We have a big problem in Turkish forex Companies with new regulations. After that, I started to search foreign forex companies and I start to trade with many of them. I decided to stay with FBS because they have good leverage level, low spread, and Turkish customer service... And money withdraw is safer as far as I realize
Overall
FBS is really good broker. I Like their customer support and fast order execution. Their Spread is really fair

Thank you Mahmah for sending the chat. As we have stated above, your commission was cancelled only for 4 of your clients, which traded in violation of partner commission clause 7.4
7.4. In case partner commission was received for Buy and Sell orders opened for the same instrument and held in the market simultaneously, while the difference between the opening prices of the orders was less than 5 points, the Company has ground to consider the partner's actions fraudulent and reserves the right to cancel the paid commission (the value is valid for 4-digit quotes. For 5-digit quotes a difference between opening and closing price should exceed 59 points).

We hope that this clarifies the situation, and hope to continue our cooperation. if you have any further questions or needed clarification - please let us know.
Thank you.

This is the conversation of FBS and mine.
(08:57:01) mah: i got 100 clients
(08:57:05) mah: 1 of them
(08:57:09) mah: violate rules
(08:57:20) mah: then fbs cancel 100 clients commmsion
(08:57:38) mah: FBS win already . big winner
(08:58:16) mah: BUY - 1.10950 SELL - 1.10944 different 6 points. consider okay?
(08:59:47) Kristie: Yes, we are allowed to cancel all commission <-------- (1) allow to cancel all commission.
(08:59:59) Kristie: Aas for your example: it is 5 digit quote
(09:00:24) Kristie: The difference should be 59 points <------- (2) trader can't trade buy/sell in same time. hedging is not allow!
(09:01:33) mah: BUY - 1.10950 SELL - 1.10890 only valid?
(09:01:46) Kristie: Yes, for example
(09:02:07) mah: come on.. do you have see scapler or hedging before?
(09:02:30) mah: they are earning 0.00001-0.00005
(09:02:42) mah: i read online
(09:02:54) mah: the gap is so big
(09:03:03) mah: i am stunned
(09:03:36) Kristie: Sir, these rules are not applied for trading in general. But when it comes to receiving commission from trading (partner or cashback), then a client is not allowed to trade with less price gap
As from the converstation. As the agent has said it.

Dear Mahmah!
We are glad to know that first of all you have contacted our customer support in order to resolve the situation. Though, we are sorry, that our customer support’s explanation didn’t satisfy you and we consider that this issue should be clarified here, so everyone could see our point.
As you have rightly pointed out - our customer support has informed you, that your partner’s commission has been cancelled due to the violation of the rules. In the first place we would like to remind you that each client before becoming an FBS Partner confirms that he/she has read Partner Agreement and has no objection to it. According to the Partner Agreement:
7.4. In case partner commission was received for Buy and Sell orders opened for the same instrument and held in the market simultaneously, while the difference between the opening prices of the orders was less than 5 points, the Company has ground to consider the partner's actions fraudulent and reserves the right to cancel the paid commission (the value is valid for 4-digit quotes. For 5-digit quotes a difference between opening and closing price should exceed 59 points).
https://fbs.com/docs/partners_agreement_en.pdf
As we see in our system, you have 4 clients. We have checked the trading history of all of your clients and have found out that all of them were using hedged positions, while the difference between the opening prices of these orders was less than 5 (59) points. Unfortunately, this may be considered as the proof that the Partner commission in this case has been received with the help of fraudulent actions.
Thus, your statement that if one client violates the rules, all Partner commission is cancelled is not true, since in your case all of your clients were using this scheme. We would like you to note that only that commission is cancelled, which has been got for the hedged orders with the difference between the opening prices less than 5 (59) points.
As you may see, the condition about the difference in 5 (59) points doesn’t mean that the hedging is not allowed.
We hope that we have managed to clarify all the issues and have high expectation that such situation will not take place in the future.

I have register an IB account at FBS.
Then i invite friends to trade.
After that my commission was removed and same goes to my upline.
I have livechat with FBS. they said i violate rules.
The rules - hedging between are too close. all the buy and sell must more than 6 pip/60 points.
For scalper trader - not allow to take tp too little.
For hedging trader - can't buy and sell in 6 pips/60 points. FBS never think of hedging strategy.
For IB . i have livechat with them.
example:
If you have 100 clients, you have to monitor and take care all the trading.
if any one of the client are violate rules(hedging on 6pip/60points).
all of your commission will be cancelled.
Problem is , some clients are from website affiliate. which don't even know who is them. we just make a deal, when i got commission then pay them certain percentage. ( this is very common in forex deal)
** 1 client violate , other client commission will cancel**
seems this is the TRAP by giving high commission . all IB hardwork will waste in the end.
FBS is the winner in the end.
Overall
I've been trading from one broker to another broker for 2 years, until i find fbs that can provided what i need, very fast WD, low spread,credit 100% of deposit,local support for my country....and the interesting point for me is my account is no commission and no swap so i can trade fairly without subtraction and addition. So i am planning to stay in FBS.

Dear Snoopy!
First of all, we would love to ask you for relevant proof that FBS company is Market Maker.
Please, kindly take into consideration, that FBS doesn’t use such production of MetaQuotes, since we are regulated STP & ECN broker. We can recommend you to contact MetaQuotes to make sure that FBS never purchased virtual dealer plugin.
Considering execution time, please, take notice that the time of the order processing depends on the connection between the client terminal and the Company’s server, as well as on the current market conditions. During regular market hours the order processing time usually is 1 to 5 seconds. In irregular market conditions, the processing time can last longer.
In case of slow orders execution, please, try to rescan the servers. To do this, left-click on the green-and-red icon in the bottom right-hand corner of your trading platform and choose “Rescan servers”.
Thank you

Dear MountainKing!
First of all, we are glad to know that you liked the trading conditions of our Cent account type.
Though we are sorry, that some kind of misunderstanding has taken place.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact, that all commissions for deposits and withdrawals a client may find both on the site page ( https://fbs.com/trading/funds ) and in your Personal Area (you can see the fee right before making a deposit or withdrawal request).
Considering your remark about FBS regulation, please, kindly let us remind you that FBS is authorized and regulated by the Belize International Financial Services Commission (IFSC). IFSC serves as regulator of financial services at the international level and ensures that only the company's high degree of reliability and the level of social responsibility are able to carry out their activities in the territory of Belize and beyond.
Also, in December 20, 2013 FBS has entered a self-regulatory organization non-commercial partnership "Center of regulation of OTC financial instruments and technologies" (CRFIN).
The next thing that we would like to mention is that we do have swap-free option. This option is available for Muslims only. If you are a citizen of a country, where one of the dominating religions is Islam, you can switch swap-free option right in your Personal Area.
As for your long execution situation, we would highly appreciate if you contact our customer support and specify the time, date, account number and order numbers so we could check it thoroughly and take measures.
Also, we would like to remind you that different brokers have different liquidity providers and trading strategy/EA settings that work for one broker, not always work for the other broker, unfortunately.
Thank you for understanding!

Dear Hadihasan!
We have considered your claim about bespoken pending orders (all NZDUSD and NZDJPY, Buy Stop), consulted with the server data, checked its log-files and come to the following conclusion.
Please, kindly note that 00:00 MetaTrader time on 09.06.2016 was the release time of several highly important news pieces in New Zealand, that had an extremely remarkable impact on the financial market, particularly on all currency pairs with New Zealand Dollar. You can check the information about news releases with the Calendar published on myFXbook: http://www.myfxbook.com/forex-economic-calendar (the aforementioned news pieces are as follows: http://prntscr.com/cim1nv )
The mentioned news pieces have caused very high volatility in the market at 00:00 and further, which resulted in significant spread widening, abrupt price movements, and huge price gaps. You can prove this fact with the chart in MetaTrader 4 for NZDUSD and NZDJPY: http://prntscr.com/cilxj3 , http://prntscr.com/cilxoh
Considering your NZDUSD orders, which had Take Profit level set by you, we would like to remind you, that according to the Customer Agreement:
4.5.2. In the cases of price gaps order execution is determined by the following rules: a) If "Take Profit" level of a pending order is in the price gap during order opening, once the order is opened Take Profit settings will be annulled. In such a case a note is added to the comments: (tp cancelled/gap).
The following comments in MT4 prove this point: http://prntscr.com/cim53t
Unfortunately, the price set by you for these pending orders has got into price gap, therefore they have been opened at the first quote after the price gap, which is 0.70997.
Considering your NZDJPY orders, since these orders has got into price gap too, they also have been opened at the first quote after the price gap, which is 76.015.
We would like to mention, that when current loss of all open orders on a trading account exceeds the allowed limit, a Stop Out event occurs, i.e. your margin level becomes less than 20%. In this case, the server will close your orders automatically one by one with the comment “so:…./…/…”.
Example: so: -36.0%/-5.1/14.2 – the order was closed by stop out (where -36.0% is the margin level at the time of order closure, -5.1 – remaining funds at the time of order closure, 14.2 – margin).
According to the Customer Agreement:
3.6.2. The Company is entitled to mandatory closing of a Client’s open positions without prior notification of the latter one, if Margin level is lower than 20% of the necessary margin for maintaining open positions.
This is exactly how your orders were executed.
This sharp price movement in an unfavourable direction also caused your account balance to reach Stop Out level, that is why, the system closed all your orders automatically one-by-one in order to prevent your account balance from going negative. The following comments in MT4 prove this point:
http://prntscr.com/cim5lg
It is worth mentioning that different brokers have different liquidity providers which send slightly different quotes. And price gap situation with one broker doesn’t always mean the same situation with other broker.
Also, we would like to remind you that news trading is one of the most risky strategies on Forex as it bears high risks of losses.
We hope that we have managed to resolve this issue and thank you for your understanding!
