I;m looking at FXCM uk. that's the Boston technologies bridge which is way different than the US version of FXCM. probably the best mt4 ECN connected broker right now. if MBT were live, it would be them. but, if you want to hedge like i do, you will have to go with FXCM UK anyways.

The previous mt4 version FXCM and the current absolutely same and designed by Boston technologies. Now Boston technologies just became a full white labeled IB of FXCM which is means the feed on previous fxcm mt4 better a little bit then on current one(Boston added few pips to spread which is their IB payment from fxcm).
Well, I already opened an account with FXCM using their MT4 platform through Boston Technologies.
The hard fact is that I would consider it the worst of the worst I ve ever tested & tried in my forex trading experience. The problems started just a week after fine & smooth trading with them. Problems I encountered were from system freezing while trading and when I am in a trade, deleting stop loses, and deleting pending orders.
I will start another thread explaining all problems in full details.
I have been using the Boston bridge to FXCM for scalping for months and I would say its the best solution I have found!! I have been trading Forex for over 4 years have tried MM brokers,ECN etc.. by far Boston Bridge gives me the best solution to trade the market. Execution is excellent within split second and fills are great!! I would say try it you will love it!! The post above is completely inaccurate!! He should try it longer and see what I am saying. Months of testing for me is all the proof I need to tell you all!! IT'S GREAT!!!
My name is George Popescu and I am the CEO of Boston Technologies.
I can clarify a few things and explain other ones.
We are indeed providing Mt4 technology to FXCM and being paid to do so.
We presently do so with more then 40 firms and tens of thousand of traders.
As you can probably guess not all customers are happy and I am sure that some customers can have experienced problems at some point. Therefore they are right to be angry. As any software ours also has problems sooner or later and when you service so many customers this is ought to happen.
It took about 1.5 years to get a stable Mt4 ECN integration and more then 1 million USD. We are now very happy with out integration and we are actively working with other banks and large brokerages to offer this same service.
As mentioned by jshear in the previous posting I consider our integration with FXCM as one of our best integrations in versatility, execution quality and pricing. I can also honestly say that FXCM is one of the best partners I ever worked with.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me throught this form :

There is no need to stay with them for more time to discover what they hide for traders. I am a professional trader, I lost money with this FXCM-Boston Technologies not because I don’t know how to trade, and they just offer no fair game to trade. Dealing Desk Brokers don’t even do things they are doing. And about the fills, don’t even mention that, THEY ARE THE WORST EVER SEEN, the worst dealing desk broker would offer much better fills than them. I have the proof by the way.
Hi guys,
I had a bad experience with fxcm today.
I am a HK resident, in HK, we have an firm called SFC to regulate the financial market. SFC in HK is quite strict such as it does not permit leverage over 25:1.
I did a bit of market reasearch and found a referral firm for fxcm.co.uk (it gives rebates for every trade you make).
So I signed up with fxcm.co.uk from fxcm.co.uk website using that referral company.
Couple of days later, I got a message from fxcmasia.com (HK office) telling me that my application is completed however because I am a HK resident I can't have rebates from referral (as SFC HK regulation) but I can still have 200:1 leverage because I signed up from fxcm.co.uk.
Is there anyone having the same issue?
How can a person being half regulated by one body in Hk and another body in UK?
Just let's your guys know my case and be aware of their tricks
Thanks
Sheesh!! Is retail Forex only ran by CROOKS!! (MBTrading and Broco excluded) - Of course you know that Boston makes the infamous Dealer Plug-In that steals from us 100% Automatically. I actually would be scared of any platform they directly support (where do you think they're LIVE testing the DIRTY TRICKS software!?) - Put me on the list for a PM of the thread if you detail the experience. I keep my eyes on them.

I have been testing FXCM Mt4 demo for almost a month and i cannot complain. It seems as if broker bitching will never die. When you lose money the broker gets flamed and all sorts of excuses and broker mishaps are thrown at the broker. But when you win some trades you seem to be happy.
My opinion: If you do not know the market and you do not know how brokers operate, then stop complaining and start learning about these things. If you want to be a trader except the things that counts against you and work around them. There are ways and means to deal with it other than complaining. Brokers are here to make money. If you want to make money trading with a broker then find ways to do so. Only loser traders bitch about brokers all day long.
Winners speak positively and become succesful. Losers are negative and dissapear along the way. ( I do not work for a broker nor am i a broker) I am a trader understanding what i am up against!

Sure pal-all brokers are good and never do anything "Human"? And FXCM? LOL! Testing for more than a month?-Fxcm's Demo is in no way related to their live feed(as u will discover). And I have nothing bad to say about my 2 current Brokers who dont cheat their clients. Good luck!

I never said brokers are good. Read my post again. The difference between you and me is that i know how brokers opperate and i have adapt my trading style accordingly. You on the other hand get caught up in all their (brokers) tricks and are still not able to profit. As long as you see the brokers as people who steel from you ,your attitude will remain the same and your FX account will decrease in size.
The rewards are far more beneficial than the black horse on which you are riding here. Anyway....... good luck to you.
