IBFX is quickly becoming a leader in the retail Forex Market. IBFX opens on average between 1,000 and 2,000 new live accounts every month. With an average monthly trading volume of 40 billion, and single day trading volumes reaching as high as 2 and half billion; clients trading through IBFX are offered the level of liquidity that is essential in the foreign exchange market. Through IBFX's no dealing desk system, clients are able to trade up to 100 standard lots per click (per single trade) without a delay in execution.



IBFX was started privately in 2001.  We began with only a handful of employees. Presently IBFX houses a staff of over 100 employees, and this number is increasing at an impressive rate. Of course, IBFX is registered with the NFA (National Futures Association) and the CFTC (Commodities Futures Trading Commission); NFA ID # 0326091. IBFX is audited by the NFA annually. Client funds are segregated from corporate funds, and are done so in compliance with government regulations.



IBFX is a registered Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and is a member of the National Futures Association (NFA ID: 0326091).  We are subject to rigorous compliance rules and regulations adopted and enforced by the NFA and the CFTC.  IBFX has relationships with numerous large banks around the world. We do not have a specific list of who we work with as this changes from time to time.



In the foreign exchange market currencies are traded per an established contract size, this contract is referred to as a 'lot'. Typically the market trades contracts or lot sizes that are equivalent to $100,000 USD. Because the average trader operating a Standard Account is trading with leverage of 100 - 1, this means that for every $1000 of margin a trader is able to control one $100,000 contract, or one lot. IBFX also offers Mini Accounts, which are essentially 10 percent the size of Standard Accounts. For example, one Mini lot is a contract size of $10,000 as opposed to $100,000. At 100 - 1 leverage one Mini lot would require $100 of margin as opposed to $1,000. Mini accounts are typically offered 200 - 1 leverage and thus traders can enter the market with a margin requirement of $50 per Mini lot. A $100,000 contract in a Standard account typically yields pip values equal or close to $10. Accordingly, a Mini contract of $10,000 yields pip values equal or close to $1. Mini accounts are excellent for traders who are new to the market and who would like to limit their exposure.



IBFX offers 100 - 1 leverage for standard accounts and 200 - 1 leverage for mini accounts. 100 - 1 leverage in a standard account will call for $ 1,000 of margin per each lot traded. 200 - 1 leverage in a mini account will call for $ 50 of margin per each lot traded. The leverage in a trader's account cannot be raised above these levels. However, if a trader would like to have their leverage lowered such a request can be emailed to [email protected]



In accordance with our no dealer intervention business model it is not the policy of IBFX to police the trading style and activities of our clients. However, as a general rule we recommend that clients remain in trades for a duration of at least 90 seconds.



The transactions you are entering into with IBFX  are not traded on an exchange. Therefore, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, your funds may not receive the same protections as funds used to margin or guarantee exchange-traded futures and options contracts, which receive a priority in bankruptcy. Since that same priority has not been given to funds used for off-exchange forex trading, if IBFX becomes insolvent and you have a claim for amounts deposited or profits earned on transactions with IBFX, your claim may not receive a priority. Without a priority, you are a general creditor and your claim will be paid, along with the claims of other general creditors, from any monies still available after priority claims are paid. Even customer funds that IBFX keeps separate from its own operating funds may not be safe from the claims of other general and priority creditors.



Mini accounts require an initial deposit of no less than $250.00 USD and a maximum deposit of no more than $50,000.00 USD (Mini accounts can grow beyond this amount).



Standard accounts require an initial deposit of at least $2,500.00 USD and have no maximum deposit level.



If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to contact us anytime.

Can you let me know the amounts that you trade and what kind of account you are likely to have before I answer all these questions please.
Thanks
Antony


Many thanks for your interest in MF Global. We are the world's leading broker of exchange-listed futures and options.Operating in 12 countries and more than 70 exchanges, we provide access to the largest and fastest growing financial markets in the world.

We have a very strong FX presence, transacting billions a day, and can offer you phone broking or on-line trading, or even a combination of both. I have answered your questions in more detail below;


    *
      We are authorised and regulated by the FSA (Financial services authority), further details can be found at www.fsa.gov.uk
    *
      We use numerous banks as liquidity providers, on some of our trading platforms, we have up to 12 banks feeding liquidity.
    *
      Client funds are segregated and completely separate from the company funds in the event of liquidation.
    *
      A complaint would be forwarded onto our compliance department and then to the FSA if not resolved.

We are not a market maker and taking the other side to your trade. This means that there will be no instance where you will get stopped out on an incorrect price, have a limit missed when you are due a fill, or have a dealer trying to slew the prices you are getting. You are free to trade over news and scalp if you wish. In essence, unlike the majority of FX brokers, we will be working with you rather than against you.

What we aim to do is give our clients access to the best possible prices and service and therefore considerably improve their chances of trading profitably. This business formula has enabled us to gather a client base of well in excess of 130,000 active clients.
Could you give me an idea of which currencies you trade and the volume and frequncy? (i.e. 500k EUR/USD x 2 per day)

Also, what starting capital would you be looking to begin with?


Best regards and speak soon,

Amine

Thank you for your email and thank you for your interest in trading with Exto Capital. Please find the answers to your questions below:





Hi,

I am interested to trade forex but i need to know more details about your brokerage service, please answer the following questions:

Who are your regulators? We are regulated by the Swiss Federal Department of Finance, under the direct supervision of the LBA, anti money laundering authorities. We are also regulated by OAR-G, a official body that regulated Brokers in Switzerland.

Do you have a licence number? Yes please see document attached

Who is your auditor? Price Waterhouse Coopers

Can you send me attached in the mail documents that prove your compliance and the last 3 year audits? This is strictly confidential as we are under Swiss Banking Secrecy

Who are your liquidity providers? We are using mainly 3 different liquidity providers, UBS, Deutsche Bank and Barclay's.

Are the traders funds held in trust in a separated account or they are used for operational expenses? We have global accounts at Barclay's Private Bank in Geneva Switzerland, however depending the amount you wish to invest, we can have a segregated account for you.

In case of insolvency or bankruptcy there are some kind of governamental fund to protect traders? You funds being held with a Swiss bank, since Barclay's Private bank operates under Swiss law, you would need to check with them.

In a case of a dispute between the trader and the brooker what third party will solve the complaint issue? We never face that situation, I have no answer for you regarding this particular point.

If i am a winning or a professional trader will i get my account limited and closed with winning trades cancelled? Absolutely not, a winning client is a good client for us, he will tell his friends and we'll have more volume traded on the platform. We live from the spread, we split the spread x volume with our liquidity providers, the more volume the better. A losing client is not a good client.

You are a market maker with a dealing desk that may trade against my position? We have a dealing desk in case of internet connection failure, otherwise there is no intervention at all, all trades are placed directly through our system with one of our liquidity provider (best bid & ask), and in less than 7 milli seconds trades are settled.

Do you manipulate prices? No, we don't.

Can i trade during news? Yes you can, however UBS and Deutsche are not the best banks to trade during news, their feeds are not always the best. You might experience from time to time requites in extreme volatile markets.

Is scalping allowed? The more you trade the better.

Are you an ECN? Yes we are, our system if fully automatic.
