FXDD appears to be backup at least with the platform. The fact is that I could not reach anyone at FXDD for this extended outage. That is simply unacceptable!

FXDD, technical problems are one thing and happen from time to time. The inability to reach the trading desk or support during technical problems to manage one's trades is simply outrageous and unacceptable!

i deposited funds via a cc with fxdd on sunday after trading started. normally, when you dep with a cc, it normally takes like 30 mins to post. ive been contacting them since sunday night, every day, looking for my deposit because its not showing. i was told today , it will be reflected late next week because of the hurricane. they said" we dont have an accounting dep to post your deposit". i asked, how do you not have a contigency plan or remote office in times of peril or disaster like this, considering there holding billions of dollars, and there response was, " can we help you with anything else?" unreal.. they are the only broker that is affected to this degree and i see that this may topple them because so many people were stuck in trades while the platform went out that no one is going to take that lying down. this can only get worse from here considering the fact that they are no closer to a resolution today than they were sunday. scary.

Just a heads up to FXDD traders in the US... and I'm one of them, not sure what to make of this: http://www.forexindustryinsider.com/...s-us-business/

I knew they were going to be hit with a fine, didn't know they were looking to get out of the US if it was a substantial fine. RJO is a big name, so might not be a bad thing if it happens anyways.

Guys, if all this noise here and there about FXDD is not warning enough, well you probably deserve what is coming. Sorry for being so blunt, just giving a heads up. Please take steps needed. Would really hate to see anyone getting hurt here.

Better safe than sorry...

Complain to the NFA. FXDD were recently charged for by them over AML complains. File a complaint against them to the NFA and they will take care of it for you. You might be compensated as well, worth a shot.

We apologize for any problems or trading disruptions you may have experienced this past week as a result of the disastrous weather conditions of Hurricane Sandy. From around 6:00am-7:00am (EST) on October 31st, we did experience a network disconnection as a result of our ISP losing a backup generator. In addition, we were sporadically without phone support in our office throughout the week. While we understand your frustration, we are willing to resolve any issues you may have experienced as a result.

Hurricane Sandy was one of the most devastating natural disasters in US history and resulted in the loss of power for millions of people for close to a week. This event serves as a reminder of the powerful forces that exist in nature and the impact they can have. We are constantly working to improve and create the best trading experience for our customers and hope that you will understand the extreme circumstances that led to these issues.

Yep....same here....however, I thought they were based out of Dallas, Tx...no hurricane there! But I have open trades also, so I am getting out if I survive this.....I have all my trades with tp and sl......let's see if they honor that
All of your open trades with stop losses or take profits should have been honored. If you experienced any problems regarding your already open positions, please email [email protected] or contact our office at 212 791 3933 and we will investigate that issue.

Has this deposit reached your account yet? If you provide me with your account number I can investigate this issue for you and investigate this deposit.

...Our goal is to create a communal, honest environment where we can help traders and also let traders discuss their experiences, positive or negative.
Is there any truth to the rumor that FXDD is looking to transition away from the US market? If so, what happens to live accounts during and after this transition? I learned of this situation here at this site: http://www.forexindustryinsider.com/...s-us-business/ and would like some "honest" answers if that is possible.

GSPajon, thanks for bringing this rumor to light. As a broker that has been operating in the US for 10 years now, we have grown quite comfortable in our 7 World Trade Center headquarters and don’t plan on transitioning out of the market that got us where we are today.

The internet is an excellent source of information; however, sometimes it’s hard to validate all of it.
