Excuse me !

I am a Chinese. English is not my mother tongue.

why do u use the word "squeeze" ?

Do u mean that FXCM wanna get more from the traders ?

or do u mean that FXCM wanna get some traders away ?

I don't know you, but in my account the leverage right now is 100:1, for me it is acceptable.

Soon after the snb tzunami it has been lowered to 50:1 (from the original 200:1), that was painful, even if still not a real problem (50:1 is more than enough for trading).

I was however thinking about change broker, but now with 100:1 i'm staying for sure.

their is a song its called " time to say goodbye " when company's use these tactics to clear accounts with out giving people time to get out of trades , its a grab for our money to make a margin call because some clever dick at fxcm clawing to make there losses smaller
