Thank you, I really appreciate your help.

Hi mate, thanks for having a look at this. You make very good points. Btw, they charge 2% commission. based on the profits made per trade. This first trade is "free". They're recommending Yamana, offering their "institutional buy price", 15.75, instead of 16.13 ... Looks like they may be...

Hm, I fear you're right, but here's their website: Royal Platinum Finance

How do you know? What experience do you have with them?

Hi Anybody know anything about a broker called Royal Platinum Finance? They cold-called me with a recommendation. Sounds good, always does, doesn't it...? But anybody have any actual experience with these guys? Thanks.

Well, I've been subscribed to their service since the beginning of September. The results so far have been very poor. Most trades go wrong and those few that go right don't outweigh the losses. I am no longer trading their recommendations, but simply following them on a test basis to see how my...

Hi Regarding a forex trading account, I'd like to know what the "best practice" is for choosing one's account currency. I assumed, living in the UK, that I should choose GBP. But now I'm not so sure anymore. So many calculations, for example for direct rate pip values, are based on the USD...

Good points. I will report back on my experience with FP.

Thank you for your extensive answer - much appreciated!

Hi - thanks for replying! I have now signed up with them and will see how it goes. I noticed a bit late that they are very heavy on mining and Australian shares, but hey, we'll see. May I ask if you use another source for investment/trading recommendations?

I too am curious about FP. Anybody with experience out there?
