DaleGribble (@bitcornfarmer1) reported@coryklippsten This isn't anything spectacular. CFD trading firms: oanda, etc all take their other side of their customer trades because ~90% lose in short order. It's only the consistently profitable trader who's trades get hedged in "the market" by the firms

JP Attueyi (@jpattueyi) reported@dammiedammie35 Congrats on your forex win. But have you looked at the tax implications starting in January 2026? 1. If you LIVE in Nigeria and trade forex on: MetaTrader Deriv Binance ICMarkets Exness Oanda Any foreign broker Then, ALL income you earn, whether abroad or locally, is taxable in Nigeria. Section 12 makes this clear. So even if your FX profits never enter Nigeria… If you are resident → you owe tax on them. 2. Your FX profits must be converted using the official market rate. The Act defines the only valid valuation standard as: “currency exchanged market approved by the Central Bank of Nigeria.” This means the official CBN/NAFEM rate NOT the black-market rate If you record profits using black market rates, but FIRS recalculates using the official rate, your taxable income will be different, often higher. This is a silent but powerful rule. 3. FX deposits into your Nigerian bank account can trigger scrutiny Under Section 29 (presumptive assessment): FIRS can tax any “unexplained deposit” based on “circumstances of the individual.” So if you do forex and money enters your account: USD inflow FX withdrawals from brokers Naira equivalent from online platforms You MUST be able to prove: the source that it is trading income that it is not business revenue disguise that you paid tax on profit. Otherwise, FIRS can deem the inflow as taxable income even if it is just a transfer. 4. If FX is your business, it becomes taxable under Section 4(1)(a) If you trade forex regularly, with the intention to profit, the law classifies this as: a trade, business, or vocation, which makes ALL gains taxable. Section 4(1) says income is taxable when it arises from “trade, business, profession, or vocation.” So: Casual trading = still taxable Full-time trading = clearly taxable Automated EA/bot trading = taxable Copy trading = taxable You cannot avoid PIT because “it’s online.” 5. Losses from forex are NOT deductible unless you keep proper records. Forex traders often lose money. But under the Act: personal losses are NOT deductible business losses MUST be backed by records If you cannot prove losses, FIRS will tax ONLY your gains. 6. Crypto-based forex is still taxable Even if you trade forex using: USDT BTC Stablecoins offshore wallets crypto funded FX brokers, it is still worldwide income under Section 12. Crypto is NOT a loophole. The law taxes the income, not the currency. 7. If you trade forex for clients, you have EXTRA tax obligations If you: manage accounts collect investor funds do account flipping take commissions earn performance fees Then the income is “income from service” under Section 4(1)(d) This requires: personal income tax possibly registering a company filing CIT if corporate tracking commission income Forex account managers are firmly within FIRS visibility now.

Elias Ali (@sidali707) reported@OANDA Can you please fix your servers? I can't log in, I can't get customer service on the phone. Panda is really bad now. In the middle of trading, suddenly I can't access my account??? It's a joke!!

PipBack (@PipBack_com) reportedA recent study suggests that prop firms are increasingly becoming funnels into brokerage accounts. According to Finance Magnates (*1), some firms have converted over 10% of prop traders into live brokerage clients. At the same time, brokers like Axi and OANDA have launched their own prop-style offerings (*2). More recently, Topstep has also moved in this direction, launching its own brokerage (Topstep Brokerage) and transitioning traders toward live capital accounts within its ecosystem (*3). This suggests a structural shift where prop firms are not just products, but customer acquisition channels for brokers. Sources: *1 Finance Magnates (2024) - ATFX report *2 DX trade / Brokeree industry reports *3 LiquidityFinder (2026) - TopstepX launch

MadMax9 (@max9_mad) reported@tradertristian Even on Mt4, I have 4 terminals opened now during news. Oanda is worst in spiking price. Eightcap also does it on all prop firms but a bit less than Oanda. ICmarkets by far is the least one doing this ****. Very visible on M1 tf.
