invalid account? the terminal could not login for some reason. I manually logged in and the connection continued as normal. But what caused the initial "invalid account" issue?
Hi Ybfjax,

Without knowing more details, it would be hard for me to know exactly why you got that error message. For the fastest help when you face a tech issue, you can contact FXCM by phone or live chat. One of our tech specialists will troubleshoot the problem for you.

Our MT4 platform is now in-house. That means no 3rd party bridges and no auto account syncs like there were with BT. You can trade 0.01 (Micro) Lots on our MT4, and it is now possible to partially close positions on the platform. This page has more information.

Since, you are interested in our MT4 platform, you might was to visit our new MT4 app store: FXCMapps.com. There you will find free and paid Expert Advisors, Indicators and Scripts for...
Thanks Jason.

Dear Jason,

If not private and confidential, could you list down all the brokers that white label their platform and execution with / through FXCM?

From my knowledge, etrade, dif fx and atc brokers.

cheers

Hi Zam,

As you guessed, I would not be able to provide such a list anymore than I would be able to provide a list of the clients who trade with FXCM.

Hi PoundTrader,

I wouldn't be able to comment on ATC's pricing, but FXCM's Active Trader program has both raw spread and reduced spread pricing options. If you had questions about these pricing options, it would be best to speak with your Active Trader account rep. If you don't have an Active Trader account, you can email [email protected] and one of our specialists in the Active Trader department will follow up with you.

I assume you are allowing for ATC's commission in your comparison?
Good Trading

Hi Everyone,

This weekend margin requirements on several currency pairs will be reduced. This is to account for the weakening of the Euro and other currencies relative to the US dollar. Basically, if you have a US-dollar denominated account, you will now have to put less money in dollars as margin for your open trades.

Below are updated minimum margin requirements for FXCM LLC (US) accounts and FXCM LTD (UK).

Note that the margin requirements for FXCM Australia and FXCM Canada are unchanged.

I just opened a trade 15 minutes ago for long on EUR/USD when the price was at 1.2646. But the trade was put as pending, with no possibility for cancellation, until just now when the shitty broker opened the trade for me at 1.2664 instead. What a superb broker FXCM is, a flippin joke!!

Hi Espen,

I'm sorry to hear you had problems yesterday. If you email me the details of your account and trade at [email protected] I will have this investigated for you. In the future, if you have any difficulties, it's best to contact the FXCM support team immediately. They are available on phone and live chat 24 hours a day.

Jason, dunno if you can help....

Currently have a FXCM UK Micro account, I'm transfering it back to a Standard account for use with TradeInterceptor ( Riflexo JSC ) they'll let me use Micro Lot sizes still, bla bla bla.

Question is, I can't trade as if you try to process it with open trades it will reject, is this right ?? will you just wait 30mins and try again or have I got to start from scratch.

Don't want to waste a rare free week of trading, but being able to trade from the Ipad where ever I am would also be very useful.

Don't suppose you could speed it up for me could you ??

Thanks

TD


p.s. will e-mail me account code to you just incase!!
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

They sorted it over night, said 2 - 5 days so all is fine, thanks.

Trading with an Ipad via TradeInterceptor works great, shame the charting via the FXCM app isn't as good!! * HINT *

Hi Everyone,

As a reminder, the Greek elections are being held Sunday, and there's a possibility it could cause immense volatility. Please factor this possibility into your trading going into the weekend with any positions you have open.

For more info about the elections, you can read this DailyFX article: http://www.dailyfx.com/forex/fundame...k_Unclear.html

Have a great weekend!

I imagine that was easy to do since FXCM wasn't allowing trading over the weekend in the first place, right ?

As long as no change of leverage, that's okay. Example from 1:200 to 1:1 .....

Have a nice weekend to all traders / speculators around the world!

Jason,

Any plan or road map to introduce XAU and XAG trading against other currencies than USD? Example, (XAU, XAG) / EUR, CHF, GBP, JPY? It will give great benefit for those account nomination currencies are not USD.
