DislikedOh I'm not irritated at them or anything, I just don't want people to be disappointed when it doesn't happen again.
Don't join FXCM in anticipation of this, I had clients do that and have now had them close those accounts and move on.
From my talks with them, it seemed like they didn't want to promote this was happening much. I think they would prefer users on their platform.Ignored
DislikedI would steer clear of FXCM. It took me over a week to try to get funds wired out. And I still have not yet received the funds. Also, the spreads tend to widen at inopportune times.
I do not know why my previous thread was marked as an attempt to solicit customer service and moved to the recycle bin. The purpose of the thread was to share a negative experience that would likely be relevant to others considering brokers.
Also, a statement was made that "obviously, FXCM is not attempting to steal your money". That is probably true, but to delay someone access to their funds several days beyond the stated terms is a material shortfall of service.Ignored
DislikedAgain, i said: my thread was not an attempt to solicit customer service. I was looking to share a negative experience with a broker that would likely be relevant to others looking for brokers. An assumption was made as to the intention of my post based on the actions of a representative of FXCM.Ignored
DislikedI also received an infraction for sharing the negative experience. Don't really understand what rule I brokeIgnored
DislikedFXCM sure did a good job on lowering the spreads, it's 17:11 EST now, spread on euro is 0.6, never seen such low spreads at this broker. It's not typical though, they will usually have it at 2-2.5 on euro, about the same on usd/jpy, and a couple of others, but so far this is an improvement.Ignored
