Good broker, happy with their service. My friend personally recommends FXCM (I traded for a few days on his account).

I'll be opening an account with them in a few weeks time.

Swap charges so I am told are very high compared to other brokers. I had a demo account to check this but they never put swap charges on my demo account. I emailed asking why and NEVER got a answer :(

Default FXCM problems

I have been using FXCM micro for about two years,,went with their UK subsidary firm to alleviate the new NFA FIFO rule...I have 3 occasions wher my order was stopped out when the actual price wasn't even close. The live chat rep always indicated it was due to the spread, the last order (11/4/09) the price never came within 20 pips of my SL or 10 pip trailing SL, so I will be closing the account and trying MBtrading mt4..

You can see the swap/rollover amounts in the demo. It's listed in the dealing rates window. Please see the amounts listed under RollS and RollB. It will show you the amount of swap/rollover earned or payed when selling (RollS) and buying (RollB).

I've had slippages of over 70 pips on their mt4 platform and execution delays of over 2-3 minutes. when i raised an issue with their support, they responded immediately but resolution of the issues took over a month. FXCM accepted over email that there was a problem with their MT4 feed and platform. ultimately all problematic trades were reversed and i've closed the account.

the interesting part is that the FXCM representative said that their MT4 platform operates as an MM and recommended that I switch to their Trade Station platform which offers STP. But I donot like TS, hence decided to look for other brokers.

Overall, FXCM's customer support is great, but actual execution drags them down. After all for traders, execution is primary. You wouldn't want to raise issues with support all the time.

My account was a standard live account.

They are very genuine broker and I hadn’t found any problem with them. They have low spreads, nice leverage, multiple account options according to your need.
