hi justht,
with forexct, GJ 3, EJ 2, EU 1,GU 2,AU 2....

I'm pondering about FXCM at the moment.
They are offering very good "Daytrading" conditions. EU ~ 0.6 pips most majors <= 1 pip. Have an appointment with these guys this morning to see what they have to offer ...

Any experiences with them?

hi niels,
it is indeed a disaster
i'm using fxcm with a mini acct, so the spread they gave me is normal pips... EU 2, GU 3 sometimes go up to 5 pips... AU 5... but i cannot complain... just playing 0.1 or 0.5 per lot, just for my experiment moves so to speak...

but i have heard from a friend that they do give a good deal whe you open a regular acct... that is, 10k up... the higher the better spread... and a better platform too... i think my friend is using different platform from what i have but he opened 50k acct... so they treat him like a king...
plus free news feeds..

anywayz i'm happy of what i have at the moment... cannot ask for more...

for me, they're all but just the same...

what matters most for me is there prompt service...
i never had slippage... when entry or even closing...
and mostly, when i widthraw even more than 10k... there was no problem at all...
and they sometimes call me for a quick coffee and chat...
... if you're happy with what you have, then just stick to them....

bottom line is service...

Yeah - have heard similiar things.
There are two ways to become their "King":
1: Account Equity
2: Roundturn volume per month.

Would give them a try with 5 to 10K only.
But I have a monthly trading volume of ~ 70 to 120 trades per full trading day. Resulting in ~ 60 million per day. = 1.2 bln per month ....

Phew, have never done this calculation before.
If you would have asked me, I would have answered monthly trading volume around 100 mio only ...
I'm a little bit shocked by my self ...

Hey Niels

I'm demo-ing with FXCM currently... Like the platform thus far

As Eddy mentioned they have a referral special promotion for standard account... Think it's about $2k... Maybe you can check with them later...

Eddy noticed that your dancing is becoming more up tempo... Fast & agressive... 1-2 and maybe 3 steps then out... Awesome

Guess u have slowly begin to excel in your "x 1 thing" as u have mentioned in the beginning of your thread that u r more suited to attack-style dancing.

Don't dance too fast as we have a hard time to play up

Hi Philip,

yeah - platform is ok, but is a problem for me too, cause I would have to rewrite all my tools. Sveral thousand lines of code, that are based on MT4 platform yet.
Will have to ask, if they offer a service to do that for me ....

Aaah - FXCM representative is calling ...

Back again.
Very interesting conditions - indeed!

spread for $40.000 account size or
< $40.000 but with 20 or 30 trades a day
= 0.5 pip + $5 (or $2.5) depending on volume per statdard Lot ....

Thats really cheap against all/most other broker I have checked yet ....

Liquity provider: Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, ....
