LiteForex Rebate Program

Friday, August 15th, 2008

I just thought I’d let all you traders know that LiteForex, one of the forex brokers that I use, recently launched a rebate program whereby customers will receive a rebate (bonus) on all bank deposits. The main reason why I like and use LiteForex is that they’re one of the few forex brokers that […]

I haven’t opened my Marketiva trading terminal in such a long time so on a spur of the moment sort of thing I decided to run it and to my surprise I was greeted with a shiny new look complete with transparency effects and a slightly different shade of blue.

AleccohFX Declares Bankruptcy

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I just heard that AleccohFX just declared bankruptcy. Many people (including me) had high hopes for this broker. For a while it looked like it was the only non ECN broker that genuinely cares about traders and wasn’t looking to screw them over. Well, the story of its demise is a long one so I […]

Connecting MetaTrader 4 to an ECN Broker

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Let’s face it, the majority if not all forex brokers that support the MetaTrader 4 platform are pure bucketshops.
