I have been testing FXDD PowerTrader since Monday, and so far it has been outstanding, the pic above is from the Powertrader currenex platform. To be fair to FXCM, I have no info on what they do or don't do to traders' account, I was generally happy ...

FX Capital Marketing a/k/a FXCM is getting better or at least these spreads...so they are adding at least 1.5 pip to arrive at their standard account rates of 2.3 pips for EU. No commission my arse...you are paying $230 per 1 million notional ...

If you only did 30 round trades a month of 1 standard contract it would cost you an extra $600 a month...not acceptable, especially since there is no benefit to this so called STP/NDD crap.

Because they are manipulators...now they have this mobile trader which is free for standard accounts and you pay a per trade fee for micro...it is clear they want to stamp out the micros....they are like credit card companies...either always rasing ...

All this marketing hype looks very pretty, but in reality there is no benefit. Because it is either FXCM trading against me or the banks traders are trading against me. This is a zero sum game and for me to win somebody is got to lose. Let's take ...

Concur 100% on that thought...and they want to ram an additional 1 pip to the spread b/c of the benefits of STP....This is a marketing firm, not a real broker. BS at it's grandest.

thanks...I am currently testing FXDD Malta PowerTrader...it appears to be an excellent platform...great spread, less than 1 pip on EU and commission only 2/10 of a PIP ($20 per million notional volume). It also shows market depth. Looks like a ...

Could 10:1 be the new leverage in US Forex?

It seems that FXDD is trying to move all non-US accounts to Malta url url

Could 10:1 be the new leverage in US Forex?

Yes, you might be right, I have seen letters from Gensler to Congress stating that the OTC bill must require foreign trade boards to register with the CFTC if they allow US residents to open accounts.....the only safe option might be to open a ...

Don't know why, but there was no such slippage in the US account when all US that transferred were here. Coupled with the sudden increase in spread for micros, a 76% increase on EU spread all of a sudden, just b/c they feel like it, I suspect ...

France says that will help Greece if needed...There is talk about the European Union forming something similar to the IMF, borrowing at lower rates and lending to Greece, or who ever needs to, at same rate they borrow, and this is the best that EU ...

The say standard rates are: E/U 2.3 G/U 3 but I am sure it will be more than that b/c they are saying raising 1 pip across the board, they claim typical micro now is 1.3 on EU, but that is not true as typical now is usually 1.4 or 1.5 in E/U so we ...

That's right....refine what? LOL...those are the things that make you profit, for you to win somebody got to lose...I would sure like to see this refined trader's account..why is there a need for change if successful now?

Could 10:1 be the new leverage in US Forex?

e-micros have already been trading in EU and some others for some time, so I don't see where you are getting your info about starting on 3/22/10. url url On your previous post you stated "For those who think moving their business overseas, good ...

Could 10:1 be the new leverage in US Forex?

Thanks Scarlet, I am researching to move it out FXCM too, any recommendations? I am seriously looking at MBTrading, about 1.2 pip on EU after adding the commission costs...but I am not sure if they are planning to have an offshore office to get away ...

Could 10:1 be the new leverage in US Forex?

Don't get too excited if it goes up a little today or tomorrow....it has nothing to do with volume or the COT reports...it has to do with Zarkozy talking crap saying that France will help Greece if needed and that he will help curb speculators....I ...

Why would you even consider fXcm mt4 and the outrageous spreads when mbtrading has no such mt4 disconnection issues at what amounts to about 1.2 spread on the eu after adding the commission costs? It's an argument you cannot win...move on to a ...

FXCM Discussion

I am a firm believer in that if other variables are equal, the least expensive broker is the better broker as trading costs can really add up overtime. I have been trading up to know with FXCM Micro as the spreads were reasonable. Because of the ...

Whoever has more political guns wins, and it looks that banks will benefit from this, so leverage will be cut, I have little doubt, to what extent is the question, maybe 50 to 1 or 30 to 1. I had hopes early on that it would not be cut, but after ...

Strikes are not going to help the Greek economy...raising VAT slows the economy....they raise VAT 2% and how much does the GDP suffer from less spending? How are retired people going to survive with their pension frozen? This is a mess that is far ...
