Hey Folks,
I've recently gotten some useful information from the forum, and it's helped me a bunch, so i'm looking to give a little back as far as actionable information.
So in my current day job, i'm a relatively well known economist and Head of Research for a mid-tier foreign exchange broker. I've seen plenty of shady behavior and unethical actions right across the spectrum from retail traders to wholesale liquidity services. I've largely seen the trade flow from `inside' and know most of the tricks that brokers use to screw you out of your account balance if you are not STP ( and even sometimes then!).
I am also very well aware of what goes on as far as Introducing Brokers and the broader business of making money at FX and dealing with licensing issues around the world.
So feel free to ask me anything and if i'm able/willing I will provide you the inside scoop.
Admin, please feel free to message me if you would like to verify me.
Couple of ground rules:
1. Please no PM's because i'm not selling anything
2. I will not name the company I work with...read above.
3. I will not do any consulting/provide any financial or investment advice.
4. I cannot and will not recommend any FX brokers.
