http://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/SearchResults.aspx?type=firm&firm=FOREX+CAPITAL+MARKETS It doesn't show that at all, if you had done even 1/2 ounce of research it would be clear that is a fake. To even suggest that this is FXCM is a laughably desperate attempt to smear the firm...

Jim, I can almost see you frothing at the mouth when you type your paranoid posts. I hope that it won't push you over the edge when RefcoFX customers justifibly sing the praises of FXCM for bailing them out. Mark my words, etch it in stone, the funds are safe. The customers WILL get...

Hysterical, so basically traders win and dealing desks lose. FXCM doesn't care if you make or lose money on a trade they only make a spread and like most market makers offset most trades internally. Unless you believe that they have the staff 24 hours a day to monitor your $300 mini account...

Jim all that doom and gloom you were scaring these guys with never came to pass. RefcoFX was a subcontractor controlled by FXCM and did keep the funds seperate. Although they still fell under the Refco umbrella and were included in the bankruptcy (which is why the funds were frozen) it was...

Some market makers have Interest Free accounts for Arabic clients. Of course that means you don't earn interest either. FXCM is one that will allow you to open an interst free account but you have to ask for the form. Trader/God

Deal just went through. Has to work its way trough court but basically a done deal. Your funds are still there and safe and you will be able to access them soon. Expect an announcement soon. Trader/God

Traders not located in BC most likely got sent to the US branch for opening to avoid the regulatory hassles of opening a Canadian account. The authorities there can say, "you're too old/dumb/poor so you aren't allowed to trade," and you won't be permitted to open the account. But, in the US as...

You can view the Form 4 or, “Statement of changes in beneficial ownership of securities” filings on the SEC website, and there are several websites that track relevant filings. Trader/God

On Bloomberg, Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Select, Go is the secret combination that tells the close of the S&P for that trading session. Its the only one I use. Trader/God

Most likely. Ken Fisher of Fisher Investments, http://www.fi.com/ has done the research written about this. His Forbes columns are always a good read. Trader/God

One of the biggest misconceptions in trading is that you can make directional trades using the VIX. Chart, correlate, or datamine the hell out of it, and you still won't find anything. Same thing with the daily price change in oil and the S&P, look at it yourself. No correlation. Trader/God

Most charts have some sort of export function, and you can get free recent data at a couple places on the internet. http://www.fin-rus.com/analysis/export/_eng_/default.asp Is one to try. Trader/God Data, Data, Data, I can't make bricks with out clay!

To avoid what Chood is talking about try out one of the several ECN type platforms out there. No market maker, and no excuses but you are subject to the whims of the market. Trader/God

1. As Wallet pointed out the biggest difference is the emotion involved when real money is on the line. Other than that they are the same. 2. Make sure you choose a regulated firm. Remember RefcoFX was unregulated and "borrowed" the registration info of their parent, it won't give you...

I don't see any impetus for a rally before the end of the year. If the funds are so far down that "painting the tape" won't help at all, they might as well take a bath this quarter to make it easier to bounce back in the new year. Trader/God

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with the difference, but how a lot of retail firms work is they have their normal retail platform (where you trade w/ the dealing desk) and also a higher level institutional platform that works like an ECN. The goal is capturing a lot of retail on the low end and...

OneHipCat, this post actually explains it in good detail with some broker suggestions. Trader/God

If you are trading that rapidly often don't bother with a retail platfrom. Get a currenex based ECN from one of the larger firms, most of them have it. You'll get faster execution and no requotes. Trader/God

Lots of guys got crushed on that GBP/JPY move. The pair hasn't broken that level for a year and a half and it always ranges, so it looked like a good bet to short at that level even with the rolls against them. Nope, got blown out of the water. Who won? The systems traders who were long GBP...
