What's so bad about Forex.com?

Once and for all, what's so bad about Forex.com ??? I was on a certain "other" Forex site with reviews, and there were about a hundred reviews on Forex.com, about 7 of them gave Forex.com 5 out of 5 stars, their explanations were heartfelt and sincere. The other reviews that said SCAM, usually came with explanations that gave me the impression well, these people are just bitter they made bad trades and lost their money. But what about the rest of these issues that other reviewers brought up such as:

1. no end of problems with stopouts
2. large out of nowhere spikes
3. news constantly arriving late
4. graphs freezing right before big announcements
5. Manual rate execution is awful
6. They will almost always pocket 1 or 2 pips before trading against you.
7. Everytime you excute an order they hedge you.
8. they use thier massive bank credits and connections to pile one against thier "clients" trade and clean you out.
9. They pick your stops and buffer your profit targets.
10. It seems about 30% of the time it will take a dive on you.

79. no execution of orders when the market goes in your direction
80. stoploss hunting big time
81. when winning, they start manipulating the price to force you to liquidate

Now, I don't agree with what these people have said, I'm of the opinion most of these might be fake reviews. I would like to hear some real people give their opinion about Forex.com before I put money into them. Can anyone dispel any of those bad comments above?

[PipAHolic]

I use them too. Listen, I'm sure problems will occur with any broker, that doesn't mean they're out to get you. DId you get this from Forex Bastards' website of "reviews" ... ha ... that site needs reviews of the reviews, watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWmyYDJn5P0

Also keep in mind they might have had some sort of deal with Forex.com's competitors. My guess is the broker that gets the most reviews and has 5 stars is the one who's in bed with them.

[Mike]

Ok BuyHigh, first off let me say the answer of the question of which broker to choose is an elusive one. Forex.com is has been around for a few years without going defunct which in itself is a plus, considering how many brokers are throwing in the towel. But alot of the allegations presented in those comments you copied can be chalked up to bitterness being felt by a losing trader, like you suggested. But the other comments, I really can't prove that those things didn't happen to those people like they said. At the same rate, if you ran in my front door yelling that you were accosted by a 3 foot Martian, it may sound ridiculous, but I can't disprove you. Keep that in mind. The best we can hope for is someone from Forex.com being given a platform from which they can defend themselves against the comments. As they are presented, there's no way for them to react to the comments and from the video PipAHolic showed us, some reviews don't make it to the page there... so I don't know if I can answer your overall question.

Personally, i could go through that whole list and let you know if any of those things have happened to me... at quick glance, I can say, mostly no. I trade with Forex.com, I've been down 100 pips before, lost 1000's, but I also have been up 100's of pips, made thousands, and so goes the cycle, and I can either cry about that or come back strong and make up those pips. My losing trades I almost always see my mistake, it's virtually always my fault for either going against the trend trying for some swing trades (which obviously I am not a pro at) or me being too greedy not exiting a position when I should as I try to squeeze out extra pips, I've actually lost pips as a result of this.

There might well be a delay in reporting the bid ask price, but it's never worked against me and forced me to lose pips. For good measure, I always have another chart program running on my faster computer which does display the rates faster (i.e. more movements between pips) but you have to understand, in volatile times, it can go from lets say 110 to 111 back and for 30 times before it breaks either way. I've noticed Forex.com's platform doesn't catch every single one of these movements, its major flaw in my opinion when comparing it to other platforms. But I've certainly never noticed executing an order at one level, then exiting, then finding myself unable to exit, or out X amount of pips. The only time I've been stopped out right after executing an order was all my fault, the market moved against me abruptly, and to think there's people out there that get bitter over a movement against them boggles my mind... even me, trading Forex a little less than 2 years, I've seen deviations in trends that made me sit up and pray for the poor dumb b*stard that was in that position during the spike. Why should you be immune to that happening to you? That right there eliminates half of the negative comments made about Forex.com in that list.

There's more on the list, we can keep discussing it. I'd like to hear some real people give opinions and maybe we can get to the bottom of all of these allegations.

[Mike]

I'd like to add that this is sort of important for Forex.com, because if you Google "Forex.com SCAM" the page Buy High got these from is very high in the results... and since the negative comments far outweigh the positive ones, this might be affecting their business (good or bad).

[LCW-FX]

someone should edit this poll and add INDIFFERENT as an option, simply because I had a practice account with them with $50,000 in it, and overnight I made $20,000, and was so excited I had to try it with real money, and I lost all of that money... but I think that was completely my fault, I just didnt have an understanding of the market AND how much easier it is to trade with $50,000 AND tighter spreads AND more leverage, something you cant get with an account that's less than 10k

so my experience with Forex.com was officially a wash, not good, not bad. does that help?

[Marcus_Aurelius]

The part about the live trading desk can actually work against you. That's why brokers like FXCM are just a wiser choice.

don't listen to the bad reviews, total rubbish, i use forex.com for long time, no problemhere

Well, you can't just dismiss the bad reviews, we just don't know if they're real or not, maybe they are. I'll concede that it's somewhat foolhearty to think you can make a killing in Forex (at Forex.com in particular) with less than $10,000 (which would get you their better membership) and spreads that are no lower than 3 and go up to 11 (which are also lowered after $10,000). So perhaps some of those reviews are by people who thought too much of their limited skills about Forex, trying to use a platform which is indeed slower than a straight e-signal feed. But just because it's slower, doesn't mean it's a conspiracy. Forex.com advertises on CNBC, MSNBC, and some other cable channels every day, they must get 100's of new customers every week, to think there's a room filled with nasty trolls sitting there manipulating the software to go against you in particuar exists only in the part of your imagination that wants to blame everyone else except yourself for your failiures, not to mention it sounds quite Orwellian. I'm not defending Forex.com, I have no need to, I'm just telling you from first hand experience, I've made money and lost money with them and never noticed anything suspicious.

[Crist]

That's true. As a result of higher spreads, you'll be forced to trade only the majors in an attempt to maximize profitability. Not to mention, swing trading is out, you'll need to enter into longer trades.

[BillClay]

I made close to $30,000 in one night with their demo account. Opened up a real accont and lost $1000. was it my fault? whose to say

[mk3fx]

I've used Forex.com without incident, made extra money, but switched to a broker with lower spreads. But they never screwed me, I'm sure of it.

[Mike]

Made $500 in 2 days @ Forex.com this week, no stop loss hunting, no frozen platform, just straight pip earning. Believe it or not, Forex.com's platform was quoting GBP/USD faster than e-signal which I had running on a nearby machine. So, I honestly haven't gotten "screwed" by Forex.com ever, or as of yet

[RITZ]

i never had a problem with Forex.com, they must have a lot of customers, don't expect one on one attention all the time, but I never found it necessary whatsoever

[McPott]

oh man, i wouldn't trust a single thing on Forex Peace Army, all those reviews are a response to the overwhelming publicity Forex.com gets (not to mention the ultimate .com), leaving you with no other option (psycologically) other than to pick brokers they probably have side deals with, like Oanda (allegedly).

[DickP]

Forex.com (GAIN) has analysts on Bloomberg, commercials on respected businsess stations, tens of millions of dollars in equity... they must be a huge scam... (sense my sarcasm). Now, I'm not saying appearing on TV disqualifies you from fraudulence, but in the business world, why would the worst broker expose themselves time and time again? I never see any other broker Forex Peace Army has 5 stars for on TV, or their in house experts giving opinions to millions around the world... but I don't want to turn this into a pissing contest, I don't care either way what people do with their money no matter how much it pains me to see Forex in general get a bad wrap.

It may be profitable for some schemers out there to get you to deposit your hard earned cash in a brokerage that is designed to make you lose all of it, and your gains are wiped out. The reviews on Felix's website make you believe Forex.com is one of them. Sure they have a dealing desk, but that doesn't mean there's a team of people sitting there making the market go against you personally. But, conversely, wouldn't it be more profitable for a broker to faciliate an environment in which your traders keep earning more and more money, trade more lots, and in turn, increase the profit you the broker see? What's more profitable, scamming someone out of $1000 one time (opening yourself up to legal problems), or legally scraping off 3 pips on every trade they make for a year or two, especially if these people scalp and make 10 trades every day, whether they win or lose you still make $30-50 per day (at least) off of that one person.

I think this almost settles it, for such an "exposed" company, it would be foolish to set up a scam that customers can easily catch on to, and record a video in real time how they got cheated, like I said, GAIN never gave me a single problem outlined in BUY HIGH's list from Forex Peace Army, if they had, I'd do exactly what I just suggested.

66. Feel the crushing blows of swaps every day THE CRUSHING BLOWS OF SWAPS WHEN YOU HAVE OPEN LOSING POSITIONS, HOW IS ANY OTHER BROKER DIFFERENT?
67. Trade during the news and never be able to enter the market NEVER REALLY? EVER? ANOTHER OPINION
68. their platform...really is dull DULL? UNEDUCATED OPINION
69. delays in withdrawals from the account I HAVE MADE 3 WITHDRAWLS, NEVER WAITED MORE THAN 10 BUSINESS DAYS (AS PROMISED)
70. Charting software has gone down several times in the past 3 months. COULD BE JUST YOU... WHY WOULD YOU ONLY USE THEIR CHARTS ANYWAY?
71. The software is a bit slow in updating your account information. NOT TRUE, DEPOSITED FUNDS ARE INSTANTLY THERE
72. stuck with a minimum 10 pip trailing stop/loss...you cannot make it smaller! OK

77. Unfilled orders, liquidating your position when you are winning! PROOF? BEYOND THIS BANTER?
78. cannot exit a trade when the market moves against you SIMPLY UNTRUE, I'VE ALWAYS LIQUIDATED WHERE i WANT TO IF THE MARKET GOES AGAINST ME OR FOR ME
79. no execution of orders when the market goes in your direction
80. stoploss hunting big time
81. when winning, they start manipulating the price to force you to liquidate



Basically what Felix's comments are telling you up there are that Forex.com is a scam, Forex.com lets you into trades, if the trade goes in your way, you can not get out until it goes against you making it impossible to make money. Then he goes on to say that when the market goes against you, you can't exit the order either. Then he goes on to say they're always skimming an extra pip off the top of your profits...

Is anyone keeping track here? How can you get a pip skimmed off your winning trades when Forex.com never lets you win? How can you get a winning trade when you're locked out frmo ordering or your platform "shuts down" every time before you make an order?

Tell me why I withdrew $4000 last month without a hitch and 150 jaggoffs (or one big jaggoff making 150 comments) has so many problems with Forex.com? Could it have something to do with the fact they are your friends' main competitor in the Forex market that you pulled out all the stops (including being honest) to try and bring Forex.com down? I think so.

It sounds like he tried to trade the news with them, they frequently tried to do something adverse to his account, maybe increase his spread or leverage as a result.. and now he's bitter, allowing for 150+ negative comments about them without a single positive comment. I can believe people trust Forex Bastards, its a really nice site that looks like many people have given their reviews on Forex brokers and signal services, but when you look closely at the comments, its all opinions, hot air, and usually filled with contradictions... as i've pointed out above.
