they are not sending 1000 orders to any real liquidity provider...and now it makes sense why they refuse to say who the liquidity providers are...they could just incorporate a separate firm also owned by them to be the market maker...but is not real ...

So if a newbie with a $25 micro sends an order for 1,000 euros after March 21 that goes straight thru to the liquidity provider? And why are they dealing in microlots when the minimum is 1OK in all currenex platforms that I have seen. Oh is the FXCM ...

That's right, if they were doing what they say they do and only that, they would not fall under the jurisdiction of the CFTC...they would not be the counterparty....they would just have the credit line guarantee to the bank to guarantee settlement, ...

exactly, this STP means nothing...you want good execution and good spreads...FXDD TraderPro spread on EU usual .08 as low as 0...FXCM 2.3 typical....they are already trading against you the moment you place the trade, u r down 2.3.

naaa...the big liquidity providers will gladly lose money to scalpers as long as it is FXCM providing the order flow...LOL...they would not turn on their flash trading algos would they? why is FXCM hiding who the liquidity providers are? it's a ...

They are still a discount brokerage, only now they discount your profits...and support...why do you need support...."We are STP/NDD, we do not manipulate price...what you see is what the banks send...the spike to take you out came directly from the ...

Sure they want profitable traders, that's is why the raised the spread 76%. image image image Hmm I wonder what they would do if they didn't care whether a trader was profitable or not. Even the E-Trader commercial toddler knows that the STP/NDD ...

On IE7 it asks should I also show unsecured pages the answer is Yes, on IE8 the question is the opposite, should I block unsecured pages, the answer is NO. This has nothing to do with Java, it has to do that you are in secured site, and the charts ...

Well that might be right. If you think you are better off with STP/NDD because your broker is not the market maker but the liquidity provider bank is, think again...look how manipulative banks are...They have their own specialized flash trading ...

FXCM Discussion

Fine, even if both are the same cost, which they are not as nearly automated is not the same as completely automated, the reason for the increase in spread is not moving to STP/NDD as it is being marketed. That is my whole point. The marketing dept. ...

FXCM Discussion

The point that you purposely avoid is that STP/NDD is cheaper to run b/c there is no human intervention. As far as Activer Trader program, the commission of $5 per ticket is not inline with similar services offered by other brokers and is highly ...

FXCM Discussion

More of the same, it really did not answer the first quetion, which was about STP/NDD being cheaper to run than market maker set up that is currently the micro set up. But I get the drift, it is impossible to get a straight answer from FXCM and it ...

FXCM Discussion

OK Jason, I am going to take your word at face value...now answer this question. Is it not more expensive for FXCM to continue with the current micro dealing desk set up than to change to STP/NDD, and if STP/NDD is cheaper why is this an excuse to ...

FXCM Discussion

A sale speech, although I like you personally from other threads, I am beginning to side with the other poster that says you should not be posting here. You are biased and restricted by your employer to post what they tell you to post. This makes ...

Jason, are you losing your mind? FXCM does allow the distinction, go to the software, click on Trading Mode, and see the choices on parameters, they are AT BEST and MARKET RANGE, and FXCM Micro is dealing desk. This is what I use all the time on ...

Hey Jason, I have been using at BEST for 2 years, and never had a problem, not even once, maybe I am the luckiest trader that ever lived? LOL. An is it not at BEST that you still get competion in price, but that it is executed at the best price at ...

Most of your post is incomprehensible, but I understand one part, but what are you a psychic to know the reasons one is upset? The reason I am upset, and the only reason, is b/c they are raising the spreads I was paying by 76%. If you own a business ...

FXCM Discussion

Hey Jason, posting inaccuracies works both ways...so don't post inaccuracies yourself please. I will say it again, your statement on re-quotes is NOT true, if you set the trading mode to at BEST you do not get re-quotes. You only get re-quotes if ...

FXCM Discussion

The above statement is NOT true, if you set the trading mode to at BEST you do not get re-quotes. You only get re-quotes if you set it at MARKET RANGE. This is why I am so upset at FXCM, they think all the traders are stupid. I feel for you Jason, ...
