Greetings everyone. I’ve got a new managed forex account for you folks to check out. One again this one also comes from Income Plus Asset Management Inc. (IPAM) The name of the managed account is “Armada” and it trades at IFX. IFX is a U.K registered company and is authorized and regulated by the FSA (financial services authority).
Like all of IPAM’s IFX based managed accounts Armada operates on LAMM (Lot Allocation Management Module) technology. The only noticeable difference between the Armada and IPAM’s other IFX operated accounts is the per round turn performance fee, which is set at $2.50 per 10K round turn lot compared to $3.50 for the other ones. Although I know many people (including myself) do not like per round turn performance fees, keep in mind that the performance results are NET of ALL fees.
Ok, let’s go into some details about the Armada account:
Trading Style: Short-term trading employing maximum risk control while applying proprietary technical strategies on both a day and swing trading basis.
Key Points – IPAM Armada
- Number of strategies – multiple time frames: 35
- Average trades per month: 70
- Average holding time per trade: 1 – 5 days
- Currency traded: EUR, USD, GBP, CHF, JPY, CAD, AUD, NZD and their crosses
- Strict Risk Management: multiple loss control techniques and extensive trade management tools implemented on every trade
- Fully Automated: All Trading Done by Computer Algorithms
- Minimum investment size: $10,000
- Management Fee: $2.50 per round turn 10,000 lot plus 25% of net new high equity
- Monthly results, net of all fees, may be viewed at IPAM Armada Performance Results
Please Note: All gains, losses, and trading fees are distributed by the LAMM (Lot Allocation Management Module) account on a percentage basis so that all accounts, regardless of size, obtain the same percentage returns.
As you can see this one has a much higher minimum investment size compared to the IPAM Platinum at FXCM account that I mentioned in a previous post. Also, the returns are much higher. Luckily though this account has managed to achieve these high returns with only two losing months since 2006. Keep in mind though that this account is traded by computerized strategies unlike the IPAM Platinum which does involve a certain amount of human intervention, or as we say in the trading community, “discretionary trading.” However, this does not necessarily make it inferior to IPAM Platinum or any other human traded accounts. There are many variables to consider and the long term performance record is what really matters in the end.
So there you have it folks, another managed forex account for your consideration. Stay tuned to this blog as I will be introducing other managed forex accounts later on.
Happy Investing!

My company Soukfx is interested in a mutually beneficial relationship with your company. We have a forex managed fund ourselves that has been trading live since 2003.
The fund has averaged 5-6% a month for going on 5 years now. Our fund is traded by a software program (an EA)we have been fine tuning for the last 8 years. The program is monitored around the clock by 8 of our traders. We are very pleased with these results and so our all our clients.
If you are not achieving the same kind of returns that we are. You may want to consider
allowing us to show you what our EA can do. We have account statements all the way back to 2003 that have been verified by the NFA. We are members of the NFA with a spotless record. What we are suggesting is allowing our traders and EA handle your managed fund for you. We have already begun to take over DC Bonta’s managed fund ,Global potential corp’s fund, and the FX Nation Live Fund.We have made a deal with them that was not only beneficial to them, but also very satisfying for their customers.
Our EA also trades an avg of 30 to 40 times a day so the commissions are very lucrative for everyone involved. The 5-6% return your customers will average is after commission.
If this is something you would be interested in hearing more about hit reply or call us at the number supplied at the bottom. We realize in a venture like this you will want to do your due diligence so these are the credentials we can supply you.
1.NFA numbers and contact info to check our history and relationship with the NFA.
2.Background checks on all proprietors.
3.Account statements going back to 2003.
4.All exchange information
5.An actual live trading account you view the EA in action.
6.Contact information of customers currently in the fund who can verify the results we claim.

What do you think of SOUKFX?? Anybody doing good or bad with them??
Good job on the article, I am always interested in reading about new managed forex strategies. Thanks for the education and insight.
Do not use SOUKFX!!!!! They took my 50K to under $4,000. Yes, you read that right! They managed to do that in three weeks. Now they do not answer my calls. If you know of anywhere else I can report them, please let me know. They are not an NFA member as they stated.
Kathie thanks for sharing that info with us. I think the best place to let the forex community know would be here:

start a thread there please..or maybe more appropriate perhaps in the forex scams section:

Message for Kathie
I’d love to connect with you about losing money with SOUKFX – I did too – over 100K. They made promises about returns, safety, management, and services that they did not keep and now they don’t return phone calls or emails. Maybe we can help one another in this. Please contact me at: SOUKFXSCAM@gmail.com
Kathie, I never heard about this SOUKFX company you mention. Can you e-mail me more details at the following e-mail address:
alan [the at symbol] alansforexblog dot com
or if you prefer I will e-mail you ….
Ive also been done by this Scam! Except SOUKFX is now called Marketec Capital. They opened up in a new name in 2010 so they could keep running the scam. Murray Grovum is the CEO of Marketec Capital. I lost 150k with these guys and yes once it all went bad they never returned my phone calls or emails. The marketing literature they provided is all lies.
Has nobody sued these guys yet? I bet you though that they registered the firm in some island where foreigners have no legal recourse.
Bill can you go on over to the forexnirvana forum and start a thread about this scam? forex nirvana is available at forexnirvana.com There should be a forex scams section to post in.
Yes they are registered in the British Virgin Islands. Their website is http://www.marketec.co
They try and make out they are a london based company as they give the same address on their website as the broker they use – Hantec Markets.
Ok, then they’re not a “true broker” just a whitelabel for Hantec Market. Either way they’re misrepresenting themselves.
