The only lawuits I could find against FXCM were involving introducing brokers (like the signal providers who say you can open such and such firm and get our service half off). One was Gibraltor. Go to cftc.org, go to "ask CFTC" under customer protection, then type 'FXCM lawsuits' in the...

Traders lose because they overleverage. Across the board, this is why they lose. They talk about the market moving against them and the 'market maker' hitting their stop but that is a scapegoat. NFP moves 60 to 100 PIPs or more in seconds, so do not open too many lots or keep the account...

Any regulated FCM is subject to audits by the NFA. If they did not receive a quote from a bank it cannot be quoted to the client. The manipulation of prices argument is antiquated.

The sanitized environment needs no elaboration. Trade futures or equities, plece a stop and then come tell me if you got the exact price you asked for. But I am not sure that answers the argument. In fact I am confused by the argument. I was generalizing the two types of clients that are...

one at a time First, a market maker in Forex is offering retail traders the ability to access a market that trades 1.9 Trillion notional value. If you think picking a couple 100k lots is going to help create an efficient market you are wrong, again. Watch an ECN or any Currenex platform...

I was deciding between MB and FXCM. I had traded with Sol, but I wanted variable spreads, and those 2 seemed like the best.

During last week's NFP I saw a spread of 6 on FXCM (EURUSD) and 15 on MBTrading. That was the final straw for me.

I am a trader. I analyze fundamentals for long term trades and study price action for intra-day trades. Trying to pick off slow prices is called trading on price latency. Any and every broker in the world will cut you off when you do this. Period. You will continue to bounce form one broker to...

I am relatively familiar with them. I recently closed an account elsewhere. They have 2 platforms for accounts under 10k (like mine). You can have a dealing desk, which is great for fixed spreads, "under normal conditions" (this is a mantra you will hear them repeat everytime they say it) and a...

They have a fund developed around trading against the client. The founder was a well known quant who fell out of the public eye shortly after the firm broke ground. The fund is disclosed on their site, this is not a secret. (sorry, off subject, but that statement was blatantly ignorant)

MBTrading is a pretty small broker, but I watched their rates on Friday (NFP) and they were decent. On top of the news the EURUSD spread to 15PIPs, but it was real tight the rest of the day. I can say, be careful when choosing a broker due strictly to the freebies (charts, news signals). That...
