It's kind of obvious that English is in fact NOT his native nor preferred language. Open your eyes lol.

Precisely and that's why I've repeatedly state that this is ridiculous. Because NO other broker has chosen to do this. Their contests work/worked fine and they get great results. You wanna know what I hear when I read what they just said?"Huckleberry, First off I'm about to lie to you so please bear with me... we're not doing this to collect personal information. Believe me when I tell you, we're the only company in the world that does not value client information which, in the current market, information is gold. But no, not us. Honestly, we're just doing this so ...

Precisely. Very very short term thinking on their part and that's not a broker I can trust.

Not a live account, no. At least I don't believe so. However, you DO need to send them all the relevant information that you would normally have to send to open a live account. Perhaps they DO open a live account for you once you're verified but I'm not sure. Either way, it's ridiculous and should not be expected. It's unheard of and retarded.

Forex Contest FX Choice in Contests Mar 16, 2015 at 09:42

Read the past 5 pages dude... they require you to verify your account with photo id's, phone text verification and proof of address. Yes... for a DEMO account. Without that, you can't trade.

Yes, it is a joke. This contest, while having the potential to benefit a couple of contestants via a win, is here to benefit *them* the broker. To get them potential clients and generate publicity and leads. So far - fail. When trying to drum up business and publicity you do NOT require your potential future clients to jump through a bunch of hoops and submit an unreasonable amount of personal information so you can then bombard them with sales calls and pressure sales. And THAT is the goal here. If they decide to revoke that silly pre-requisite I will of course participate and will give them ...

See, that's all there is to it. Send them a bunch of personal info, phone number, photos of your ID and THEN you're allowed to sign up to their DEMO account and get hounded by their sales staff. As you can see, they're really smart.

Forex Contest FX Choice in Contests Mar 16, 2015 at 09:37

Because you didn't verify your account by sending them all your personal information with 2 forms of gov't ID and proof of address so that they could sell your info and spam the hell out of you with sales letters and calls. They require this in order to activate your account. Be glad you're unable to participate in this contest.

Forex Contest FX Choice in Contests Mar 16, 2015 at 09:36

Do you know how ridiculous that is? You have a contest, that, aside from 3 winners, is here to benefit you. Make no mistake about it. This contest is for YOUR benefit, and we aaaaall know it. But hey, there's a chance to win and test our skills and it's fun, so we sign up. You get a ton of people on your mailing list(i.e. leads) and a bunch of potential new clients. Now... in your infinite wisdom, you decided to do what -- as far as I know and have experienced -- No other broker has been stupid enough to do, and require your POTENTIAL FUTURE CLIENTS to jump through hoops for a DEMO acc...

Ok, so I just talked with one of the help guys and apparently you have to verify your account... Are you kidding me? We have to send in verification proof of identity documents ... For a contest? Not once have I ever had to do this and I don't think I've seen a contest on here that required this. That's ridiculous.

Forex Contest FX Choice in Contests Mar 16, 2015 at 09:22

Nevermind, just tried to open a trade and got an error and now account is disabled... Sorely disappointed at this. Was looking in to FxChoice for opening an account. Doesn't look too promising.

Hola jason. I meant to reply on Fri but something came up. After seeing your post I went "ooooh, right right" and went and checked my settings and you're right I had it set to 40 which in reality was 4 so, just for giggles and the other thing I set it to I think 200 just to see if that would solve anything aaaand it did. My entry did in fact trigger and as you had claimed in another post where you posted stats of the slippage as sometimes being in the clients favor, I actually entered short with a 10 pip total slip in my favor ha!. Apologies for the heated posts earlier :)

Forex Contest FXCM in Contests Nov 10, 2014 at 07:21

you again ... *sigh*. I have a real account. Several. And I'm sure most people here have real accounts. But I see you're just using this as an opportunity to fluff yourself and link to your account.Why is there always a cryer against the people raising complaints?? Always. Without fail.

That makes 0 sense dude. First off, that's great that you can report that their live feed works fantastically. It does make me feel a bit better. However, if you're this whizbang pro trader that handles other peoples money as you say you do which, I have no reason to doubt at all, you'd be well aware of the fact that demo accounts aren't just for practice but a good 'dip your toe in the water' test for how a brokers feeds are. To say that people getting worked up over the errors in a demo feed is somehow proof that they don't have real money to trade is quite frankl...

I'm done with this contest... I may not have won but I may have been interested in moving to FXCMM seeing as how they have a much larger availability of pairs as well as other instruments to trade compared to my broker but I have to say, if this is their demo feed I would be absolutely terrified of their live feed. So far I have, 3 times in two days, not been able to open an order before during and 30 minutes after a news trade. I've even set my slippage to 40 pips. FORTY PIP SLIPPAGE AND I STILL GET OFF QUOTES... AND ON A DEMO FEED. JESUS.. H.yesterday it was USDCAD and USDCHF... and...

Well, if they charge a small spread and couple that with a commission, doesn't it make sense that their contest on their platform would reflect their pricing model??If they didn't then they'd get people from the contest opening a live account with them and then getting upset because "wait a minute! what's with all this commission bollox?! There weren't any commissions in the contest! What a scam!!"Ya dig?
