    Following up on Gold, price needs to break ~920 to the upside by January 31 for a confirmed breakout. If it fails and shows weakness this may be a good time to short.

    Great news - thanks to a recommendation from a poster in this thread I threatened FXCM with the possibility of reporting them to the NFA. They reviewed the case again and decided to make me whole. So as it stands FXCM just needed a little prodding to take my claim seriously. Thank you to...

    Thanks David I'm going to give Oanda a shot... if their spreads are actually as tight as they claim I've cost myself hundreds of pips trading through FXCM... on the EURAUD pair.

    Is this legit?

    wavel I appreciate the input. I've followed up per your suggestion and explained the NFA will become involved if I don't hear from them with a resolution (proof of validity or admission of fault) today. They didn't tell me to go screw explicitly but they didn't address my concern with the...

    Is this legit?

    The spread on EURAUD blew out to 120 pips for 1-2 ticks during the rollover period at FXCM and forced me out of my positions because of it.
