Micro-lots possible for US residents now?

[alaydin]

我仍在使用IBFX作為經紀人進行演示，但我希望能在幾個月後上線（至今已連續3個月盈利並仍在學習）。

I'm hearing a lot about new regulations restricting leverage for US residents. Does that mean that I can no longer trade micro/mini lots?

我想從一年的初始投資開始，大約一年$ 1000，然後再將更多的資金存入真實帳戶，並想知道新規則是否仍然可行。

Anyone else out there like me, in the US, trading with a small live account? Who's your broker?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MIG is not a broker first of all, they are a BANK.

Even worse if 10% what I read about them is true. This line on their disclaimer is a little odd too During extremely volatile market situations, MIG BANK reserves the right to increase spreads or margin requirements, and to take steps to impose procedures or restrictions that it #8211; in its sole discretion - sees fit source=

Thanks for the tip! I've never heard of MIG to be honest with you so I started to read the reviews on Forexpeacearmy and they seem pretty scary. Hate it when people say their money disappeared and the broker plays dumb. Just too many bad reviews overall to think that MIG is on the up and up.

MIG首先不是經紀人，而是銀行。

Why wouldn't one go with MIG when they are similar in every respect to Dukas but offer 500:1 leverage!!!

I'm live with DUkas for fund safety, but their 30:1 over weekends if you hold your positions is a real bummer I must say.

And, you are living in a fools paradise if you think 50:1 is the last we have heard on this. It is only a matter of time before that is lowered significantly IMHO. Don't believe me, see the history of how this was reduced from 200:1 to 50:1 in a year.

200? it was 400-500 not very long ago at all. They wanted 10. They compromised and gave 50. And obviously it's driving some brokers out anyway. Per the news a few days ago about rampant insider trading in the capital I suspect they all have 100,000 floating around to trade on their own, so why would they understand leverage? look how good the economy is doing altogether. I want to see someone ask at the next press conference, if there ever will be one, define supply chain. Sounds like the CT senate debate on how to create a job.

不必要。您仍然可以使用50：1快速建立帳戶。如果您有一個高度準確的，可靠的資金管理系統，那麼您就不會受到影響。

I didn't say it is impossible, it is a steeper climb. If you have a solid egy, any leverage is good enough. But, the problem is, whatever the egy, there are only so many trades that you come across and can take. And the profit potential is significantly reduced because of the number of lots you can trade.

You can still trade with a small capital in micro or mini. But it's going to be a much steeper climb with the lower leverage.

not necessarily. You can still build your account pretty fast with 50:1. If you have a solid egy that is highly accurate and good money management then you shouldn't be affected.
