Hey guys,
does your broker offer a debit card which you can use for transactions directly from your forex account? Would you use it or do you think it would mess up your trading and make it more complicated because you always have open positions? If your broker does not offer one, would you want that option?

Haven't used it before, but don't see a real reason for it. Even if you have enormous profits to withdraw, it would be best to withdraw it in a controllable manner such as a bank wire. The account is obviously for trading purposes, so using a debit card would most likely create chaos in the trading history and your money management rules as it's too easy to withdraw funds. |

Hi,
I have one but not used yet. In my opinion an withdrawal is an withdrawal, by bank wire or to an debit card. Why u think some brokers offer these ones? why u think any other debit card is be offered? they make money with it, so easy. And about history and MM, damn, whats that for? of course u have to adjust, regardless which way the withdrawal goes....

Yes, I agree. I have not used one and I am not sure if I will or not for the reasons you have mentioned. Pax puts the X in Forex. |

Seems a few that off this service are off shore and offer 1000-1 or 500-1 Leverage
Seems good but then look at the charges, the Broker gets a kick back for your transactions. For some though you could save on withdrawals via debit card As always READ THE SMALL PRINT lol Who Dares Wins |

In the end it comes down to personal preference. I think if you are disciplined enough the debit card should not have a negative impact at all. I mean if you withdraw $250 via bank transfer or online payment processor or debit card every week the impact on your account is the same. I am not sure if I will ever use one, but the argument that it will mess up your account is not applicable in my opinion.

Not many reach this stage unfortunately, which is also why only a few are answering your question.. |
