Pipcop,
I've been testdriving gt-shadow for 2 months now and trying to go live with ibfx. Ibfx is driving me nuts though "please send us a scan of your creditcard" "we can't see the left edge, can you send another one" "we can read the scan of your passport but the picture is a little light, can you scan it a little darker? ". Busy 2 weeks now and still no money in my live account (although I pulled my creditcard last week)
But that is just side-info.
Real reason for posting: Please check your lotsizes. Seems like IBFX and FXDD gave you a mini-account (as needed with the relativly small deposit) Whereas the others gave you a standard account. Profits will increase tremendously with a standard account, but so does the risk for a margin call.
As for forex.com: tried to go live with them too since they seem to have a low spread, but gt-shadow just wouldn't trade. I've e-mailed with their customer service and they where most helpfull in explaining how most broker send 4 digits behind for the spread and they would send 5. GT-shadow has the option to change to 5 digits so I changed that, but no result. Then forex.com changed my spreads to 4 digits, but still no results. At last I asked my money back and am now cluttered up in red tape with ibfx. |
