the public...for a fee? anyone ask this question to the speaker b4?

if anyone attending any free seminar, please ask this question on why they are providing education seminar if they are making lucrative income from forex. biggrin.gif

Their hobby and one of their business model to build reputation and advertise to public to get famous of their products and of course their own.

Hi, i m a full time FX trader and i have traded for 1 year. I can assure you newbies it is not easy, the road to profitability is winding, bumpy and scary at times. So demo well, and read more. I would recommend Van Tharp and John Person books.

Btw, i plan to buy a car at the end of the year but i am trading FX i can't get a bank loan or even a credit card because i dont have a pay slip. Any guides on this from pros out there?
*
I also want to know more about that. What i know is first setup a company in malaysia then review your income from forex into the company profit & loss. I need to know more.

Yeah, I found FA really confusing me. anyone know which websites provide better info for FA and news? Forexfactory & Dailyfx? anymore than that?

Actually no matter which bank you using, you still can transfer to any borkers, it is called Telegrahic Transfer. If you don't care the regulation, just want to experience real live trading, then i suggest you invest the money you can afford to lose.

You can try actionforex.com

Thanks.. smile.gif
so, how much is the charges per transaction/transfer?  Of course I got consider for regulated broker, such as Oanda. Just want to find broker that would provide services that:
1. Easy to transfer/ deposit/ withdraw $$.
2. Good customer service.
3. Low spreads.
4. Regulated company (if it is, better)
5. Micro account (trade 0.01 lot)

I know the risks involved. So, I won't put so much money into the account.  biggrin.gif
*
You can try ibfx.com, it provide the service that you need, that's my experience below:-

1. Easy to transfer/ deposit/ withdraw $$.
a) Transfer funds to other broker within 24hours
b) Deposit within 24hours
c) Withdrawal within 48hours

2. Good customer service.
a) 24hours support with fast response.

3. Low spreads.
a) 2-4pips spread for major pairs, the spreads are very stable all the time excluded news time. Leverage up to 400:1

4. Regulated company (if it is, better)
a) NFA, FCM, CFTC

5. Micro account (trade 0.01 lot)
a) Pls note, some broker allow you to trade 0.01lot, but it is belongs to micro lot size which is $0.10/pip, but IBFX provide nano lot size which is $0.01/pip while you can trade smaller.

Just take a try on their demo and experience it.

It's a nice broker! Thanks! but I can't select "micro account" when I "try" to register for a real account. I can't trade micro lots in mini account, right?

They only give 3 alternatives:
                1. Standard Account (100:1 leverage).
                2. Mini Account (200:1 leverage).
                3. Mini Account (400:1 leverage). 

View attachment below:

You just need to choose this 3. Mini Account (400:1 leverage). Then you can trade 1.00 lot for mini, 0.10 lot for micro & 0.01 lot for nano.

Last month, NFA imposed "no more hedging" rule..
Now again NFA wants to impose "no stop-loss and no take profit" rule!!! mad.gif
No hope for most traders

NFA is a real joke.. They are protecting brokers instead of the traders.

God, no stop loss and take profit, how to trade? Can you send me the link of NFA regarding this info?

Thanks. But IBFX is regulated by NFA, right? New NFA rule forces me choose for other brokers, which are not regulated by NFA.  sweat.gif

For the new FIFO rule created by NFA, it had made some changes to our trading, actually is good for us to prevent losses or margin call. Here the changes that affected:-

1) If apply FIFO: You need to close the 1st trade before you can close the 2nd trade, but you still can open the same lot size for the same pair. Only can create S/L & T/P for the 1st trade.

2) If without FIFO: You can't open the same lot size for the same pair and you need to open different lot size for them, Eg: 1.00 lot for 1st pair and 1.01 lot for 2nd pair.

Do you want to know why the NFA is enforcing this rule?
It's supposed to be a protective rule to prevent you from incurring major losses on a set of losing trades. If you didn't close the first opened first hoping the market would retrace to either minimize your losses or potentially achieve a small profit, the NFA feels that too often the market does not retrace to just compound your losses further until you hit margin calls. I think the NFA created the exception for different lot sizes to rule more with a velvet glove than an iron fist because it gives traders some flexibility and keeps a balance between protective vs. controlling for the new rule.

NFA new FIFO rule for all brokers are same. As i know if you open the 1st & 2nd trades with same lot size, then you can't create S/L & T/P for 2nd trade, unless you use different lot size for both trades.

yeah the ruling kinda sucks for those who are use to MT4...  im not sure abt other platforms eg hotspot/currenex etc etc..

well you can always opt for not NFA regulated.. just open an account with a broker in eurozone(meaning europe) or australia..  tongue.gif

I hope so but i can't find any broker provide nano lot size which is $100 contract size ($0.01/pip) because i currently trading for nano lot size in IBFX, heard that currently worldwide only IBFX & Oanda available.
