    Suggesting to you Finfx. Really straightforward. I know several US traders who have been for quite a while using them. Taxes are not any problem if you're honest and report your results. It is not necessary to say at which you're trading. I know that it's hard to think, and I won't be checking back to re-discuss, but I am only reporting the outcomes of taxation filing with TurboTax online, which I HUGELY advise that you attempt, if you're in the USA. Not just for FOrex, but for speed, precision, simplicity, and loads .

    By taking a trip outside the USA. Well, thats the very legitimate means to do it anyway . To open an account in most brokerages, you will need a gov't issued local id with photo along with a bank statement or any utility bill or other evidence of residence. And you also send them through scanned pdf or picture file attachment. You may have to receive them notorized or certified to be authentic documents. Apparently, you'd need to select places that are friendly towards people. Mexico are a great place to begin; its right next door. Columbia, Thailand, Malaysia....the sky is your limit. Places such as Iran or perhaps Canada should be averted; you don't want to maintain a place that's as strict or more strict than where you're leaving.

    The vital thing is to avoid getting scammed by people trying to market accounts or offshore providers. This is best accomplished by being on the floor (from the desirable country) with other expats, backpackers, etc and receive thoughts and create direct observations. It might just cost you a plane ticket, visa (if applicable) along with a bit for food and lodging. But if you're serious enough about your trading company, it's worth the trip.

    PM are more appropriate for particulars, but that is more than enough to begin.

    which brokers? I only know of 1: instaforex along with the 1:1000 leverage is up to $1000. . .afterwards it's 1:600. The majority of other brokers 1:500 is max.

    Ironically, CME futures EuroDollar contract (maybe not EuroFX) has leverage between 1:1250 and 1:2500....and this may DOUBLE for brokers who offer 50% or greater day trading margins; many discount futures brokers offer this.

    New brokers are sprouting up across the caribbean that aren't giving into harassment in the CFTC minions. They are simply thugs. Anyway I would not need to make it simpler for the thugs by submitting the broker names , but will PM those.

    Exness offers 1:2000, which I think isn't only irresponsible and reckless, but completely evident of a broker with no regard for the fiscal well-being or achievement of their clientele.

    (Don't think exness opens US accounts because it relates to the thread's topic.)

    Also, EuroDollar futures at the CME are an interest rate , not a currency contract. So that the leverage there isn't very comparable. They adjust required margins all the time based on volatility and risk, and the exact same consideration that goes into other contracts with greater required margins (says something about the underlying and how it trades.)

    It's money settled (no physical delivery), but it does not matter what kind of product we are speculating here.

    Futures has traditionally experienced huge amounts of gearing regularly exceeding 1:50 in the exchange level depending upon the product traded, in addition to the broker has total discretion on what added leverage they could provide their customers depending on how the broker assesses customer risk. Each of the customer had to do was sign'additional risk disclosures' and all was fine, no demand in the regulatory level to induce leverage restrictions. No analyses from any regulatory body or complaints in the trading area about insane leverage provided by futures brokerages.

    However, the CFTC did not leave this up to retail forex brokers or traders to pick for themselves. They lacked a single size fits all caps on all forex brokers at 50:1, despite widespread public outcry against this. But segregated accounts for forex traders that would provide accurate [legal] protection of customer funds? No time. But hey....50:1 leverage has made the USA retail forex community https://www.forexsoutheast.asia/fore...ts-broker.html.

    Thanks for the suggestion on exness, although on closer inspection, they restrict the leverage to 1:200 5 hours prior to the weekend close and on the weekend.

    EuroFX on CME currently requires $3300 for an overnight position a contract, approximately 38:1 and futures brokers are not permitted to supply lower margins than the trade minimum. Some supply lower margins intradayup to 250:1 tho.

    I did not say it was not. . I said it was an interest rate based future, not a currency future.

    You are not trading something derived from a currency value, you're trading the LIBOR tied interest rate yield on a three month time deposit. That's why you can get such high leverage in Eurodollar contracts, so it's a completely different product than the EuroFX contracts.

    Heck, the Eurodollar contracts are even denominated and settled in USD, so there isn't even currency risk involved.

    In the CME, and participants are playing by the very same rules.

    Position FX is OTC, and trading requirements vary between brokers since they deal with customers, again between liquidity providers and banks, and then again between different ECN networks linking them all.

    While I do not always fully agree with the CFTC/NFA regulations set up, I really do see the need for them.

    It was not really a tip since I would not advise trading together. I do not usually recommend brokers controlled by CySEC, and I do not like their business practices (the leverage they market is one huge part of it)

    There's no good broker will provide us leverage more than 1:100, I can not imagine the is an adequate broker who gives us 1:1000 leverage, if he did then leverage is no a real leverage and our orders does not pass to the inter bank, all of the process is going to be a simulation and in case we made a high profit we will got nothing!

    Try finfx and see if they will accept you That the leverage is 200:1
