They will usually have a slew of testimonials from allegedly legitimate sources in order to gain the trader’s confidence yet in reality do nothing to forecast profitable trades. They usually charge either a daily/weekly or monthly fee for this service but do not offer any information that helps the trader make money. The signal seller scam is a scam that works by a person or a company selling information on which trades to make and claiming that this information is based on professional forecasts which are guaranteed to make money for the inexperienced trader. The following outlines Forex scams and the types of scam that have been involved in Forex frauds at present and in the past. Giambrone recognises that scammers take advantage of the complexities around the Forex market, maliciously withholding important information about market realities from their unsuspecting novice victims, claiming their scheme, information or software robot will bring them financial success. In order to make a significant profit in the market takes a considerable experience and is a steep learning curve. Because most of the currency movements are directed by large well-financed corporate institutions and banks, that have a complete understanding of the financial markets, the undercapitalised trader is always likely to lose.to such Institutions and large banks that trade in Forex on a daily basis. The Forex market is a ‘zero-sum’ market, which means that for one trader to make a profit, another trader will need to make a loss, the Forex market does not itself add value to the market. However, with high leverage positions which, in theory, have the potential to generate significant money for traders and because there is no centralised/regulated exchange, scammers take advantage of the lack of regulation to target the inexperienced traders who desire to enter the market. Without the Forex market it would be difficult to trade the currencies needed to buy imports, sell exports, to go on holiday or carry out cross-border business. The Forex market is a legitimate trading market where the world’s currencies are traded. However, even with small fluctuations, high leverage attracts inexperienced traders who may think the Forex market is a get rich quick market. The reason brokers provide such high leverage is because currency fluctuations in the Forex market are not usually more than 1% during any trading. At 100:1 the trader only needs to put up £1000 to cover a £100,000 trade. A typical margin ratio will be around 50:1, 100:1 or 200:1 depending on the amount of currency being traded. This is basically a loan by the broker to the trader allowing the trader to trade at a margin. The Forex market is a high-leverage market.Currencies are traded via computer networks between one trader and the next, often referred to as over-the-counter (OTC).There is no regulated centralised exchange.Giambrone & Partners' banking and financial lawyers point to the following features of the Forex market that make it susceptible to Forex trading scams and Forex frauds: When a holiday-maker goes to their bank to exchange foreign currencies they are participating in the spot FX market. Whereas in the futures market, the date the trading price is determined and the date the currency is exchanged are different. Most of Forex trading happens in the spot FX market, which is different from the futures market, in that currencies are physically exchanged in real-time when a transaction is made. With constant price fluctuations, this tumultuous market can make Institutions, companies and some individuals a great deal of money. Currencies are always traded in pairs, for example, the US$ with the UK£ or the US$ with the EURO. The market is open 24 hours a day, when trading closes in New York it opens again in Tokyo and Hong Kong. The foreign currency exchange market, known as the Forex market (FX) is the world’s largest trading market, dwarfing the Stock Exchange in size with nearly $5 trillion US dollars traded daily.
