Very well, 100x leverage back, negative balances issues fixed (i hadn't any negative balance though), looks like fxcm is again in the business stronger than before. I had also a withdraw this week, hit my bank in less than 12 hours (SEPA transfer), ...

There is one simple and effective way to avoid being wiped out in events such as the snb of few weeks ago. The way is: Do not trade capped currencies! If everyday you play with fire, you are eventually going to get burn. Trade only "free-floating" ...

Is it possible to avoid getting wiped out by a move like SNB?

You may have a look also on xtb uk (good leverage good spread, ecn/stp) and activtrades uk (not sure if they are really stp but good spread good leverage, however unconfirmed rumors that they may as well switch to 50:1 soon)

Don't worry, fxcm is still one of the safest brokers out there, in my opinion. They had a big shock but they are big enough to survive it (and perhaps become even bigger). The only sad thing from my point of view is the new margin requirements, but ...

Mmm, Oanda really doesn't make sense, first of all is an MM, so you cannot make profits on the longterm (as your profits are their losses, the relationship would become a little bit weird after a while). Secondly, have 50x leverage, that is what i'm ...

Others are already asking the clients to cover the negative balances, and the law is on their side, so most of these debts are going to be paid back friendly or unfriendly. This Snb stuff that sent balances to negative is nothing new in the ...

Forexia, because the big boys cannot be regulated, they are the bosses of the regulators. So, if people call for regulation, all they can regulate are the little fish (and my new 50:1 max leverage confirm this ). You cannot regulate the big ...

it happened on me once on gbpaud (a 100pip spike out of nowhere, stops filled with a slippage of -80pips). Nothing new, you better stick to the majors

Ok, from this chart we can see what is happening to the eur

EURUSD

It really looks good, great spreads, negative balance protection, high leverage. Of course nothing always is 100% cool, so the negative side on this broker is that it is not ECN/STP, basically when you make money they loose money. Now, if you trade ...

I'm in your same situation, if can be of help, what i've come across for now are the following: Activtrades UK (way best spread i've ever seen so far, and 400x leverage on every instrument) XTB uk (better spreads than fxcm, 200x leverage) FXpro uk ...

Hilarious Video of 2 traders being interviewed about CHF

Ok so i played a little with both FXPRO and XTBUK, here my view: Both are based on UK, a stable country, and both are regulated. XTB UK: Pro: Absolutely the best spreads, for example as i'm writing this, eurusd got 1.1 pips (no commissions), and ...
