I am wondering what happened to the negative balance forgiveness statement made by an official FXCM representative some years back. While that may not be a contract, it does put into question whether or not what FXCM states can be totally trusted. I ...

Like the guy above said you shouldn't be getting long after a move up already. Waiting for an opportunity to short is better after an uptrend. Or are you one of those "trend is your friend" kind of guys who gets mad after you buy at the top of the ...

USD/CAD

Sounds logical, buying at the top while early longs are already selling their positions to you. Novice mistake.

USD/CAD

On a New Zealand pair you're lucky it's as low as 87 pips around close and open. I don't remember which one it was exactly but I think they jacked one over a hundred when I was with them. Stopped my well in profit (low leverage) position out when ...

There was a thread some time ago that brought up personality types. For as rare as it is, INTJ pops up quite a bit on this site. I'm one myself, always score the same thing no matter which test I take.

Weird. I noticed on the Swiss pairs after the meltdown that they raised it five fold on my account but the other ones were raised only after that regulatory ruling, and by about 50%.

If I had stopped reading and digging when something didn't make sense to me (like why any moving average system should ever work, for example), I'd still be stuck where I was 4 years ago. It takes time and a lot of headaches trying to separate the ...

​ Improve Your Trading by not Reading this

You only win "every time" because your sample size is so low. Just wait until it pulls back on you and your account is as good as ordering a $900 bottle of wine for the banker who ripped you off.

I was going to write some long reply to this but I'm just going to condense it to this: The market isn't this simple. It'd be nice if it were, but it's not.

Trading consistently for profits

Nevermind, missed the press release from FXCM themselves. What exactly does FXCM have to stand on legally when their own terms stipulate negative balance protection? I don't understand why they would even try going after the top 10%.

Jason, is this email valid? If so I'm more than a little disappointed.

FXCM Discussion

Alright.

Got any evidence or just hearsay from your "friend"? I hope you're not lying because if you are you're committing a crime.

FXCM Discussion

They send lients an email forgiving balances and you still have a bunch of paranoia and panic. Nothing will make some people happy.

It isn't a good development that an insider liquidated all of his shares, but not sure what the revised loan terms mean for their plans. Haven't bought yet if I do I want it to be less than it is at the moment.

And during rollover. The spread widening is why I left it was infuriating. Otherwise I agree they're a decent broker for the most part.

Alright man. Still contesting the claim that they're reneging on any contractual obligations but I'll leave it at that for the night.

Still holding long at +67, seeing further upside possible on the M1/M5 frames. Edit: Out for 57.

Despite your personal attacks, I'm only interested in the facts Magix. What I see is misinformation and speculative rumor. I don't like misinformation. They were insolvent. They aren't now. They can and are giving traders back their money if they ...
