The British Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a warning about a clone masquerading as the actual FXCM company. According to the FCA, the FXCM International Finance Group has an address in China but it is targeting people in the UK by cold-calling them and claiming to be authorized.
Always double check the information you are given, don’t trust blindly that the person calling you is truly who they say they are.

Had a small account I was using to follow my own signals on, had constant problems getting margin trades shut out - even when I had a profit in the account. Then they call me up (at least they did that) and tell me my margin is going to double on my account and my current positions would cause a margin call this weekend.

I know from people who work there, like any Forex company they don't want you to win because they want bigger deposits. I never cared, my attitude was always: as long as they don't DO anything I don't care. All these issues have cost me all my profit and more, it's not worth fighting this type of crap with your broker, I'm changing brokers - I'd recommend if you have similar issues, that you do the same.

Hello BT,

My colleague Liza responded to your email on the 30th and I on the 5th. If you haven’t received it please go through your Spam folders to see if it was routed there. Also, she will send the email to you again now. If you don’t receive it please PM me again.

Hi Jason,
Could you please explain to me why your pivot point indicator is different to all standard ways of calculating. I am talking about the classical method here. The Pivot Point and S1/R1 and S2/R2 correspond to a normal pivot calculator. However S3/R3 and S4/R4 are way off. I would really appreciate an explanation for this as I use pivots a lot and I find your levels even though they are different seem to be effective.
Thanks

Hello PharLap,

Glad you are enjoying using our Pivot Indicator. One thing to check is the time frame being used for the pivot and the data source. I haven’t heard of any issues occurring with our pivot point indicator that would cause it to differ from the classic formula, but I would like to check.
I will send you a PM for more details.

Hello Nicole,

Welcome to the forum! We are happy to have you. You can submit a withdrawal request via MyFXCM.com, the account management portal. In general most withdrawals take 3-5 business days.

I have made several withdrawals from FXCM (UK) using the online portal and never encountered a problem yet.

Hi Everyone,

An update to Trading Station Desktop was released last weekend adding some very useful functions that we hope will improve your trading experience. Here’s a highlight of a few of the new features:

New Contingent Orders

A Contingent order is an order that contains two (or more) entry orders linked together by a certain condition of their execution. Previously, we only had OCO orders available in Trading Station Desktop. The recent update makes available the following additional contingent orders:

- OTO (One-Triggers-the-Other)

- OTOCO (One-Triggers-One-Cancels-the-Other)

- If-Then

- If-Then OCO


You can create contingent orders by right clicking on a symbol and selecting “Create Contingent Order” from the menu. You can also press Alt+E on your keyboard. The online user guide has more information on how each order type works.


Improved Reports

A new Statement Summary Report is now available. This new report is designed to give you a summary of all products traded over a specified period along with volume, gross P/L, commission, rollover, net P/L, and open/close date.

The previous Combined Account Statement Report is still available which will give details on every trade for the specified period of time.

You will also notice when selecting the report type you also have the option for ‘Account Analytics’. This option will take you to the Trading Analytics app where you can run detailed analysis of your trading history such as profitability by symbol, profitability by time of day, average gain per trade, average loss per trade, and much more.


Marketscope Price Panels

The Bid/Ask price panel is now available directly on the chart for trading. Previously, you could trade from the chart by clicking on the price on the right hand axis. The price panel now gives you an additional method to place trades, plus a drop down menu for you to select the amount to trade if you have the platform set to one-click trading as I have done in the screenshot.

The world is full of idiots and trading with FXCM is a great example! These idiots know FXCM have been found guilty of various crimes but they still willingly give fxcm money! Its like they want to get ripped off!

If i was the owner of forexfactory.com i would not allow companys like fxcm on the forums to deceive people. While these idiots spend more time picking hotel rooms for there holiday than picking a broker, i feel FXCM's bad behaviour should not be rewarded.

Hi Jason, just to let you know I just received the funds transfer last week. It's hard to believe it took all those efforts just to withdraw from a US account into an EU account but there you go. I want to sincerely thank you and Liza for your great assistance. That in itself was pretty good. I wish you the best.

Hello Burfi,

If you need to withdraw funds, please go to MyFXCM.com, your account management portal. Once you login with your live account details, hover your cursor over “Funds”, select “Withdraw Funds” then select Credit & Debit.

Keep in mind that you need to withdraw the same way you funded the account, eg. If you did not deposit via card, the withdrawal cannot be done by card. Funds must go back to the same bank account that was used to deposit.

While we do not offer rebates, it may be possible to earn 5% APR on unused funds.

Hi Socramalb,

The data found in the Basic Historical Data Downloader comes prepackaged on Marketscope, there is no need to re-import it.
