DislikedHi 8 Fingers,
I personally reach out to users on the forum experiencing technical issues to investigate what is happening. While I can't go into each cases details, I can tell you in the most recent cases FXCM support hasn't been contacted to identify what is happening. FXCM keeps records of technical issues so even after the fact, we can review logs to review trades if there was a technical issue.

DislikedI'm not aware of it but if they DO use their bridge tech they most definitely dont use the Broker AUTO-Stealing Plugin (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=70582). CFX is one of the cleanest feeds on the net right not. ATCBrokers uses the FXCM feed but your trades dont go through FXJERK servers and they are also one of the best on the interweb. - Some brokers just want to steal from you using whatever tech they can get their crappy hands on. (Guns dont kill people, People...) - BT pisses me off because I demo'd the FXCM BT MT4...Ignored
DislikedHi Fulltime247, Sorry about the late reply, but demo accounts don't simulate slippage so I'm not sure what you mean in terms of entries and exits. A demo can be registered by downloading the platform from our website http://www.fxcm.co.uk/metatrader.jsp . The idea that we would want the platform to run poorly is silly nonetheless. Our customer service is available 24/7 if you have questions or need help with the demo and you can always message me directly.

DislikedHere is a trade I made on Friday through Boston Technologies and FXCM. You can see that I sold at 1.4636 and had a take profit of 1.4590. You can also see what I made on the trade 0. I was told that the data never made it across the bridge between Boston Technologies and FXCM. So I'm out about 40 pips. It's hard enough making pips in this without being robbed out of them. I wouldn't use either Boston Technologies or FXCM.

DislikedHi spritz2,
Thank you for posting the details about your trade.
Your position was open from the times 10:33 to 11:33 ET, and the ask price did not quote 1.4590 during that time. Please see the chart below from Marketscope which can be set to show either the bid or ask prices. Since you have a short position the Ask (buy) price needs to reach 1.4590.

DislikedHi Tom
FXCM is moving MT4 accounts to FXCM UK due to how FIFO will affect expert advisors. Allowing our traders to use expert advisors was one of the big reasons we decided to launch MT4.
I know that many brokers have been announcing their solution for MT4 FIFO compliance, but each solution has individual quirks that would require an EA to be re-coded in almost every case. Some brokers are allowing you to close positions non-FIFO as long as you are closing same size positions. Some allow hedging intraday but then close the hedged trades in FIFO...Ignored
