Anybody knows about Canada Investtechfx forex broker? (http://www.investtechfx.com/). They provide very low spread (1 pip). I have been demo-trading for two weeks and have very promising results. But their customer service (and their website) is very poor. But anyway, the spread is very attractive... Please comment

Hi miracle. I've been working with them for 5 months, and so far no problem including withdrawals. Their spreads are very low and more than this, spreads are fixed whatever the hour is.
As you said, their web site is poor but quality of their service is outstanding when you compare to the other brokers.
The firm is regulated and there's a bank (Globex Interbank) behind them. In fact Globex Interbank offers forex service under the name of Investtechfx.

Globex Inter Bank is an investment bank, not a "regular" commercial bank.
This means different regulation, etc. Not saying you shouldn't do business
with them (or should), just be careful.

Their website says this under scalping - terms and conditions:
Scalping fee of $10 per lot applies.

If you use them, does this mean an extra charge for scalping?

Just wondering ... are you live or demo? And if live, how long have you been running FAPTurbo with them?

I'm trading on a live account. I've been running fabturbo just for two days but results are incredible.

Since spreads are so low, fabturbo is performing very well.

Beautiful! Thanks grandaevus, definately helpful.. applied for an account.... only thing pisses me off now is that instead of running 2 live accts, i can just run 1 live acct per lisc. on FapTurbo.. i sent them an email as I would rather get 2 live accts per lisc than unlimited demos and live.. reason being, ive see difference in spread and order fulfilment time! Hence, to me, demo is pretty useless! I'd rather go live with small amounts and test

Thanks for all the info grandaevus :)

Did you open a scalping account (option 7) or did you go with one of the other options?

shohami
12-12-2008, 04:53 PM
I don't think the FapTurbo scalper really does "scalping" as InvestTechFX might
consider it. For them, it's probably scalpers taking advantage of the 1 pip spread
to make many trades that take a few seconds. FapTurbo doesn't do that, and its
trades take a few minutes, sometimes more. I don't think that would be considered
"scalping" in a "bad" way for brokers. They have time to cover themselves on those trades.

Their web site is very poor. May be one of the worst sites I've ever seen. You can't find many data for fundemantals like withdrawals, fixed spreads, etc.

Before funding, I made a lot of tel. conversation with them.

For withdrawals,
They can send it to either your credit card or paypal account.
Tested a couple of times, no problem so far.

For fixed spreads,
I watch the market during the night time.
Spreads aren't rised even for one second.

shohami
12-13-2008, 02:10 AM
So you did manage to make withdrawals ? Good.

I found some articles in Israeli news websites reporting about a scam of two Israelis concerning
InvesttechFX and Globex Inter Bank. I can't understand from the articles if the scammers
created those two entities, or just claimed to be their representatives in Israel. Trying
to find more information. The fact that you were able to pull out funds is encouraging.

From what I understand, the scammers just claimed to be representatives of the two
entities, and took people's money.

Still, I'd be careful with those unregulated brokers, connected to unregulated investment banks.

grandaevus

Rule of 3-4 pips is ONLY for EURGBP!

I know secret, but in my opinion any spread greater than 2-3 is a killer.

My trading strategy depends on trading on the right pair on the right time. And low spread & leverage is the key in forex market.

Losing an opportunity is always better than losing your capital.

I agree, 3 max. Investtechfx was my first choise 10 days ago, because of spreads but Iam little afraid regarding withdrawals, we all know that FAPT scalper is "money machine" so...what if they stop paying? Meh..u cant be sure with any broker these days :p

grandaevus
12-13-2008, 07:55 AM
I asked the same question to Alan Green , from customer relationship, investtechfx.

He said, they are brokers not market makers. So whether you're trading with an inteligent ea or you're scalping, they're not interested at all.

They're a registered firm in Canada, but Shohami has called attention to a good point about their regulations.

I've sent an email and asked whether they're licensed and certificated by reliable groups, like ARIF and Swiss Federal Department of Financethey or not.

I withdrew money a couple of times, no problem so far.

As far as I know, using EAs are not illegal. If your trader platform is MT4, then users are free to use any Ea that they want.

But when you start to make a good profit, I don't really know what they'll do.

I've decided to withdraw my profit every month and just left the capital there.

So it wouldn't attract attention.

I hope. :)

Standart procedure.

They ask the copy of your passport or id card and a copy of your latest credit card statement.

It takes one/two days to open an account.

A rebate off a 1 pip spread ?
I guess any IB working with them would have to raise the spread for
them to give any kind of rebate. So you'll pay double spread, then get
10% rebate, doesn't sound too good.

Read the testimonials on the investtechfx site - in every case you will observe : the same style of writing, same grammatical errors, same slightly stilted command of language.
Ergo - all written by the same person.
They can't even afford two ghost writers to lend credence to the idea that this is a respectable/reliable broker.
When I read about their 1 or 2 pip spreads, my first thought was "Too good to be true ..." and that's usually the case.
I've spent entire days researching brokers - looking for a company that provides decent spreads and does not stand accused of the usual dirty tricks associated with forex broking.
I'm still looking, but am losing hope that such a mythical beast exists.
Dealing desk brokers have a strong incentive to 'tilt the machine' when traders show consistent profits.
ECN brokers employ obscene spreads during the 'scalping window'.
Has anyone with a live a/c at InvestTechFX withdrawn more than their original deposit?

Thanks Maxtrader - an ECN with NDD and MT4 and reasonable spreads is the optimum - provided they are regulated by NFA/FSA etc.
It seems obvious to me - that if some brokers are able to offer narrow spreads - then they all can ... unless narrow spread equates to dealer intervention/cheating.
I would like to think that there is at least one regulated ECN/NDD/MT4 broker (with reasonable spreads) who has no interest in the outcome of any trades.
Let me know how the ATC demo goes.

there are regulated on Bahamas. The minimum to open an account is $5000
the minimum lot is 1.0 (as they are ECN)
They are good if you can afford.

wait a second, they closed your account without your consent? As for not letting you trade now it could be that you have insuficient margin to open positions..this is the most likely scenario.

Check this thread out:

By the looks of that Investtechfx is not even a real Canadian forex broker but merely a "front" for some Los Angeles run operation.

Hi clolab, I suppose it will be wise to allow Iren22 to answer for him/her self.

Iren22 Are you talking about tgmfx or ITFX?

if you ever want to see your money again you may not want to invest with them.
i made too much money trading with them and they will not allow me to withdraw some of the profits.
it is like going to the bank and being told you have too much
money in the account, so you can not take any out.
beware!
of all the brokers that i have used - for forex
or for stock trading investtechfx is the worst

I have sent them a withdraw notice for $ 500 usd to my paypal account ( from which I have made the deposit), they wrote back that my request is in process. Few days later still no money I wrote them again, then they said that I have made some standard trades on my mini account and refused to send me the 500 USD. On Dec 1st 2009 I had 2 open positions of trading, that day they closed both positions without any explanations with a loss of -290.00 (in my account at that point had free margin over 2200 USD). I wrote to them that I want to close my account immediately and withdraw all the funds. They wrote me back that they offer me $ 500 USD and close my account. I said NO, they offered 800 USD, I said NO and I wanted me to see all my trades in details describing my ''supposed illegal trades'' then the offer was 1000 usd. I said NO, I was still demanding explanation how they get to 1000 USD from 2200 USD. Never got a answer or explanation, I wrote to BBB in Canada, but nothing happened yet. So I just want to get my funds and close the account simply. In your opinion this legal and they have all the rights to offer me only a fraction of the funds? (even sending me detailed explanations how they get to 1000 USD from 2200 USD?)
Any suggestion/opnion is welcomed since I'm new to forex trading, also I can forward all email commnunications between me and InvesttechFX if anyone interested.
Almost all communications stopped from them, and so far I have not received any of my money yet.
Is this legal? or can I do anything about it? As far I'm considering they are a scam broker and just want to warn other potential and current investors.
Stay away from InvesttechFX, they are a scam broker, I have a prof to show.

Thank you Lenka
