And to be really blunt, if you're going to be managing money for clients you need to know what you're doing. Not knowing at this point - where you are advertising - what a market maker does, is unforgivable.

You shouldn't be marketing anything really. It's pretty obvious you don't have a clue what you're doing. All you're going to do is cost people money and give it to the brokers.

And that's just going to make my life harder long term as regulators move to get the likes of you out of the market.

There is no market depth in retail fx. If you want market depth you'd have to go to Bloomberg or one of the other organizations/brokers that provides it...

i am not advertising here anymore....i just tried ok...it wont work unless i post my results here....and i am not the manager..,, i might be a screwed up advertiser...but managers are totally good traders with lots of experience in market...and i am ready to show some of our accounts for interested people....i dont fake things...but i just cant post things here because these things are in the agreement...

and stop underestimating people, its just circumstances that leave some behind 😄

How can you tell if someone is a good money manager?

I don't have anything against you personally. Or your money managers. I understand that things don't go as planned always. But you do need to know what you are selling and what the implications are if it goes wrong. Liability is a huge issue. Can cost you everything you have and will ever have...

If I did what you are doing here, my fine would be about $2 000 000 US. Do you even know if you're falling fowl of your regulatory environment?

I been to the middle east. I seen the left behinds. 4 am in Jeddah is an eye opener.

If you're going to punt this - take the time to learn your craft.

You don't have the skills to evaluate your managers. They can look at camel poop and you wouldn't know the difference. Again - it's not that I think less of you, you just don't know this game. So you can't advise on it....

I can show you anything I want to. Simple matter of manipulation, so can they...ever met these people?

Not sure I understand what that means.

But I said my bit. I suggest you do a bit more homework and especially look into your liability if a client does lose all his money (or the account even under performs) and decides to take legal action. Can cost you everything you've ever had or will ever have...

First stop for the lawyers will be you if you were an intermediary, not the guys you're punting.

Errr - they actually do chose IB's from Kindergarten, anybody is welcome, the more the better.

In any other instrument but FX you have to be a registered financial adviser in most countries to do what you're trying to do. I used to be one. Have to write exams and so on, do legislated needs analysis and things before you can place money.

The FX dudes will take anyone, it's not legislated yet...

I was looking into doing a company in Dubai's financial zone, and from what I've read, you're scratching the lions balls with a short stick. Where I come from we use a long stick, gives you time to run...

i actually dint know that...coz they were asking my marketting plans, number of clients i can introduce, so n so...thgt they needed someone good who can bring people in.. still i dont think i am a bad one in the list, coz i dont make a client invest unless i have a proper idea about them....coz some people may only have 500$ salary and they approach me with that money....i never appreciate people to do that....coz losing one months income is gona hurt...and i am sure they will try to get it back...but people who can risk, they only keep throwing money until they find the best one....thats what i think

Btw,,, if you were an IB , you can help be out to be a better one, why dont you do something like that, coz as you said, may be i need to be more clear about things that i do 😁

I'm not an IB...

I find the whole IB thing unethical. You end up taking the client to the best remuneration for you, instead of what is best for the client. To much of a conflict of interest.
