I have been trading with a FXCM broker for about 3 years. I haven't seen any problems with this broker all the time, but I trade in the medium term from a week to a month and hold a position. Then either I withdraw the profit or again I open new orders. I use the services of this broker, because of high-quality execution of orders and a good story for analytics.
Predicting the market price movement is less difficult. Thanks to their staff, I can consider better when it comes to enter a trade. Even those are their prediction, but it is much helpful than just to trade by ourselves.
Have been trading with FXCM for several months by now. All in all I'm quite satisfied. I don't get huge profits so far, but I'm still learning the industry.
It's definitely that broker I want to stay with in a long run. Company survived after swiss franc super extreme volatility last year caused by unexpected policy of Swiss National Bank. The number of FX brokers reported huge losses and bankruptcies but not this one. FXCM survived and keep on working till now. So it is a very good sign of stable company. In case when you have profitable strategy and generate positive returns, this broker is number one I would recommend.
I am trading in forex with FXCM. It offers the particular conditions for active trader. I enjoy this special account! Here I get help from a manager trained in a special way, who provides an individual support presenting the products and tools of the broker, recommending techniques. Moreover he promises to promote my withdrawals and all processing connected with it. Real-time feedback from experts is available here. I can count on privileges as to commissions, which make almost 55 % less compared to the standard amount. Satisfied!
The FXCM demo account is one of the best things about this broker. I've had lots of fun using it. I didn't make any money of course but it's been a blast.
It's well known company and has a huge amount of credibility. Don't read this bullshit about frauds and money withdrawal delays. Never ever within my experience I had problems with delays, off quotes or transferring money to my paypal or bank account. Just think how many people complain on bad service but lost money only because of their greed and fear? Broker works perfectly, trading platform is one of the best you can find among others and it is regulated
Do your research! FXCM US and UK divisions have a long history of fines by multiple financial authorities and actions for fraud. They only survived the Swiss Franc margin call due to a massive hand out. Don't say you havn't been warned.
FXCM has good trading conditions and always was a reliable broker. But now their reputation is more and more crushing down. A lot of problems with a platform and SL hunting made me change this broker to another one. Fortunately, I found really good ECN broker and now my trading are on the next level. If you are looking for a broker that you can trust with your money, I am ready to help.
What Broker are you using and which one can we trust?
Would you please let me know the next good broker, you mentioned. I have not traded with FXCM or anybody else but would love to know the best and fair one.
Very disappointed of FXCM after regulators revealed some sort of scam with liquidity providers made by broker. You can find information on internet about this fraud. Mostly all liquidity providers had no access to interbank liquidity. Thus, fxcm has provided fake information. FXCM had a share and mutual interest using such a bad practice. No Tier-1 liquidity providers were found at all. Since that, all US customers were transferred to forex.com. I don't know if there is some way to work with new company... However, fxcm is not that good firm as it was for so many years. This is fact!
I agree that this Forex trading platform is easy to understand and its customer support is helful. So, if you know how political and economic events in different countries affect the price of the currency and your trading opportunities, you can count on success within this broker. It offers the large leverage level so if there is no amount needed to trade I still can deal. This broker offers really good trading conditions. There are no stop and limit restrictions on popular indices here so I can take advantage of market volatility.
We give you a $50,000 practice account to help you get comfortable trading forex on our platform, along with a free forex trading guide. Try it now!
