Markets.com review forex peace army

I posted a review for ForexEnvy about a year ago on their website, and I checked it day by day. They never posted the review. I gave ForexEnvy a 1-star review because they are scammers, and it's impossible to earn money from them.
I based my buying decisions on ForexPeaceArmy, until I realized that they don't publish all your reviews. They're biased as hell. When I contacted them about it, they never replied.

History doesn't really repeat itself but often rhymes. We can look at past events to predict future ones however it's not always going to pan out the way people expect. What we currently see now is thay we don't have a real economist running a key economic institutions in the world and no media house will ever tell the boring facts and try to keep some sensationalist spin because it's fun. The number of times the cable news media has spin what effectively was a coup in Sri Lanka primarily due to inflation into a Chinese debt trap issue ( when Sri Lanka only owes them 10% or their total debt) for sensationalist drama without even mentioning the fact that inflation was the reason this happened is really a new low. If for whatever reason food prices go up even more, you will see these kinds of coups. Any politician knows that if you admit a double digit persistent inflation especially in county where a lot of benefits are given you will have people comming for your head.
For the sake of my sanity and not to be one of these old uncle's that's screams at the tv I am posting why things are the way they are. Here is exactly whats I can confirm is happening with the world and what we know of as the reasons why inflation is soo high and the global markets are soo volatile.
1) Post the first few waves of covid and QE rounds to essentially raise money to keep the economy afloat it was estimated that cheaper loans and easier access to money would give businesses the working capital to carry on business. However as usual there were leakages in the systems and companies simply refinanced their existing loan positions to get cheaper rates as commercial banks didn't want to get too exposed to riskier businesses due to a good certainty of default. Unfortunately the riskier businesses are generally the ones who need the funding to actually get the intended purpose of the loans. This essentially led to big companies getting bigger and smaller guys going bankrupt or the K shaped curve. There is always a honeymoon period in the Indian markets when cheap loans are available as FII are able to borrow money for cheap and invest in Indian companies mainly because from their perspective the alpha is higher. We saw all kinds of companies getting funding and exploding in value.
3) Around mid 2021 when people were somewhat back to normal live and businesses were opening up again, consumption shot up unexpectedly. There was a demand push inflation (people want more shit at any price) as people got out of their houses and businesses opened up. This was what was supposed to be transitory inflation (as famously said by J Powell). As more and more supply chain bottlenecks and other issues were resolved, the prices should have stabilised.
4) Start of 2022, it was estimated that supply chain bottlenecks would continue longer than expected because of the nature of some business and a fundamental change in the macro economics situation in some parts of the world. Securing their own political interests, building anti Chinese sentiment and a general push towards self reliance in the world, we saw European countries spread a propoganda similar to Brexit as pushed by their generally right wing politicians. Global demand was also iffy because of the supply chain issues and constant on/off lockdown status in China, India and US. This should have been an indication that the QE was unsustainable and the central banks should have started to slowly raising their fed rate equivalent somewhat to the level of 5 bps/m so by the end of 6 months the 30bps interest rates wouldn't have been volatile as it was spread out. But no one did it because essentially it looks bad politically and they would have been scrutinized. Looking at rising demand OPEC started to raise oil prices so that they could also sustain their economy.
5) After the winter Olympics Putin went full idiot and thought the best way to solve an international land dispute with the Mericans was to have a full scale war and attack a nation that was essentially minding their own business. This triggered the entire world as it essentially signals that all the internal cooperation after the cold war was useless and the structures of peace and commerce Europe was built on is extremely fragile. This reduces trusts in the European markets and currently we are seeing an international dick measuring contest between which countries can spend the most money to fight a nation so destroyed by its own corruption their army uses WW2 tech and a leader who will not admit defeat even if his entire populus dies in his stupid "correction" the past.
6) Russia became a major oil source in Europe because the middle eastern nations were apparently the bad guys in the 2000s according to the US. Russia is banned from selling oil for starting a literal war and OPEC will not reduce oil prices. So oil prices again shoot up. While we see the overall prices become very volatile because of short term reasons now has reached a new range of + 100 USD per barrel compared to 70 a few months back. This essentially tells the world that war of any kid is too expensive so they don't join in the fight but supply the guns and ammunition.
7) The fed doesn't know what to do and in damage control all major central banks raise their rates to really high levels so as to counter inflation and the Black swan event of wars. This has spooked the FIIs and we are seeing red in the markets as Fixed returns have become more favorable and forex volatility. It's not really because the dollar is performing better but essentially it for whatever reason isn't performing as bad as other currencies because of the drastic increase in the fed rate. The new USD/INR rate is just a simple forex calculation which was bound to have a drastic impact due to the rate increase. Inflation figures finally are coming out and we are finally getting to see what has been the impact of the leakages of the QE and what happens when you don't raise rates fast enough.
8) Seeing interest rates rise, this lead to all the risky loan corpus being pooled out from more risky counties which
As long as inflation isn't under control the FIIs will be spooked to invest in emerging markets. We still have to see if this can be controlled before this heads us to another global recession however we will have to wait. Let's see

Do any legitimate brokers based in the USA offer LTCUSD or other Crypto based Forex trades? Are there any trustable brokers around the world that offer these symbols for trading?
I was trading through GoldshipFX from Hong Kong on someone’s recommendation and it was fine, I was successful, until I went to withdraw my funds and they told me to pay 50% of my gross profit to them because they have to pay it to the IRS, and that the fee is not deductible from my trading account, it has to be sent as crypto to a crypto wallet they provided before I can withdraw. This is my first venture into forex, the trading was fun, but I need a trustworthy broker, hopefully one that offers LTCUSD trading.

This may be long winded but certain knowledge must be illuminated to prevent our movement from being finessed the same way as nations that attempt to speculate on PM price movements.
Thine enemy will attack on multiple fronts with multiple tools, many of which Apes do not understand how to use, YET. Evil is no match for good, knowledge of both sides being equal! As it stands, the enlightenment of Apes needs to be cranked up to progress far faster, as the reset is already underway. Let's not become to complacent! Thine enemy surely is not!
ENTER THE BULLIONAIRE's RABBIT HOLE
[Historic reminders of rampant inflation’s impact upon commodities prices is especially relevant at present, given the looming parallels between the travails of Weimar Germany in the twenties and the impact of repeated rounds of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve and Europe.
Silver prices rose from 12 Deutsche Marks in January 1919, only months following the conclusion of the First World War, to the astronomical sum of 543,750,000,000 Deutsche marks by the end of 1923, while gold rose from 170 Deutsche Marks to 87,000,000,000,000 by the end of the same period. It's common folly to doubt these numbers are so incredible after relative inflation is accounted for!
Germany was at this point in time already suffering from high levels of inflation due to the effects of the war and the increasing government debt. In order to pay the striking workers the government simply printed more money. This flood of money led to hyperinflation as the more money was printed, the more prices rose.]
On Nov. 20, 1923 the devalued papiermark was pegged to the rentenmark at a trillion to one. The hyperinflation was over, and Germany was back on a gold standard system as the one and ONLY solution to hyperinflation.
The main thing, with the Rentenmark, was that its value remained equivalent to a “gold mark" 0.35842g of .999 gold.
Preinflation = 4.2 papiermarks equals $1 USD = 4.2 rentenmark(gold marks)
ENTER PAPER GOLD
Cost of Gold bullion in Berlin vs. USA, in usd:
Pre inflation gold price: $0.66/g in USA ($20.67/OZ USD) $0.66/g in Berlin ($20.66/OZ USD)
Only the 1% could take advantage of a 1 cent difference (or $0.96 per oz price relative difference) without a net loss via, you guessed it, bank fees.
However DURING RESETS anyone can join the 1% if they have enough knowledge, period. MY HOPES AND EFFORTS HERE ARE TO INFLATE THE RULING CLASS TO AT LEAST 5% to diversify the influence of old money and to end this BRONZE AGE.
Jan 1 1918 2 marks = RM1 = 0.35842g = $0.476 USD (vs. $0.66 USD/g)
Jan 31 1919 10 marks = RM1 = 0.35842g = $0.20 USD (vs. $0.66 USD/g)
Jan1 1922 1282 marks = RM1 = 0.35842g = $0.003276131 USD (vs.$0.66 USD/g)
On Nov. 20, 1923, the devalued mark was pegged to the rentenmark at a trillion to one. The hyperinflation was over, and Germany was back on a gold standard system.
1925 REVALORIZATION = 4.2 trillion marks = $1 USD = 4.2RM (rentenmark)
Followed by reichsmark at 1:1 with gold mark (or RM or rentenmark)
Jan 1, 1925 gold price $0.66/g in USA ($20.67/OZ USD) $0.66/g in Berlin ($20.66/OZ USD)
1922 you can buy gold bullion for $0.2842689417 an OZ in Berlin while gold price is $20.67 USD on the same day, a 7,171.28% instant gain.
Germany, like many others defied dollar dominance and was taken down. The rise of HITLER was the result. Death and manufacture of tools of war correct balance sheets before nuclear era, every other time. We are set for finaicial war this time. It's long already started. The pull from Afghanistan is another canary for temp or medium term return of the gold standard. When oil and every other commodity is priced in gold, it will make bitcoin gains jealous and bitcoin holders ruined. Bitcoin is a trap for anti-establishment sentiment and a tool to transfer wealth. It's not a coin or gold anymore than Tesla was a car manufacturer rather than a business selling green energy emissions credits, while producing "green" vehicles at a loss that of which, 95% run on COAL. Is this why they are worth more than all car manufacturers combined? Because they make no profits? They make no profit yet the market cap rivals WALMART? THIS IS MY PROOF THAT SMOKE AND MIRRORS ARE REAL and that brainwashing is more easy than ever. ENRON Musk is a sophisticated hustler, with a low IQ being measured as a genius. How many of you did he STEAL from with paypal? How could he have created paypal? Was he simply the best actor to receive credit? How many will chase this man down IRL and decide his fate and SOON?
-------- SILVER BULLION ----------
Silver bullion price, Berlin vs. USA, measured in USD.
Preinflation silver price(1918): $0.65/oz in USA $0.31/oz in Germany (2 marks)
Jan 31, 1919 silver price $0.65/oz in USA $0.13/oz in Germany
Jan, 1, 1922 silver price $0.65/oz USD in USA $0.0010140406/oz USD in Germany
Buying silver bullion on Jan 1 1922 with USD, then selling for marks and converting back to USD, was a same day instant 64,000%
There are far far far more spectacular prices that can be assumed as the peaks of october 1923, using easy math, however it's an assumption of historical monetary scholars that by March of 2022, that silver bullion was unobtainium in Germany for obvious reasons aforementioned, as well as trading papiermark for usd was exponentially difficult and becoming a non option at any rate by April 1922.
Million percent gains were possible, though certainly, for 99% of people, 64,000% same day gains were as good as it got.
The 1% (banks) surely were the only ones to take full advantage of the 2023 "finish him" year.
Ever heard the term, "eighty-sixthed" ? The USA 86th'd Germany for trying to play chess true masters. Any mathematician want to explain the significance of the numbers 0.86, or 0.666, in the take down of Germany for threatening the US dollar? Or the same numbers in the take down of Saddam Hussein's Iraq when he threatened the petro dollar by announcing acceptance of his own currency, or gold bullion to buy Iraqi OIL? You know, the actual 911 story?
If gold and silver bullion are not the only real money, then why does a nation's currency hyperinflate in such correlation with the removal of its gold and silver bullion? If it takes 3 years to finesse the gold/silver away to prevent bullion speculation, the hyperinflation is 3 years. If you invade and steal all the gold overnight to make oil purchased in Iraqi currency a no way jose thought, , you see the currency crushed overnight.
The USA will 86 anyone who falls out of line, period. Because he who (actually) has the gold, rules. US citizens will buy all the bullion with USD at any inflation rate and still make INSTANT gains by way of the FX market. Ever hear an old head complain about the power of the "money changers"? Who can change money and how? By having the most gold, that's how.
Perhaps the world believes the USA sold and leased more gold than they had in bullion. This is true insofar as paper gold. The term gold by itself, means PAPER in bank terms. Real gold will ALWAYS say physical/bullion/reserve etc. The USA rules the world, because they have the actual gold.
Being the USA has the most bullion and runs sh1t, period, because of this fact. You can bet your ass they going to reset gold indirectly, not insofar as changing the price of a commodity, but rather by reclassification of gold bullion to a zero risk cash equivalent asset for banks, via basel 3. This is not a prediction but something that ALREADY happened. It's the canary in the coal mind that a RESET is imminent.
Learn forex trading basics to take advantage of the real opportunities coming for those smart enough to hold physical PMs.
READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND SEE THAT THE RESET VIA TEMP OR MEDIUM TERM RETURN TO GOLD STANDARD IS A CYCLE AND IMMINENT AND NOT FIGHTING THE BANKS, BUT RATHER JOINING THEM IN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A "CRUCIBLE", aka economic necessity. THE TERM IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM JOIN THEM IS A THING FOR A REASON.
If you are planning on getting something for nothing, you are stealing from someone. If you buy silver with USD you are using stolen bullion to buy more in practice and at a price that will surely see you get a TON of other people's wealth, not because you are clever, but because of cleverness of the banks.
The real and eventual play of the people is to collect all the silver into our physical hands and not sell at any price! To use real money to literally guarantee FREEDOM from our oppressors. Humans will by majority choose slavery.
Bullion holders will get rich or go broke, depending on your knowledge and strategic plan to take advantage of the reset. Know how to use crypto and forex markets to take advantage of the future fruits (Ape knows more gets more banana for silver than apes that know less. Buying and holding will preserve your relative wealth, but relative fx swaps are going to be the way to get rich, if you so choose that path. One country after the next will start falling and become the Berlin bullion opportunity one after the other, right under your nose perhaps?
Or is the disposition of apes, that all currencies will be reset at once? In which case we will have the opportunity of exponential gains overnight?
It could be either one for a number of reasons, but I would recommend having a solid plan to take advantage of rx swaps if it is indeed going to trickle up.
Anyone down to duscuss the likihood of a drawn out "reset" vs. an ovetnight "reset"?
Golden age literally means gold is money and corruption becomes all but impossible relative to today. Are we really there yet? Is the filth and corruption so bad that it can go on no longer? Do they take peoples children away from parents intent to not let their son's and daughters tits or penis be removed until they are old enough to make better decisions than icecream for dinner everynight, if left to chose as a CHILD? You can bet your a$$ that politicians were not paid real money to make such reality. They were paid in future slave labor hour IOU's. Evil is always paid for in slave hours. Ironic we accept it or think we have no choice. Sound money is the only way to illuminate the benefit of lasting peace and equality for all.
Papiergold and papiersilver are the root of EVIL. You are a SPIRIT and it's a factual matter of physics that what created and sustains your very soul is a CONSTANT. Your fungi derived body of dust, becometh by way of the creation of your soul, not the other way around which is supported by inarguably accepted physics. Upon your brain activity stopping, you will awake in a permanent dream in which what you were all about in this realm will indeed follow you forever.
Golden age equals people in physical control of silver, so selling paper gold would not enslave but empower subjects. You know, THE REASON WHY THE USA WAS CREATED TO BEGIN WITH, TO FIGHT EVIL. THE FOUNDERS OF THE USA AND ITS FIRST CITIZENS WERE THE ORIGINAL APES. THEY WARNED ABOUT THIS OVER ALL ELSE, TO NEVER ACCEPT A BANK AS YOUR MASTER, FOR INDEED HAVING A MASTER IS WHAT MAKES ONE A SLAVE.
UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL! There are divinding forces in this movement. Of course divisive infiltration of the movement was imminent by necessity; thine enemy is nothing if not sophisticated. BEWARE OF WOLFS IN PAPER CLOTHING. They are your gravest enemy in plain site. Despite the number of talking points, no challenge to paper bullion ever goes out with significant challenge on a SILVER BUG FORUM. See how that doesnt add up? Every ounce of paper silver you purchase by any name, trust, etf, is literally paying to give silver to the 1% seeking to eliminate all middle classes keep the ruling class as small as possible.

SILVER HAS LOST NO VALUE IN 100 YEARS AND HAS MADE INCREDIBLE GAINS. THE DOLLAR HAS DROPPED 96% OVER THE SAME TIME, SOON TO BE 99%.. BY NATURE OF THE DOLLAR BEING A FIAT AND A RESERVE, GOLD CAN ESSENTIALLY BE PRINTED TO MAKE THE PRICE OF PMs STAGNANT OR FALL. EVERY SINGLE PRINTED DOLLAR ABOVE THE RELATIVE VALUE OF GOLD WILL BE ABSORBED BY A FUNGIBLE AND INELASTIC DURABLE AND NON COUNTERFEITABLE UNIT OF ACCOUNT ....GOLD. PERIOD.
1 dollar is actually only worth 4 cents (at most) and one ounce of silver is worth one ounce of silver, which is actually worth 25x the current value it can be purchased with in counterfeited money. And reasonably so.
If the current price is $25 in counterfeited dollars, it's assumed by the most sophisticated economists to actually represent at bottom, $500 real dollars currently, headed toward 5k plus peaks very soon. Will you be one of the 99% who sells their silver for 500 an ounce or less? Most likely. Will the top 1% enjoy 95% of this transfer of wealth regarding 1k, 2500, 3500, 5k and even 10k silver? Most likely. Will the price of gold and silver rise high enough to balance out the holes on CB balance sheets? Bet your a$$.
Will we 86 our oppression, or be 86th'd by the 0.666 constant?
If we ALL hold to 5k, the ruling class will be 86% pro gold standard for 100 years. SILVER BUGS don't want apocalypse or a melt down, or corruption, or the government taking our children if we won't let them make permanent adult decisions by age 5. First they divided the sexes, then by any 50-50 issue they can pretend to care about, ..and now they dividing patents and children.
It's our DUTY AS THOSE WHO DESIRE FREEDOM to DUMP COUNTERFIET DOLLARS FOR SILVER to SAVE THE WORLD, NOT BREAK IT. IT'S BROKE ALREADY! TIME TO FIX THAT!
FREEDOM AND LIBERTY FOR ALL!

Your 11-minute Tuesday report in 2656 words.

March 1st: lower court executes Constitutional's order, drops charges

Kocharyan, Khachaturov, Ohanyan, and Gevorgyan are found not guilty of violating Article 300.1 because the Article itself was struck down by the Constitutional Court.
The prosecutors will wait for the full verdict text before responding. They want to know what the court's verdict on the prosecutors' opinion is, regarding sending a new appeal to the Constitutional Court.
Prosecutors have contacted the Constitutional Court to challenge the legal code that, according to them, does not allow prosecutors to properly change the charges, thus "allowing perpetrators to get away and resulting in no justice for victims."
Article 300.1 was introduced by the former regime as an amendment to an earlier law. It was criticized at the time as being a backdoor to allow Kocharyan and others "to get away with abuse of power in the future". Other critics argue that the Constitutional court, with majority HHK-appointees, made a political decision by striking down the law.
Context: Kocharyan decided to suppress protests in February-March of 2008 by bringing the military against civilian protesters. Prosecutors are arguing "he abused his powers to usurp power" by doing so.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1048222.html , https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1048225.html

Kocharyan is still facing $3 million mining bribery charges

The trial will continue on April 13. He is accused of taking bribes from a mining businesswoman Silva Hambardzumyan with the help of his aide Armen Gevorgyan. The businesswoman came forward after the revolution and spoke about paying bribes to be able to do certain things.
Kocharyan is accused of taking $3M in bribes to allow her to sell her mining company to a foreign-registered company. The middleman was allegedly Kocharyan's friend Samvel Mayrapetyan, a prominent media magnate who owns the H2 media outlet.
Kocharyan's aide Armen Gevorgyan is accused of receiving and laundering [another] $1M bribe from businesswoman Hambardzumyan with the help of media guy Mayrapetyan.

Kocharyan's conversation with Putin

The two held a phone conversation last week but Putin's spokesman Peskov did not confirm whether they met physically during Kocharyan's recent trip to Russia. Kocharyan visited Russia earlier to take part in a board meeting of the Russian SISTEMA corporation.

Investigative Committee provides an update on the 2018 Vanetsyan-Khachatryan-Pashinyan wiretapping case:

The wiretapping and publishing investigation is still active; all three are declared as victims and were questioned.
As for the second audiotape featuring NSS Vanetsyan and SIS Khachatryan, the investigation over possible abuse of power was dropped on Feb/4/2020 due to a lack of felony.

court rejects former deputy CoGS Tiran Khachatryan's petition to "suspend" his termination

Tiran Khachatryan and Onik Gasparyan are suing the Premier and President to have their jobs back in the army headquarters. The court earlier ruled to "temporarily suspend" Onik's termination.
Today, another court ruled not to suspend a similar termination for Onik's aide Tiran.
Both trials continue. These were about "emergency" measures.

Artsakh continues to purge corrupt municipality staff

If you don't know what happened, you get an F for not reading yesterday's news.
Today, Artsakh published more instances of public officials being busted with falsifying post-war aid recipient lists to include unqualified individuals. Arrests and charges were pressed against mayors and officials from Shushi, Togh, Tumi, Zokh, Arevshat, etc.

interview to Russian RIA Novosti / Pashinyan about snap elections and Russia:

Strategic and allied relations between Armenia and Russia do not depend on the election results. The relations are quite rich and extensive. They are based on the historical closeness of our peoples.
The elections will be held in such a way that there will be no reason to dispute them. It will show who enjoys the trust of our citizens.
In 2018 we held the first elections since 1996 that were transparent and weren't challenged in the Constitutional Court.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1048163.html , https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1048229.html

Pashinyan about purchasing Russian weapons and SU-30 jets:

We will finalize the purchase of new Su-30 jets per our bilateral contract documents. Armenian army needs modern and multi-functional fighter jets. Armenia will continue to extend and develop long-term military-technical cooperation with Russia.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1048178.html

Pashinyan about modernizing the army:

The army's replenishment with modern weapons is a priority. Large-scale reforms have already been launched, which are being implemented in close cooperation with Russian partners.
https://armenpress.am/arm/news/1048210.html

Pashinyan about military loans:

Since Armenia and Russia have a direct military contract and Armenia is a member of the CSTO military bloc, Armenia is interested in supplies from Russia in order to have a modern army.
Arms and ammunition supplies to Armenia should be done the same way they are done for the Russian army. (probably refers to low pricing)
As for the possibility of taking a new loan, it will depend on the results of ongoing army reforms. The ongoing loan repayments will continue.

Pashinyan about Turkey:

Turkey must change its aggressive policy towards Armenia in order to establish lasting peace and economic ties in the region. The border was unilaterally closed by Turkey in 1993. Armenia has always been in favor of normalizing the relations with Turkey without preconditions.

Pashinyan about the confrontation with former CoGS Onik:

The situation is settled. The army, together with the government, will continue to take steps to strengthen the security of the country.

Redditor translates Kocharyan's interview to Russian outlet

DALLAVID's post can be found here. (Note: not verified by me but it's public content)
https://www.reddit.com/armenia/comments/mla9qh/interview_with_the_former_president_of_armenia/
Update: more info here https://www.reddit.com/armenia/comments/mlk8uw/apr62021_1_kocharyan_trial_court_drops_article/gtnir1k/
Kocharyan said in the interview that Turkey is a threat and that opening borders and developing business ties with Turkey could turn Armenia into Ajaria [think of it as a Turkish province], hence the closed borders.
Critics noted, however, that he supported the opening of the borders during his presidency. Wikileaks documents revealed that Kocharyan sent a letter to Turkey in 2005, urging Turkey to find ways to improve relations and to open the borders.

During a phone conversation, he agreed to send classified information about Armenia's military equipment and troops, in exchange for money. He signed an electronic contract and chose a nickname.
He then gathered and sent the classified information for $1,500, either himself or with the help of his wife.

centralized banking records for anti-money laundering & digital fiat / Where is PayPal?

The government drafted a bill to ask Central Bank to create a central register to keep tabs on banking account ownership "to meet the standards on combatting money laundering and terror financing."
Author: the register will also allow the creation of automated banking for citizens and a digital currency in the future.
This will make the anti-terror and anti-laundering fight more efficient because the authorities won't have to target multiple banks with all their individual accounts.
Sensitive information such as initial balance, transfers, and final balance will not be collected or stored. The existence of a person's account is what's collected.
The centralized registry is also an infrastructure that can serve as the basis for the future development of online payment platforms in Armenia and abroad. The world is headed in this direction. It will allow online payment platforms to function in Armenia.
Q: thousands of people are asking whether PayPal will enter the Armenian market.
Author: we hold routine talks with PayPal. There are two options to bring PayPal to Armenia.
First. The Armenian businesses can consolidate and give assurances to PayPal that they will guarantee market growth, aka a "business case", but we don't believe the Armenian market is big enough for this.
Second. The government can develop Armenia's electronic platforms and ID system on the national level in a way to reduce PayPal's compliance risks. We need unified rules on a national level instead of showing individual treatment, so PayPal can enter our market and grow alongside other businesses.
Small countries like ours face these issues. At the moment, we don't have an offer that would allow PayPal to come.

Yerevan's Green Department: from 0 to 60 in 365

the origins
A year ago, Yerevan municipality founded the Landscaping and Environmental Protection agency (green department) to act as a centralized authority on planting trees, installing irrigation networks, recycling, removing illegal structures that intruded on green zones, etc.
new equipment
Mayor Marutyan visited to learn about the progress. "We needed to concentrate all the potential in one place and develop a policy for landscaping the city. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough equipment. The new department purchased large quantities of tech, which is being used today," said Marutyan.
They recently purchased dozens of forklifts, trucks, water vehicles, spraying devices, trash trucks, a total of 70 units. A new parking lot will be created soon so they won't have to park on city streets.
baby trees
The department has 25 hectares of areas with greenhouses and gardens but only 5 is being utilized today. This is where most of Yerevan's new trees and flowers are planted. They start as a baby and grow under special conditions before being replanted elsewhere in the city.
They started this local growing program from almost zero instead of purchasing already-grown trees from elsewhere. "We try to make sure most of them are evergreen and perennial."
30 employees work on 30 types of plants today, with some being in the Red Book. The department has so far grown 30K bushes, 100K flowers, 5K trees. "The goal is to make Yerevan 100% self-sufficient, and to eventually supply other regions of Armenia."

Hello! I'm a victim of a scam and I want to share of it to warn everyone. I met a girl in Tinder, who told me that is from Hong Kong and lives in UK, in Brighton, I live in Poland so she is far from me. After a few words she ask if we can continue a talk in WhatsApp. I told her that I don't have a WhatsApp account so she send me her Facebook profile and we start talking though messenger (here is her profile page https://www.facebook.com/qiqi.wang.16503 ) Than she asked if I already created a WhatsApp account, I created (she was nice so why not?) and then we started talk there. We started talking about casual stuffs, and then after a week, she started talking about cryptocurrency, that she is rich, and she working on some big company that is investing in cryptocurrency. She told me that her company where she work, is investing in a new type of cryptocurrency calling SCIG that is producing by three big corporations in Hong Kong, Singapur and Japan and she asked me to invest too. Well of course as a stupid, naive man, I agree and invest there. Page is https://www.bitroex.com/ and is still working, I still have access to my account and to my assets. In this page is information about this SCIG cryptocurrency https://www.bitroex.com/#/lab/detail/14538 so I believed in that. She told me also that investment will end in 13 June and in 13 June I should get my money back (I know now that is bullshit). That is also written on this page. She even also invited me to her company Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/847711305824083 where they discuss about cryptocurrency stuff. I wrote about this on Forex Peace Army page https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/community/threads/possible-scam-www-bitroex-com.69942/ where people confirmed to me that is a scam. Also I found now many pages that are very similar to this Bitroex https://urlscan.io/result/1ff9e058-1213-42e9-9fbd-9fa4c1c7f702/related/?fbclid=IwAR3LTL5SI9-lVvoL-KAhUb5Zz_JYvk-Md2GtFgH2myqxt9QVYLP0CIRUOVU . So, don't invest there and avoid Asian girls on Tinder because they are probably scammers ;/

While overt operations will play a role in the retaliation, some more covert ones are needed. For these more... illegal... operations, we will have to take a different approach.
​
North Korea: Cyberwar, Inc.
North Korea has a well-established cyberwar capability and has recently begun selling its services to third parties. One of those third parties is about to become us, and we're going to buy out the entire shop, consisting of thousands of highly trained North Korean hackers. Are they the best, no, of course not--they are, after all, still North Korean. They certainly aren't as good as what we have in-house, even though they're surprisingly skilled all things considered. But they're extra talent, and talent with no official connections to China, and that's what counts here.
​
At whatever exorbitant price that North Korea charges [we've budgeted up to $500 million, and they will get to keep whatever they steal] we're siccing every trained hacker they have on what we view as the mastermind behind these plots, the United Arab Emirates [M: Even though we don't know the contents of the closed diplo, it's not hard to come to that conclusion given that Saudi Arabia is in a civil war, the UAE leads the GCC which is leading the embargo, and it has rejected our peace offerings and stated that we are an existential threat--also, assaulting the UAE is likely to spook the other participants who are in a much more frail situation].
​
Attacks will aim to be diverse and encompass the entire spectrum, with one exception, which we will do. Chinese experts will provide advice and limited intelligence and cyber-reconnaissance, but will not openly involve themselves in the operations, taking especial care to ensure that they don't touch the code the North Koreans are working on. We will maintain only a very high-level management, leaving precise means, targets, and so on to the North Koreans.
​
In addition, we'll ask the North Koreans to recruit criminal hacker groups across the globe to join on to this effort, with the North Koreans receiving additional payouts for every other criminal hacking group they bring onboard that has been verified by Chinese intelligence as actually existing [we don't trust the North Koreans that much, especially when money is on the line].
​
Targets are the following, in order of priority:
​
UAE Foreign Exchange Reserves and Sovereign Wealth Fund:
By far the most valuable target on the list for North Korea, the UAE's forex reserves are worth about $100 billion, and the sovereign wealth funds of the Emirates are valued at as much as $1 trillion. North Korean hackers will launch an all-out assault aiming to steal as much of this money as possible, destroying it if they must but, we imagine, preferably transferring it to North Korean accounts. Attacks via SWIFT like those conducted by North Korea in 2015-16 are possible--those attacks amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. We doubt that North Korea will be able to steal that much of this pile, especially given the fact that the UAE has an army of ex-Western cyberwarriors of its own, but even a relatively small quantity would be a significant psychological injury and would degrade global trust in the UAE.
​
Vital Infrastructure:
North Korea will target key pieces of infrastructure in the UAE. In particular, they will target the following facilities and attempt to force them offline. Even though the individual attacks won't do much damage, the cumulative impact will scare the public, damage investor confidence, and drive money out of the UAE.

• Dubai International Airport
• All 8 desalination plants, the only source of potable water in the UAE [top target]
• Dubai Metro
• UAE High-speed rail [as this system uses Chinese software the North Koreans will happen to find a copy of the source code to work this one over]
• Barakah Nuclear Power Plant [as this system uses South Korean software North Korea may have added experience with it]
• Ruwais Refinery, capacity 400,000 barrels of oil per day, the largest in the UAE

​
Influential Figures And Government Officials:
North Korean hackers will also target the personal devices of government officials and influential figures in the UAE, especially politicians, military commanders, and media types. They will then leak anything remotely incriminating to the global media, possibly via Wikileaks or another such site of ill repute.
​
In addition, for particularly important government officials, North Korea will be commissioned to produce deepfakes with which it will flood social media. These will mostly focus on baseless conspiracy theories and personal slanders, for instance, catching a top official on mike confessing to being a devil-worshiper, or portraying a popular imam as being with Western prostitutes.
​
​
It is hoped that these operations will cause enough domestic trouble in the UAE that they will concede on the point of the oil embargo. If nothing else, though, they should keep the UAE distracted while we move elsewhere.

Mirror Trading International Review – Forex Trading platform

With the advancement of information technology, a surge in the trend of cryptocurrency and bitcoins is observed. The race of becoming the best in forex Trading is ongoing and various cases of scams have been reported. The controversial case of mirror trading international has been analyzed to avoid any future ambiguity.
Mirror trading international is an online foreign exchange trading platform that engages artificial intelligence for foreign exchange trading. It acts as a Forex broker by facilitating the investing party to get their amount doubled through various strategies like ‘return on investment’ and ‘referral bonuses’. The two main trading platforms it utilizes are MetaTrader 4 and MT4 Mobile to generate revenue for its member accounts with a minimal amount. The overview of MTI has been presented in the table below.
​

Platform	MetaTrader 4	MT4 Mobile
Tradable assets	Bitcoins
Available account types	Standard	Mini	Managed
Account minimum	Bitcoins worth $100
Mobile app	MTI Connects

Is Mirror Trading International a scam or a legit broker?

The authenticity of any entity whether it's an individual or a company is measured by the opinions of people who are associated with it. This is because the association only remains until and unless the trust is retained. The same phenomenon can be applied to the reputation of Mirror Trading International as a broker.
During the initial phases of its existence and development, the investors came in loads and invested in MIT as they were eagerly encouraged that the revenue generated wouldn't disappoint them. However, the daily reports narrated things differently. According to the daily reports, there were claims of unmade trades on both the metatrader and mt4 platforms that it utilizes for trading. Nevertheless, it cannot be indicated from any piece of evidence, as of now, whether MTI trades are currently active or not.
The confirmation of the authenticity of the daily reports could be verified with the ongoing market records. Although, some concrete facts affect the reputation of Mirror Trading International, severely. Similarly, there were some referral bonuses too that further illusioned the interest of investors to invest money to get the benefit.
There were many security loopholes in the system. One registered user could view the intellectual property which is sensitive data without the consent of the concerned person, through a very small hack. Only altering the URL, with a different parameter, could enable a person to read data of another, without that person even knowing.
According to another victim, privacy theft at Mirror Trading international was much easier by scraping website data. This helped the scammers to get access to the personal information of the registered users such as their email addresses, names, bitcoin balances, and information of the earnings.
All such acts helped in deteriorating the trust of investors in Mirror Trading international. Such security loopholes not only finish the trust of the people but also defames the concerned acting authority globally.
Besides this, one of the business policies that the organization body at Mirror Trading International has adopted was the pyramid scheme. The scheme mainly consisted of referral bonuses. Inviting a person to MTI trading would also help you earn 10% in commission from each person you invite to join MTI. This is one of the best persuasive strategies that organizations can uphold, as people foresee it as a recruitment business.
In today's world of technology where remote communication has been much easier than ever, many would just try it out of curiosity. Believing in the fact that you're just a click away from getting a commission of 10%. So definitely, you'll persuade many of your friends, family members, and everybody to invest money in MTI.
Understanding the broker schemes can be confusing sometimes. A 10% commission has been promised by MTI as a referral bonus, this would mean that MTI is only trading with $90 of the amount paid by the payee but still pays the referrer according to the 100% investment. Similarly, if after signing up, payee requests for withdrawal, MTI still has to pay 10% of the commission.
For instance, let's consider 'Person A' gets the chunk of 'Person B's' investment. Does it mean that MTI is only trading with the remaining investment on Person B's behalf and still pays Person B on daily basis on 100% of her investment?
These conflicting questions mean that MTI must be making a fortune to cover such edgy loopholes. Keeping all such facts in consideration, MTI still doesn't generate enough revenue to satisfy its investors and whenever the investors request the withdraws, they are urged to invest more money in MTI.
Talking about the review of Mirror Trading International, it can be said that MTI has very high and unreachable returns projected which do not match any of the trading companies in the forex market. This further leaves the MTI members perplexed by the authenticity of Mirror Trading International.

Mirror Trading International- Registration

MTI was founded by the forex and cryptocurrency experts. All the crypto wizards were well aware of the fact that how the forex market had revolted against the revolution of bitcoin but these experts thought the other way round. They mirrored through the emerging field of blockchain and utilized the metatrader and mt4 platforms for the trade of bitcoins in Mirror Trading International.
The main aim of the professionals at Mirror Trading International was to transfer the paradigm shift in finance to those people who were new to blockchain and had no cryptocurrency at all. Therefore, they kept the registration process simple. They started with $100 worth of bitcoins and with the help of the veteran's founder and trading bots, they helped MTI members to get steady revenue. Due to its motto of increasing the bitcoins, and great efforts MTI has renowned itself in the forex market globally.
Whereas the registration of MTI is concerned, there are many controversies that it is not registered, but the facts reveal that this South African company is registered. But being registered does not mean that it is credible. A registered company can be a fraud if not regulated. The administration asks the investors to check the initials from the report issued by them, but again, the authenticity of the report is under question.

Mirror Trading International- Regulation

There is no proof that Mirror Trading International is regulated by any giant financial body. ‘Financial Services Conduct Authority’ (FSCA), South Africa's Financial regulatory body issued a warning against the platform of mirror trading international. There isn’t any information related to the MTI in the different databases, which proves that the concerned trading organization isn’t listed in the market.
This definitely means that the sole entity of Mirror Trading International is not reliable at all, because, money invested would never be returned, similarly referrals would keep adding and never be withdrawn.

Mirror Trading International- Account Types

Mirror Trading international has three types of accounts that include, standard, mini, and managed trading accounts.
Standard Trading Accounts is a well-renowned account in the forex market. Since the standard record requires sufficient direct front money to exchange full parts, most intermediaries offer more types of assistance and better advantages for singular financial brokers who have this sort of record. Only experienced types of traders are recommended to keep this account. To have access to this account, you would need to have a handsome amount of capital, which decreases the potential to invest in it.
This record gives the client admittance to standard heaps of money each worth $100,000.
Mini Trading Accounts are essentially a trading account that grants vendors to make trades using downsized bundles. In most currency market reserves, a limited scale part is identical to $10,000, or one-tenth of a standard record. However, a mini trading account is at a lower risk than the standard trading account. It requires low capital and is much more flexible.
Managed Trading Account are accounts that have capital that solely belong to you but the decision to sell and buy is not dependent on yours. There is a much risk involved in such type of account because if the forex market fluctuates you wouldn't be able to circulate your money. After all, the decision is not yours.
All these three accounts can be maintained at MTI; however, a person should choose wisely keeping into consideration the aforementioned pros and cons of each account type.

Mirror Trading International -Banking

Mirror Trading International has guaranteed FX Choice was its broker. Utilizing FX Choice’s platform, Mirror Trading International claimed to exchange computer-based intelligence bots. Presently a delegate from FX Choice has uncovered Mirror Trading International by saying that it was booted from their platform back in June. Who could have imagined, trading was practically non-existent?
In a Forex Peace Army thread, examining MTI and FX Choice, agent George A. gave details about the connection between the two organizations. There was a need to offer a public expression about Mirror Trading International (MTI).
As we have been referenced as their dealer in the organization's advertising materials, we need to put any misinformation to rest. MTI opened a record pronouncing that every one of the assets they planned to trade was their own. Because of huge stores, and the way that FX Choice was referenced in their advertising recordings, there was a need to investigate MTI.
MTI opened an individual record profile in 2017 under the name of its present Chief, yet we didn't see any dubious movement with the trading volume and the stores were little. Their action got in May 2020; at this point, the record had been changed over to corporate status. This was the point at which the stores and trades were made.

Deposits

Many people feel challenged in depositing and funding their accounts with bitcoin (cryptocurrency). Having a blockchain account is important before funding your trading account.
Comparing the deposits of the founding members of MTI, it can be said that there were up to 2% of the deposits and, 6% of the withdrawals. Similarly, founding members of MTI have received 18% of the overall bonus.
Another stat helps in revealing the right information of the founding members of MTI. Subtracting the deposits from the withdrawals reveals that the founding members' accounts have a profit of 527 bitcoin, which is the 96 million Rupee, while non-founding members were bearing a loss of about 1.8 billion Rupees.
However, the above stats were nullified by the management of Mirror Trading International (MTI). They said that people are busy disgracing the uplift of MTI. However, it would continue to grow at its best.

Withdrawals

The solitary way your Bitcoin will develop is the point at which it is in exchange. Consistently exchanging begins on Monday at one moment past 12:00 PM and finishes on a Friday at one moment before 12:00 PM.
The statement running takes place toward the finish of each exchanging day and all withdrawal demands are submitted to the dealer soon after the explanation run is finished.
These withdrawal demands are then settled and you'll get your Bitcoin 12 to 48 hours after the fact. It should be noted that when you affirm your withdrawal demand your mentioned Bitcoin sum goes on hold and you will not get the exchanging benefits for the day on that sum.

Trading Platforms

MetaTrader 4 and MT4 Mobile Trading Platforms are utilized by MTI. MetaTrader 4 (MT4) is the world's most mainstream Forex exchanging stage. Control your record, exchange and examine the Forex market utilizing specialized pointers and graphical items, through MT4 trading platform app.
Mirror Trading International- Assets Offered

How to protect yourself

The initial investors are the real benefiters from the services of the company. However, when there seems to be less cash flow, the system breaks the services provided to those initial investors. As we have seen in the above facts and details of MTI, the return it promises is really unrealistic. It is also not disclosing which of the people are running their business. In a situation like this, your money is never safe. Your hard work money would be used to benefit their schemes. You would never be able to get back your capital. As soon as their website collapses, you would never be able to trace back all your financial records. It would seem that you never invested in such a company because all the records would vanish.
MTI is operating on its own, which means it isn't obliged to any of the standards of the financial bodies. MTI has its own policies and they would do whatever they believe is beneficial, solely for them.

Mirror Trading International Review – Forex Trading platform

With the advancement of information technology, a surge in the trend of cryptocurrency and bitcoins is observed. The race of becoming the best in forex Trading is ongoing and various cases of scams have been reported. The controversial case of mirror trading international has been analyzed to avoid any future ambiguity.
Mirror trading international is an online foreign exchange trading platform that engages artificial intelligence for foreign exchange trading. It acts as a Forex broker by facilitating the investing party to get their amount doubled through various strategies like ‘return on investment’ and ‘referral bonuses’. The two main trading platforms it utilizes are MetaTrader 4 and MT4 Mobile to generate revenue for its member accounts with a minimal amount. The overview of MTI has been presented in the table below.
​

Platform	MetaTrader 4	MT4 Mobile
Tradable assets	Bitcoins
Available account types	Standard	Mini	Managed

Is Mirror Trading International a scam or a legit broker?

The authenticity of any entity whether it's an individual or a company is measured by the opinions of people who are associated with it. This is because the association only remains until and unless the trust is retained. The same phenomenon can be applied to the reputation of Mirror Trading International as a broker.
During the initial phases of its existence and development, the investors came in loads and invested in MIT as they were eagerly encouraged that the revenue generated wouldn't disappoint them. However, the daily reports narrated things differently. According to the daily reports, there were claims of unmade trades on both the metatrader and mt4 platforms that it utilizes for trading. Nevertheless, it cannot be indicated from any piece of evidence, as of now, whether MTI trades are currently active or not.
The confirmation of the authenticity of the daily reports could be verified with the ongoing market records. Although, some concrete facts affect the reputation of Mirror Trading International, severely. Similarly, there were some referral bonuses too that further illusioned the interest of investors to invest money to get the benefit.
There were many security loopholes in the system. One registered user could view the intellectual property which is sensitive data without the consent of the concerned person, through a very small hack. Only altering the URL, with a different parameter, could enable a person to read data of another, without that person even knowing.
According to another victim, privacy theft at Mirror Trading international was much easier by scraping website data. This helped the scammers to get access to the personal information of the registered users such as their email addresses, names, bitcoin balances, and information of the earnings.
All such acts helped in deteriorating the trust of investors in Mirror Trading international. Such security loopholes not only finish the trust of the people but also defames the concerned acting authority globally.
Besides this, one of the business policies that the organization body at Mirror Trading International has adopted was the pyramid scheme. The scheme mainly consisted of referral bonuses. Inviting a person to MTI trading would also help you earn 10% in commission from each person you invite to join MTI. This is one of the best persuasive strategies that organizations can uphold, as people foresee it as a recruitment business.
In today's world of technology where remote communication has been much easier than ever, many would just try it out of curiosity. Believing in the fact that you're just a click away from getting a commission of 10%. So definitely, you'll persuade many of your friends, family members, and everybody to invest money in MTI.
Understanding the broker schemes can be confusing sometimes. A 10% commission has been promised by MTI as a referral bonus, this would mean that MTI is only trading with $90 of the amount paid by the payee but still pays the referrer according to the 100% investment. Similarly, if after signing up, payee requests for withdrawal, MTI still has to pay 10% of the commission.
For instance, let's consider 'Person A' gets the chunk of 'Person B's' investment. Does it mean that MTI is only trading with the remaining investment on Person B's behalf and still pays Person B on daily basis on 100% of her investment?
These conflicting questions mean that MTI must be making a fortune to cover such edgy loopholes. Keeping all such facts in consideration, MTI still doesn't generate enough revenue to satisfy its investors and whenever the investors request the withdraws, they are urged to invest more money in MTI.
Talking about the review of Mirror Trading International, it can be said that MTI has very high and unreachable returns projected which do not match any of the trading companies in the forex market. This further leaves the MTI members perplexed by the authenticity of Mirror Trading International.

Mirror Trading International- Registration

MTI was founded by the forex and cryptocurrency experts. All the crypto wizards were well aware of the fact that how the forex market had revolted against the revolution of bitcoin but these experts thought the other way round. They mirrored through the emerging field of blockchain and utilized the metatrader and mt4 platforms for the trade of bitcoins in Mirror Trading International.
The main aim of the professionals at Mirror Trading International was to transfer the paradigm shift in finance to those people who were new to blockchain and had no cryptocurrency at all. Therefore, they kept the registration process simple. They started with $100 worth of bitcoins and with the help of the veteran's founder and trading bots, they helped MTI members to get steady revenue. Due to its motto of increasing the bitcoins, and great efforts MTI has renowned itself in the forex market globally.
Whereas the registration of MTI is concerned, there are many controversies that it is not registered, but the facts reveal that this South African company is registered. But being registered does not mean that it is credible. A registered company can be a fraud if not regulated. The administration asks the investors to check the initials from the report issued by them, but again, the authenticity of the report is under question.

Mirror Trading International- Regulation

There is no proof that Mirror Trading International is regulated by any giant financial body. ‘Financial Services Conduct Authority’ (FSCA), South Africa's Financial regulatory body issued a warning against the platform of mirror trading international. There isn’t any information related to the MTI in the different databases, which proves that the concerned trading organization isn’t listed in the market.
This definitely means that the sole entity of Mirror Trading International is not reliable at all, because, money invested would never be returned, similarly referrals would keep adding and never be withdrawn.

Mirror Trading International- Account Types

Mirror Trading international has three types of accounts that include, standard, mini, and managed trading accounts.
Standard Trading Accounts is a well-renowned account in the forex market. Since the standard record requires sufficient direct front money to exchange full parts, most intermediaries offer more types of assistance and better advantages for singular financial brokers who have this sort of record. Only experienced types of traders are recommended to keep this account. To have access to this account, you would need to have a handsome amount of capital, which decreases the potential to invest in it.
This record gives the client admittance to standard heaps of money each worth $100,000.
Mini Trading Accounts are essentially a trading account that grants vendors to make trades using downsized bundles. In most currency market reserves, a limited scale part is identical to $10,000, or one-tenth of a standard record. However, a mini trading account is at a lower risk than the standard trading account. It requires low capital and is much more flexible.
Managed Trading Account are accounts that have capital that solely belong to you but the decision to sell and buy is not dependent on yours. There is a much risk involved in such type of account because if the forex market fluctuates you wouldn't be able to circulate your money. After all, the decision is not yours.
All these three accounts can be maintained at MTI; however, a person should choose wisely keeping into consideration the aforementioned pros and cons of each account type.

Mirror Trading International -Banking

Mirror Trading International has guaranteed FX Choice was its broker. Utilizing FX Choice’s platform, Mirror Trading International claimed to exchange computer-based intelligence bots. Presently a delegate from FX Choice has uncovered Mirror Trading International by saying that it was booted from their platform back in June. Who could have imagined, trading was practically non-existent?
In a Forex Peace Army thread, examining MTI and FX Choice, agent George A. gave details about the connection between the two organizations. There was a need to offer a public expression about Mirror Trading International (MTI).
As we have been referenced as their dealer in the organization's advertising materials, we need to put any misinformation to rest. MTI opened a record pronouncing that every one of the assets they planned to trade was their own. Because of huge stores, and the way that FX Choice was referenced in their advertising recordings, there was a need to investigate MTI.
MTI opened an individual record profile in 2017 under the name of its present Chief, yet we didn't see any dubious movement with the trading volume and the stores were little. Their action got in May 2020; at this point, the record had been changed over to corporate status. This was the point at which the stores and trades were made.

Deposits

Many people feel challenged in depositing and funding their accounts with bitcoin (cryptocurrency). Having a blockchain account is important before funding your trading account.
Comparing the deposits of the founding members of MTI, it can be said that there were up to 2% of the deposits and, 6% of the withdrawals. Similarly, founding members of MTI have received 18% of the overall bonus.
Another stat helps in revealing the right information of the founding members of MTI. Subtracting the deposits from the withdrawals reveals that the founding members' accounts have a profit of 527 bitcoin, which is the 96 million Rupee, while non-founding members were bearing a loss of about 1.8 billion Rupees.
However, the above stats were nullified by the management of Mirror Trading International (MTI). They said that people are busy disgracing the uplift of MTI. However, it would continue to grow at its best.

Withdrawals

The solitary way your Bitcoin will develop is the point at which it is in exchange. Consistently exchanging begins on Monday at one moment past 12:00 PM and finishes on a Friday at one moment before 12:00 PM.
The statement running takes place toward the finish of each exchanging day and all withdrawal demands are submitted to the dealer soon after the explanation run is finished.
These withdrawal demands are then settled and you'll get your Bitcoin 12 to 48 hours after the fact. It should be noted that when you affirm your withdrawal demand your mentioned Bitcoin sum goes on hold and you will not get the exchanging benefits for the day on that sum.

Trading Platforms

MetaTrader 4 and MT4 Mobile Trading Platforms are utilized by MTI. MetaTrader 4 (MT4) is the world's most mainstream Forex exchanging stage. Control your record, exchange and examine the Forex market utilizing specialized pointers and graphical items, through MT4 trading platform app.

Mirror Trading International- Assets Offered

The assets offered by MTI are Only bitcoins. You cannot trade in any local currency; MTI accepts the bitcoin investment and shares the profit via bitcoins.

Hi guys! :)
I believe this is a good question for anyone who's new, especially coming from Europe, as we can't use WeBull or Robinhood, which I believe work pretty safe under all the regulations and after I've seen so many of you guys using them (though that doesn't guarantee you were able to easily withdraw profits still).
I've been digging in some of the old posts but I am very anxious about starting an account with brokers such as:

• TD Ameritrade
• Plus500
• Interactive Brokersetc.

A quick search gives me results such as:

• https://www.consumeraffairs.com/finance/ameritrade.html
• https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/forex-reviews/5759/www.tdameritrade.com-stock-broker
• https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/forex-reviews/3696/www.thinkorswim.com
• https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/forex-reviews/113/interactivebrokers-stock-broker
• https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/forex-reviews/5374/plus500.com-forex-brokers
• https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/plus500

and the list could go on and on when it comes to brokers like those. I know these sites, especially Forex Peace Army, and these are mostly real opinions and reviews from real people who were scammed.
Thing is, in the past I used to work with the Prosecutor's Office and investigators on cases of brokerage scams, and plenty of such companies (even some of these I named) were also involved at times. I am really anxious about it as I can see everywhere people writing about playing against the brokers, so your loss is their gain clearly and I know some of the victims myself, who were simply scammed and robbed off of their hard-earned money, even life savings at times.
I've been trading normal stocks through my brokerage account at my bank in Poland, but I have no idea how can I safely trade pennystocks like you guys and be sure that if I actually become successful I am not going to be denied by the brokerage company that is going to come up with hundreds of excuses, technical problems, delays, questions for documents and verification, not replying etc. in order not to let a withdrawal go through. I know this all too well.
Can you guys recommend any legitimate brokers that are regulated by SEC or other financial authorities in the US for a non-US citizen? I don't trust CySEC, ASIC etc. - these guys are paid to give out licenses to anyone who pays well, so that's not safe at all, especially CySEC. Look how proud they were of IronFX in the past.
I will really appreciate any answers I can get :)
Thanks!
