FXCM Brokerage information

Hi, I used to have IB for forex system. May I know what is your experience when using FXCM, especially the margin, slippage and commissions please. I heard some people complaint about spread issue at FXCM

No direct experience. You might want to review this.

Yes you are right, I just spoke with FXCM agent, she said, FXCM will close their office at US and they will not take US resident. What a shame, I can not follow forex system

There’s Forex.com, which is owned by Gain Capital

This is the official press release from the CFTC regarding the FXCM news this afternoon. It was also just announced that all U.S. FXCM accounts will be sold or moved to Forex.com which is GAIN Capital. U.S. residents will be able to follow C2 Forex strategies at GAIN Capital.
