Hi Mozak,

fxcm have two trading platforms one is the MT4 which gave me (and others) endless problems, and Maketscope which is so smooth and works perfectly. In the end I moved to ProRealCharts with IG in the UK.

Hi Mozak,

What's happening when you try to close an order? Let me know and I can help.

Marketscope is the charting package found inside our Trading Station platform. Trading Station is our own platform created by FXCM.

i just open demo acc on fxcm, but what so hard/dificult to close profit order.... why ?... i can not imagine if thats case happen on real acc.
I saw that several times trading with those crocks on my live account. It's all part of their strategy to cheat retails traders. Again, do your homework and be aware that you're wasting your time and money with FXCM. They are plain criminals.

FXCM sued after canceling trades that netted $460,000

Quote
The company had earlier banned her husband from trading CFDs because they suspected him of gaming the platform.

You're a multi-million dollar company with a $151 million dollar regulatory capital reserve and $725 million in customer equity. Your Q3 revenues were $61.4 million and yet you're saying you can't secure your own platform?

Unbelievable, not sure why anybody is still using FXCM. They're just filled with controversy like this.

I highly recommend FXCM marketscope DEMO for charting only. That's the best thing this scam of a broker has ever come out with. I do NOT recommend the demo for practicing as it's as garbage as the live account. These guys turn you off just by trying their demo and they expect you to open a real account with them after you have been scammed with your paper money ROFL! I think at this point their goal is to scam as many people as possible before their inevitable global shutdown. Then they cash out and retire (hopefully in jail).

"scammed with my paper money"? Seriously? How would this benefit FXCM?

Yes it blows my mind how terrible this broker is. Try marketscope demo. During the slightest increase in volatility they hype up spreads hard and it does not show on the spread tab. If price moves like 10 pips in 2-3 sec they will increase spread. If price is moving fast and hits ur tp/sl, it will continue for another 5-20 pips before the trade closes. Most times it doesnt even close if it goes 3-5 pips past your TP. If you close your trade at any given price manually during stronger moves (not news) you will get robbed pips. It shows you closed it earlier. The stop hunting is also real. I've never seen spikes like fxcm on other brokers. Many times your SL gets hit when price is 5-10 pips away from it. And yes, this is all on demo, blows my mind!!!

Anyone know why I can't trade GBP/CAD with FXCM at the minute? Trying to place an entry order but can't. If I try to place a market order I'm getting a message saying trading is closed? All other pairs seem to be ok. ???

Hi Jason!

I am in Pakistan and want to open FXCM mini account of 500 USD.

I went to Standard Chartered Bank to open USD account to transfer/deposit funds to my fxcm account but they (the bank) say that funds cannot be transferred to international account from an individual bank account in Pakistan.

Last year I made an fxcm account and tried depositing funds from my PKR account from the same bank using my Debit Card but it wasn't successful.

Please help as to what should I do.

"But things are more complicated than that, beyond the fact that an event of default of the Convertible Notes at GLBR could trigger a similar event of default for the Leucadia loan at FXCM."

"If that doesnt happen by October 30 (still two and a half months away), and GLBR gets delisted as expected, then that triggers a Fundamental Change as defined by the indenture governing GLBRs Convertible Notes, which could require the company to repurchase all its outstanding $172 million of Convertible Notes for cash. Cash, which it doesnt have. Wed also note that a default on the Convertible Notes (at the GLBR Company) could also lead to an event of default under the Leucadia loan (which is at the operating company level, with FXCM)."

Yikes! Even after the sale of FastMatch FXCM will probably be around $77-87 million short of repaying their loan to Leucadia that must be paid in full this coming January 2018. That debt currently stands at about $122 million. I don't know if FXCM has anything else to sell to fully repay the Leucadia debt. That's not even counting this new outstanding $172 million of Convertible Notes problem that FXCM is facing if it can't get its stock up to at least around $2.45 per share for ten consecutive days. So no matter how FXCM tries to sugar coated it's looking very bad. I wonder if Leucadia will completely gut FXCM next year in some type of fire sale, it will be up to them to do whatever they want. If you still have substantial funds with FXCM I hope you enjoy hazardous rollercoasters...
