Broker Stops... quick question

Hi, I think the answer must be somewhere in the forums but it is a lot of work to wade through all those posts a simple question... so hopefully someone can help.

I remember reading that FXCM is pretty good about executing the stops during news. I realize people are saying don't trade with FXCM but I would like to know the answer to this question.

So if the price is 1.900 on GBP and I have a trade set prior to NFP with a stop at 1.8990 and the news goes pro USD then will it get executed at 1.8990 or somewhat close to that? or will it be way off at 1.8950 or something like that?

I cant say for certainty. BUT when I tried closing a position manually during volative market (FOMC), I was prompted to wait for the Dealer.

When I set the stops to my desired number, I was immediately booted out of the trade - ie position closed in an instant.

Howevr, there are cases when it did not happen that way. Many times the price went below the stops; but after some time, my position is closed and closed at my stop number.

So I guess in a way, FXCM is good fulfilling your stops.
