How do I open a real forex account on MetaTrader 4? Replied 1 year ago - To open a real MT4 forex account you must do so through your forex brokers portal (via their website or mobile app). MT4 is not equipped with account opening capability. After opening the account, your forex broker will send your login details to your email so do well to check your mail. Take the login details then use it to login on the MT4 platform; the login details will usually contain a server name so ensure to select the correct server as this is crucial. You asked why account opening feature wasn't integrated into MT4, well in my opinion MetaTrader is an open third-party platform used by different brokers so integrating account opening for each broker will require frequent modification of the MetaTrader app, which can affect its stability.

Is Vault Markets Regulated? Replied 1 year ago - From what I see on the Vault Markets website, they are representing another broker that is FSCA regulated. Personally I wouldn't trade with Vault Markets because of this, as they are so many other forex brokers in South Africa to select from who have direct FSCA regulation.

How much does a forex robot cost? Replied 1 year ago - Yes, you can build your own trading bot to execute your trading strategy. If you are using MetaTrader you can code your EA. But I'll come again to the starting point, what is your underlying strategy. The EA will only execute that strategy, but if the strategy is not profitable after paying the brokerage costs, then the bot will not automatically make you money. So, first you have to find a repeatable consistent pattern that you want to automate. What is it? Does it have an edge?

Who Has Traded With JP Markets? Are They Safe? Replied 1 year ago - JP Markets have asked people contesting unclaimed funds submit their application to be paid. I don't know what's going on with JP Markets but why do people have to contest unclaimed funds? Well, tread with caution with this broker is all I would say.

How to avoid forex trading tax in South Africa, how much tax do forex traders pay in South Africa? Replied 1 year ago - I believe the question here is about tax 'avoidance' i.e. legal ways in order to reduce tax liability as a CFD trader. I don't think anyone should be advising on the methods that may not be legal, or could cause legal issues in future for any trader. Also, whenever you are depositing funds at any FSCA regulated broker (or any regulated broker in any region), they will ask you for proof of funding if they find anything shady. And you can only withdraw fund to your method that was source of deposit. You cannot deposit via South African bank & then withdraw via crypto, that's not how it works. My suggestion OP to you is to consult your tax advisor, he/she would be able to give you better advise. What you see on the internet may vary a lot from the actual tax liability, and what you can save on it legally.

Anyone know how to get funding for forex trading? Is it tough to find? Replied 1 year ago - Today, thy are a lot of prop firms that provide funding if you can pass their challenge which you must pay for in fees. Some prop firms charge as high as 100 USD per challenge and every time you fail, you have to pay again. Come to think of it, the money you are going to spend paying for prop firm challenges is enough to put into your account and teach yourself to trade and become profitable over time. Remember that lessons learnt when you lose your own money stay with you longer than lessons learnt when you lose demo account money.

How to trade CPI in forex Replied 1 year ago - Update: The CPI first 15M fade trade was okay today with small SL. The high & low of the first 15M of the CPI news. The Fade move is to take the first opposite PA, which was the Bullish engulfing 5M. The idea is to trade a low SL, so only trade the edges or a break. The other move is to trade a break, where you wait for a break to one side of the 15M.

Is Forex Trading in South Africa Legal Replied 1 year ago - Yes, there are a lot of scam brokers operating illegally in South Africa without any license. ODP licensing does bring oversight on the derivatives at CFD brokers, but as far as I know there is still no investor protection fund in South Africa similar to FSCS in the UK. And if you get scammed by an unlicensed broker, I don't think there is any way to get your funds back, even if you go to the relevant authorities. It is the same in other countries, so I can't say this is a South Africa problem. With regulated brokers, even without investor protection fund, you atleast have the trust that the broker is compliant with checks & balance in place.

Top 10 Richest Forex Traders in South Africa Replied 1 year ago - If you have to pose behind a luxury car to show you are successful trader, then chances are that you are not. Most of these so called richest forex traders in SA, are actually into the business of motivation. They just want to motivate you to buy their courses & keep trading but they are not in any way rich. I believe some forex brokers are paying these guys to market and attract more customers; its no wonder these guys will always recommend a certain broker to you. If at all they have any money, it is the money they get paid by brokers to do this marketing and show off online. That's my opinion though, I stand to be corrected

Which South African Forex Broker Has The Best Modern Tools? Replied 1 year ago - AvaTrade also has great tools although this broker is quite pricy. Their AvaProtect tool refunds you for losses on a trade when activated but you pay for this service. Their Guardian Angel is also another great trading companion for MT4.

Is FXTM Legit in Nigeria? Replied 1 year ago - Online forex trading is not even regulated in Nigeria so every Nigerian forex trader faces a counterparty risk of some sort. Now FXTM has been blacklisted by the Nigerian authorities so you cant even access their website or mobile app. Anybody can emerge and claim to be FXTM at this point thus elevating the risk of fraud. Best bet is to be cautious and look elsewhere.

Is Exness Regulated in South Africa? Replied 1 year ago - As at today, Exness is regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa with FSP license number 51024. The FSCA also granted Exness an Over-the-counter Derivative Provider (ODP) license so that they can act as market makers instead of just being middle men or intermediaries when offering CFDs to clients in South Africa. To confirm for yourself, visit the FSCA website and search the FSP licensees & ODP list.
