Go Markets any good for forex?

You missed the point... think about why I would want a swap-free account. Figure that out and you have a very nice little trading strategy :D

ive read the reason why in Adventures of a Currency Trader, i will re-read this weekend so i can re-jig my memory... problem form memory is that you need a large account to make it worthwhile....

Never read the book (just added it to my "books to read list"), but your right about needing a big account. Fortunately, you can jiggle it around a bit to change your risk profile (and ultimately, return). Having a margin account will come in very handy as well, luckily GoMarkets offers up to 300:1 :):)

Definitely a much better strategy then having your money sitting in some "turbo-charged savings" account paying 4% p.a.

My main interest/concern is what kind of size limits are placed on such an account. They also mentioned something about fees....
 
should not have fund the account :(, now I have to make up any profits for possible fee of exit, withdrawal that is. I just have under one buck profit lol. How much is the withdrawal fee ?
 
Just a note for anyone looking for special offers with brokers.

For any new deposits Go Markets will credit your account with a bonus 10%

The bonus can be used to enhance your trading with any profits made going straight into your Go Markets MT4 account.
 
Dont forget to read the fine print though !! ----

The credit is removed from your account one month after they give it to you ---


I wonder if "Go" realise this kind of Indian giver stuff will actually backfire on them ----

Poor marketing, especially considering the state of their platform lately :rolleyes:
 
i sent them an email about it.

saying it makes them look cagey and sneaky, and that it makes me suspicious of them because i have to make sure i read the fine print carefully.

Always pays to be up-front and honest with the customers.

Absolutely Norm -------- and Ditto re the email --- sent one as well --- they need to be informed how punters in Australia perceive being misled.

ps TH was trying out their platform a few weeks back wasnt he?? ---- they've probably had a bad month !! :eek::D
 
good work cartman.

similar point to when they bullsh1tted me the other week.

getting bad information is far worse then getting bad news; or in this case bad information about good news.

quit the spin gomarkets.

bit of a worry actually that they need to spin this crap isnt it ---- i got a reply from them, but dont want to post specific stuff on a public forum ---

generally cods wallop imo !!, -------

i reckon they must be short of money (maybe due to their platform issues ---- and TH cleaning them out !!!!! lol ----- )

---------- offering what seems like a gift to get extra cash into the coffers and then taking it back in a month using subterfuge is a bit of a concern for me ----- seriously considering pulling some cash out ----

perhaps a Rep from "Go" could post here to alleviate concern ??
