I think they have rectified the issue. I would have found another broker. I think the issue came about when they converted me to micro account.
Thanks for the update Sarama. I was very curious as to what was going on. Never had the problem myself, but I'm always curious to hear first hand what's going on with others who also have fxcm

I also had a problem with their micro account when they first opened them. My roll payments were off on a division by 10 error. But thats been fixed for a few weeks now. So far all's well.

Its amazing that you guys deal with these problems and then continue to stay with your brokers. Its just insane.

So far out of the three brokers I've been with their micro account has actually been the best for me. Their spreads actually go into the negative, as much as -1.5pips for the EUR/JPY. So that's what I get paid when I get into the position. Very easy to scalp that way. As for the roll problem they were very good about taking care of it. It was a problem when they were first rolling out the new accounts. They had it fixed that week and they reimbursed me the full amount + extra for the inconveniance. So no, I am very very happy with them so far. If I do ever have a problem I'll make sure to post it, so others know.

negative spread lol. i don't think so, is this guy for real? i have been with them for some time and i have never seen negative spread on eur/jpy lol.

But this thread is about execution of trades on the fxcm platform.
So lets keep it on topic.

Mmm... take a look at this thread, just because your not familiar with it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Last thursday I was able to get in and out about 6 times just to make 10 pips or so on the spread. Usually happens in the session off hours after roll payments.

exactly...it is like taking a shot at a bookie when they post the wrong lines. if you see pats +10.5 vs giants duing the superbowl, would you take a shot at the bad line? you might get away with it, but the bookie/dealer will not be happy. you might get your wager cancelled.
