U.S. Broker Choices (FXCM Orphan)

[BJNN]

Typical conspiracy theory... other large brokers like IB have not gone out of business!

the lowering of leverage to 1:50 for retail traders was implemented for a good reason! to reduce the "Gambling" nature of this game!
Without such regulations crazy leverage like 1:500 would work to the benefit of brokers...
One can consider Exchange Traded Currency Futures , still get some leverage and all the advantage of being trading on an Exchange:smart:

IB is not accepting US forex traders, with some exception.

But basically, it is not a broker for normal US forex retails traders.

any hours of research, trying to figure out which broker I will go with. I find that there are 2 choices - Gain Capital/Forex.com or Oanda.

I have been with Oanda in the past, it was ok
Now forex.com is a path to trouble. I am their unhappy customer. God knows, I was patient. Developed scripts to work around their issues. But no, impossible to be successful with them. I posted some of my experiences here:

Forex.com (Gain) ???

Anyone using Forex.com/Gain Capital? Input on your experience would be helpful. I have read several reviews that talk about how profitable clients are quickly terminated. I will be a profitable client and don't need this hassle. Is it true or just disgruntled losers? Oanda's reviews are not...
