    What brokers do you use to access currenex platform?

    PropFX will give you access for a $10K minimum - much less than most brokers. Thats the best deal for margin accounts. If you are using a PB account you have many options. How do you normally trade? And is there a reason you want CX as opposed to other platforms? T/G

    Anyone traded propfx live?

    With an ECN there are two ways to make money if you aren't making a market: 1. An additional commission to the spread 2. A widened spread Thats it. Its like saying that the spread is a "manipluation" of prices. How do you think its going to operate? I wish it was free trades as well...

    Anyone traded propfx live?

    Currenex is only software. If you contact Currenex they won't be able to help you. Most whitelables on CX work exactly the same, how could a firm that doesn't make prices on the platfrom manipulate anything? I think you may be confused about how Currenex works. Trader/God

    Things currency traders never say

    1. Well that was a bad trade and I deserved to lose, my broker had nothing to do with it 2. That was just a lucky trade, skill wasn’t a factor 3. That idea that there is an international conspiracy against currency traders that extends to all firms whose sole purpose to rip off traders is...

    Broker Horror Stories??

    If it’s so “well documented” surely you can provide a screen capture or one single shred of evidence. I’m not holding my breath. You and the rest of the drooling conspiracy theorists have such grand ideas about how the manipulations that go on and yet even with your advanced...

    Anybody have this happen with FXCM?!

    The idea that a firm with literally 10’s of thousands of accounts would do that is kind of absurd. Even assuming a small % are trading at anyone time, to have someone follow those accounts, to learn my habits or even notice if I have 10 lots in the market is silly. Not that it would be...

    Broker Horror Stories??

    As I've posted previously: You can always count on the conspiracy theorists coming out of the woodwork whenever something happens with their trading platform. I can almost see the rabble frothing at the mouth while they breathlessly type in that, “omg, the fxcm zionists are manipulating the...

    legit firm

    You are looking for an ECN. Firms that claim to offer interbank feeds are lying, its just marketing puffery. A currenex based platform will show spreads and depth available in the market from all the banks feeding the platform. You’ll see the best bids and offers available and the depth...

    "no rollover" account

    No idea where this poster is getting his false info from, when it’s so easy to call and ask. FXCM does offer "interest free" accounts designed for religious reasons. Go on their chat and they will send you an interest free form if you request it. They eat the interest. Despite what you...

    Volume on Currenex

    You won't be able to access that historical info from the platform. The closest thing might be to use an API to capture the data but it won't backfill. Trader/God

    Volume on Currenex

    Volume around the current level is displayed on Currenex. There are three different ways to display the volume on the Cx platform. You can modify by using the drop down menu in the center of the platform on the top. It defaults to "Standard." When the volume is shown as Standard each counter...

    I need broker help!

    FXCM Pro is a Currenex based platform so you’ll get great execution but if Currenex itself goes down (which is very rare but of course possible) you won’t be able to execute trades on the phone because their dealing desk would execute them through the same platform. If the issue is on your...
