hahaha...i'll take the last few posts as a compliment. anyway, i simply gave my two cents and on a forum like this i'm entitled to share my opinion/perspective. my point is that i've had a good experience with this firm as well as another and you're entitled to disagree. what i find...

hi Pippi, you're definitely right...they're bigger than some other shops out there. i think the CFTC financials for which you provided a link is a pretty telling tale...i'm glad you posted it. anyone trying to figure out how big a market maker's book of business is can determine it...

hi OddTrader, i have accounts with FXCM and Gain...though i have a preference for FXCM. based on the homework i've done plus my own personal experiences i find that FXCM has a better overall "package". relative to my experiences with other market makers i find that the...

hi, i believe that's true but if you check out their site they also state that they charge a commission that basically equates to an extra 1 pip on both sides of the trade. also, i've seen their spreads fluctuate wider due to even mild volatility...but not sure if this necessarily matters for...

hi all, i'm new to this forum but i have been trading over 9 years four of which have been in fx...just thought i could add my two-cents to this conversation... currenex, though an excellent platform, in and of itself doesn't automatically mean you get excellent access to liquidity and...
