Typical ET poster. Your argument is lost so you have to critisize me for trading 1k lots. How sad. Let’s compare the 2. If Eur/Usd has a spread of 1.7 pips on FXCM, that would cost me $1.70 on a 10k lot. With MB, they charge a $1 roundtrip commission. So the spread would have to be .7 pips...

Yes I know Tradestation is clearing through Gain and they are also a bucketshop. But still nobody has given any proof of either making quotes outside of the market. I have searched around on Google about any institution that I open an account with. There are a lot of the typical complaints...

Stop hunting is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard. Think about it for a minute. Now obviously if I put a stop in the FXCM system, they can see it. Since they are taking the other side of my trade, isn’t that sort of like showing the casino your cards? Well technically yes. Except that...

Isn’t this exactly the kind of behavior that I previously said was so stupid about ET. Nobody wants to have a meaningful conversation around here to accomplish something, you just score some points on your “Stupid things to do today” list. Nobody has yet given any examples of FXCM screwing...

I have never gotten an error message while placing a trade except when it was in the scalping range, which is annoying sometimes. Please post your screen shots, I’d be interested to see them. If I had a video camera, I’d record some live trades. When I click a price, I get that price...

The only complaints I’ve been hearing is that they’re a scam and will steal your money and blah blah. But nobody gives any proof or examples. Assumably they are talking about stop hunting, widening spreads, system outages etc. All of which nobody has given any examples. Like I said before...

There is no disadvantage to using the dealing desk for intraday trades unless you are scalping. Otherwise, I still don’t see what’s the advantage to either one, it all comes down to the spread and commissions and what the broker offers. Who cares if they’re taking the other side of the...

I trade 1k lots on the dealing desk model. They are taking the other side, I assume. I like to trade 1k lots because I scale in and out of everything. Right now I have 20 positions open. That gives me the flexibility to trade at whatever price I want and not worry about taking a large position...

Again, please explain. How long is this thread? And yet nobody has given any evidence or proof of them screwing with their clients. What do you mean they have no rules? I only have one rule for them, as long as they treat me fair, I will be their client. The moment they try to screw me, I will...

Well I guess you could say the same thing about IB, but I’ve never traded with them and the complaints I hear about them seem to be mostly about margin requirements and customer service. For bigger traders, IB is probably better. I just like what FXCM offers. I see on IB’s website, they...

Hey, I live with my parents! Not in the basement though, that would be my sister. Anyways, it ceases to amaze me how people around here can’t answer a simple question. Nobody wants to have a meaningful, productive conversation around here. For instance, in the political and economic...

You are absolutely hilarious! What’s with the new screen name? Adding a 1. What you think we wouldn’t notice? Why don’t you just put an end to this and simply show us how FXCM screws their clients. I’ve placed about 10 market orders today, I got the price displayed everytime. No...

Are you saying to ignore me or Exception? I’m assuming you’re talking about him. I don’t care if someone critisizes, just back up your statements. You can’t make false statements and then not stand by them, that’s slander. I have been a mostly losing trader for about 7 years, but with...

HA! You can’t back up your statements or give any examples so you have to turn to critisizing me that I don’t trade 100k lots. I hope you’re not a lawyer. You have no arguments. The judge would throw your case out and scold you for wasting the courts time.

Exactly, more rhetoric, no substance. You want me to trade at a Swiss firm with 4 pip spreads when I can trade at a US regulated firm with 1.2 pip spreads. I think you’re the one who needs the medical help. I’m still waiting for your examples of people being screwed.

That was a very funny story he gave about how he screwed the bucketshop. There are 2 major flaws that can be exploited with FXCM. I will give you a clue – stops. That doesn’t include while ago their system used to go down for 30-60 seconds at a time, but you would still be able to...

Just the kind of response I thought I’d get. You are all talk, no game. Give me a damn example of FXCM screwing you or someone else, otherwise I think I’m going to have to take an Exception to anything you say.

What is wrong with a bucketshop? Please give me one example of FXCM ripping you or anybody off. Just one example please. And don’t give me one of those “oh come on, you can’t be serious. You must be a paid promoter and must work for them” crap. Why should I trade at ACM with their 4 pip...

What do you mean? Are you saying that all schooling through college should be free and paid for by just the states? I hear this a lot, mostly from people who just like to find reasons to hate the government. Libertarians have this, I believe flawed, logic that we can just let everybody do...

Yes I voted for Ron Paul. Here is my ballot to prove it. Why are you so hung up on abortion? It is not a big issue in the Republican arena. Ron Paul is against it, but ulitimately thinks it should be decided by the states, which means an overturn of Roe v Wade. He tells a story when he was in...
