It may not be news that FXCM trades against you, but you may find this interesting anyway. FXCM posted a job opening on linkedin for a fx trader. Part of the duties of the job are to "continuously track firm’s net positions against its client base..." Happy trading!!

As I always say, I'd rather have a sister on a stripper pole than a brother as a forex broker.
