DislikedThey are one of the strangest bunch FXCM. They don't allow U.S residents as well as residents of Australia to open a micro account. Yet they have a micro trading competition with prizes which are available only to some parts of the world.Ignored
All micro accounts with a minimum balance of $500 are automatically entered into the King of the Micro contest each month, including US residents. If a specific country is excluded, it is because we don't accept micro accounts from that country. Applicants of the following countries or provinces cannot apply for an FXCM Micro account: Australia, Belarus, Brazil, British Columbia (Canada), Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iran, Iraq,
Ivory Coast, Liberia, Myanmar, North Korea, South Korea,
Quebec (Canada), Sudan, Syria, and Zimbabwe.
Australian traders are required to open their accounts through FXCM Australia; however, we do not have micro accounts available through FXCM Australia at the moment.
