AAAFX Forex Broker

Recommended Posts

Myself included!

Excellent broker, and excellent execution!

Spreads could be a bit better, though, there are no extra commissions per trade and what you see officially is what you actually get in your account as well :)

You are totally wrong, aaafx is regulated and monitored. It is all here :

https://www.aaafx.com/Assets/MiFID.pdf

 

 

I am not wrong ... the document that you are referring to above is written by AAAFx and is

just saying that if you sign up with them and declare yourself as an experienced trader etc, then AAAFX will provide you with the same coverage as MiFID would - to be clear, this is an undertaking by AAAFX and is not enforceable by MiFID. MiFID in fact does not even cover the spot forex maket....

 

Unfortunately, I am not able to post links as my post count is too low, but I saw a good post on BabyPips forum where someone explained it.. but go read the wikipedia article on MiFID where it says

 

Firms covered by MiFID will be authorised and regulated in their "home state" (broadly, the country in which they have their registered office). Once a firm has been authorised, it will be able to use the MiFID passport to provide services to customers in other EU member states. These services will be regulated by the member state in their "home state" (whereas currently under ISD, a service is regulated by the member state in which the service takes place).

 

So to fall under MiFiD, the the brokerage needs to be authorized and regulated by it's country's recognized regulatory body. Which does not appear to be the case with AAAFX, it is certainly not on their website and from what I have seen, brokers love to announce how many regulatory bodies they belong to.... If you have evidence to the contrary, please post it. And as mentioned above, MiFID does not even cover spot forex anyway.

Oh, I read that post you are referring too...Seems from your tone and the msg, as if you are the same person writing too :haha:

 

Right off their website :

"AAAFx is regulated in Europe, registration no. 2/540/17.2.2010.

Tax Identification Number : 998281207 "

 

I'have searched it all the way, it is EU regulated by the Hellenic Capital Markets. As for mifid its a regulation, and if it covers or not the financial markets, not really my concern, I positive the other regulators are doing their work. To tell you the truth I've had no problem with the broker or its executions.

Sorry to say, but I am not the same person, although the same might be said about you..going by your English, it is clear it that English is not your first language (even though

you are using an English name ...hmm)....are you Greek perhaps ;) ??

 

Regarding Hellenic Capital Markets Commission, it does appear that they are listed on their website - it is strange why AAAFx does not advertise this fact on their website ? maybe it is not something that you want to be shouting from the rooftops haha.

 

As far as MiFID is concerned, as I pointed out in my previous post, spot forex is not covered by MiFID....since AAAFx is a forex broker I think it would concern most people (if not you), particularly since AAAFx seems to be quite misleading in it's conduct by leading people to draw the conclusion and inferring that they are Regulated under MiFID.

I never said that English is my native language. Never thought this was a 'crime' :doh:

 

Ok, so, what's that obsession you've got with mifid, and EU regulation? Have you got burned with any other broker? As far as I'm informed, aren't all brokers usually with the same status, or I am wrong?

No one said it was a crime... you were the person accusing me of being someone else from another forum, to which I commented that I would not be surprised if in fact YOU were not who you are claiming to be, given that you are using a very English name however you are clearly not English (deceptive ?) and I would not be at all surprised if in you are actually a rep for AAAFx.

 

I have no obsession with MiFID, you are the one who brought up MiFID (go read the posts above) and I simply pointed out that MiFID does not cover Spot Forex trading....

 

Anyway, I have made my point regarding MiFID and you have pointed out that AAAFx are in fact regulated by Hellenic Capital Markets Commission...a fact which they do not advertise on their website (for whatever reason).....I don't see that we have anything left to discuss...unless you want to add something of actual value to the conversation..

I think you are spamming big time, you didnt even answer all my points that I asked you previously. You really thing that you are making any point where you are actually failing!!:doh::doh:

 

qouting: "Right off their website :

Great arguments, you've put there - so I use a nickname, I am suppose to be English speaking..serously??!?!:rofl:

 

It is ridiculous to accuse me of something I am not, you can go back and check all my posts , i think i did put one of live account's results. Again, I see no reason in your obsessive replies, you dont like EU regulations, go ahead and dont trade in Europe. (in case that they even accept your accounts).

Seriously, really no point discussing something you are not even able to.

 

Cheers and happy pipping !!!

Wow ! really ? maybe your translator is not working properly....try using Google Translate, it tends to be the best and does a good job..

 

What points have you made exactly ? The only thing you have done is point people to the MiFID link on AAAFx website (a document written by them) and quote their license number ... I have responded to everything. Honestly, your posts have contained nothing of substance and frankly have sought to distract and confuse.

 

I have nothing wrong with EU regulation (show many anything in my posts that suggests this), my problem is with brokers who try and mislead traders regarding their regulatory status...which in my opinion, AAAFx has !

 

Anyway "William" (what is the translation for William in Greek ?), I will not be responding to any more of your rambling nonsensical posts and I do believe that you are a representative of AAAFx and if not, good luck with what seems to be a top, above board and shining star of transparency of a broker ;)

Oh I've seen now you are having some issues for being an American because they don't accept US clients. :roll eyes:

 

I see no reason of attacking me personally, really no point at all. :crap:

 

Anyhow, again, Happy pipping and be nice to people!

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
