When I had my positions open over the weekend THEY INCREASED THE MARGIN TO 4%. I WAS WIPED OUT. BASTARDS! I’m changing brokers. |
14 December 2006 | profxtrader | Saxo Bank
Oh yeah man, that 4% weekend margin is such a scam, one of the biggest scams on the forex market. Another that does something similar is Realtimeforex, they increase margin requirements to 2.5% at night!! So they can cover themselves for the rollovers. fuckers. Saxobank just gives good image and profits from being a bank but lets get real, their shit sucks besides the fact that they offer other products than forex... I left them already a few months ago. |

Not a bank, just by name.. Try to send some funds and see if you can get interest. Not a chance.
This is a bucketshop of worst kind, and a marketmaker against you. They will quote special prices against you. Which they also state in their EULA they have the right to do. |
15 January 2007 | MarkFx | Saxo Bank
Absolutely the best bank on the market...Very vast range of products and Instant prices on Forex. The platform has been winning the best award for the past five years. Recommended A++++++ |

\"When I had my positions open over the weekend THEY INCREASED THE MARGIN TO 4%. I WAS WIPED OUT. BASTARDS! I’m changing brokers.\" Bastards, eh? If you have spent even 5 minutes reviewing their website you would know that they up the margin over the weekend AND...AND when liquidity dries up. Mr. Phil Mickel.. you don\'t know jack I am sick and tired of people like you and ProfxTrader posting garbage and confusing everyone...i hope your accounts blow up fast |

Yeah Zak, accounts do blow up fast with Saxo, not yours of course because you work there and have never traded in your life. Saxo has bad conditions, end of story. Requotes and cheap margin scams are not to be expected from a bank, but from a bucketshop scandinavian bank...sure why not. |

Many of the comments here are completely wrong. The margin increasing at weekend was clearly signalled. In any case it no longer happens. When the market is moving very rapidly do you really expect a window on your computer relayed by god knows how many other computers to instantly reflect what is happening at Saxo? That said quote box requotes are not that common in my experience....and all i am talking about here is that is at these times it comes back for you to have another go....and you get in. The box changes colour when the market is moveing fast to show you it is requoting. I have never seen a limit fail to fill on a spike to my advantage. And never seen a stop missed by more than a couple of pips. I have the impression that people who write on these boards no nothing of the realities of retail forex. Service is excellent. Placing stops can be very very difficult in a fast market and there are other issues related to wanting to profit in fast markets about speed of access to change existing instructions and so forth. It could be better but it could be much much worse. Is there better somewhere? |

These Saxo guys are not bad, just annoying: One can't place a stop unless there is 20 pips between it and the current quote. Nor can one use all their money to leverege up - only about 70 percent of it. If you leverege close to the limit, but still below it, you may get a call to reduce or close the position. And lastly, you will get a constant barrage of news whether you want it or not - the chat window can't be turned off. Other than that, they seem to be on the level. |

I thought this bank/broker was a serious one but it badly screws you.
Today alone I made a profit of $30K on a long GPDUSD position. Soon after I received a shocking email from a saxo bank representative called Erdal saying that THEY ARE CHANGING MY TRADES!!!!!!!!!
I EARNED THIS PROFIT FAIR AND SQUARE (IN SPITE OF ALL THE SAXO SLIPPAGE AND REQUOTES) AND NOW SAXO BANK IS SIMPLY WIPING OUT MY PROFITS, AND IS IN ADDITION THREATENING ME OF I DON'T KNOW WHAT...
THIS IS THE BIGGEST SCAM IN THE WORLD.
Here's the email I received from them:
"Dear xxxx,
We have changed your trades on GBPJPY and GBPUSD as these trades were speculative and done after an announcement. We see speculative trades after announcements as illegal and would advise you to stop this behavior immediately. Otherwise we would need to take further action.
Best regards,
Erdal

Dude,
Sorry to hear that you had to get burned like that.
I got out of there when those fUUUckers fished my stops!!!!! Friday afternoon you better not even trade. The margin call shoots up to 4%. They must spend the whole weekend laughing with the extra bucks made.
I only lost around 4 thousand EUR, but I learned my lesson well.
My friends and business partners are advised about this SuX-o-bank

They are great. Offering multiple products. You can get access to a forex board which is much more easy to use than any other competitor in the market. |

Hi there,
This review is related to saxo and forexwebtrader together, I gave a scam to saxo because that decision was taken by saxo bank
Here is the review
Stay awaaaay from this group of mafia members called Forexwebtrader and god Father Saxo bank
I had been with this company since Apr 2007 and when I was trading the news with their platform and when I found that there execution is good I decided to open another account with them. Last month after more than two month trading I asked to withdraw money from one of my account and then I got this e mail after one week
Your request to withdraw funds from your account is still being processed by Finexo and its business partner - Saxo Bank.
The reason for this delay is that we have reason to believe that exploitative strategies such as 'sniping' were employed in the account. For details please see section 4.12 of Finexo's General Business Terms.
We shall reply to you shortly following further investigation.
And I looked at this Section 4.12 and it says
4.12. Trading strategies aimed at exploiting errors in prices (commonly known as “sniping”) are not accepted by Finexo Global Investments Ltd.. If Finexo Global Investments Ltd., at its sole discretion in good faith, determines that Client is taking advantage or attempting to take advantage of such misquotes or is performing other forms of abusive trading, Finexo Global Investments Ltd. is entitled to take one or more of the following countermeasures: i Adjust the price spreads available to the Client; ii Restrict the Client’s access to streaming, instantly tradable quotes, including providing manual quotation only; iii Retrieve from the Client’s account any historic trading profits that have been gained through such abuse of liquidity – as determined by the bank in its sole discretion in good faith – at any time during the client relationship; and/or iv Terminate the client relationship immediately by giving written notice.
If you look at this statement which is not related at all to the news trading and I already have a proof for almost 85% of the trading that I got the same price plus or minus 2 pips from other two platforms with the same prices as I got from forexwebtrader which proof that I never got a wrong prices like they mention in the statement and I got several messages in several cases says (price is too old. try again) which also give the evidence that there system never give a wrong price with me and I got around 50 trades within the last two month ….could anybody believe that any system give 50 wrong prices in 60 days??????? Then they should go out of business because they don’t deserve to be professional.
And if you read the statement again you will realize that they just write the statement to be fogy and flexible to accuse anybody who gained profits with this accusation without giving any definition for sniping act means.
Then I got this e mail
After having investigated the situation of your two accounts, we, together with Saxo Bank, have established that the entire activity of your accounts (profits and losses) were acts of 'sniping'. We are therefore annuling all trades made in these accounts and returning the original deposit in accordance with your contract.
Your accounts have now been frozen.
The refunds will be made within the next few days and our Client Service Director will be in touch with you tomorrow.
Elon Bezalely
Finally they stole around $20,000 from me and $30,000 from my wife and we will go back after them all the way and we have all the proof of our profits and proof of right prices we got and I got also contact from another trader they stole also around $17,500 from his account also and we all will complain against Forexwebtrader BaFan in Germany and saxo bank in NFA in USA. And if we didn’t get our money we also going to sue them in British virgin island and I start to contact a lawyer there to be ready since they stole around $67,000 and it worth to go all the way for it.
Finally I read the statement wrote by Michael Primus - Marketing Director - ForexWebTrader.com, Duesseldorf, Germany
He wrote: This trader's deposit was returned to him in full - which we feel is more than fair”
So I want to ask him…to refund the trader deposit in this case is consider for you as a more than fair…so what about if your company treat him with your just fair treatment not (more than fair)….what are you going to do with him and what do you used to do with other traders….take there fund also???????
My advice to all traders that go away as far as you can from this company and the god father Saxo bank because you will lose you money and time and you will get you original fund after more than month like me and maybe they will treat you next time with their fair treatment and take you fund.
Note: if anybody wants to have a look at the statements and trades history reports I had with them, just send me an email to hesham_ha@yahoo.com and I’ll send it to you as
an attachments.

Platform is excellent. No requotes, no spikes, pretty fair pricing all in all. Slippage is a bit of an annoyance as it only works one way, i.e against you, never in your favour.
I'm not a news trade, I trade short-term trades anywhere from 20 minutes to 2-3 days, they've never had an issue with my type of trading. |

when Money matters open a real bank account.
When you open a real bank account you will be the one that is interested to open the account. You will not be getting hundreds of calls from the supposed bank.
The real bank account works like this:
You either visit the bank or open the account by mail though it is not just sending scannned copies of contract or IDs.
You will have to :
Send hard copy of pasport notarized by public notary.
Sometimes a letter from other bank, it is a letter of recommendation.
Hard copy of contracts sign and dated.
And Bank has to be authorized to be securities dealer and authorized to be a BANK .

I opened with Saxo as they have a multi product platform but their execution on fx markets is always requoted and quite many problems placing stops. I have found a better deal for fx and so just kept Saxo for CFD's it works ok. |
25 June 2008 | saxo trader | Saxo Bank
I am a client of Saxo bank and the platform is great but the execution on the FX is frankly average. I use saxo for my stock trading only where its quite ok. |
5 July 2008 | jean claude | Saxo Bank
people on this page is complaining only because they do not know how the market works.....
before you open a trading account with a broker or a bank PLEASE LEARN THE MARKET.....
blaming the broker for slippage, execution or else comes only from ROOKIES....

5 July 2009 | Gary De Lacy | Saxo Bank
Jean Claude blaming the broker is one thing but "legal" excuses not to give you your profits is quite another I dont think you read the comments proprerly |

I'm a Private Wealth Management client in Saxo Bank, what can I tell you about this service?, well, they've made me lost USD 150K trading with Natural Gas futures, they offer a senior advisor for your investments (with a lot of experience) but this only a joke; the senior advisor bought the future contracts without an stop loss order, the result was I lost USD 150K in just 1,5 days. It would be funny for you, but it was not for me, believe me Saxo Bank is not as good as they say. |
