I look at several forums on a daily basis to help me with my trading and simply had to register here today to let you all know that this posting has appeared on several forums. The guy never comes back to answer any other postings and probably is a competitor of FXCM's. I have traded with them for 5 years and I am trading on their No Dealing platform. I have had an excellent experience with them. Asyou trade directly with the banks there is no way for them to trade against you - your order goes to the banks. That is what they tell you on the phone and as they are definitely audited every year by the NFA, I am sure this is true otherwise they would have been shut down years ago. They make money when I trade. That means, the better you trade, the more you will trade and the more money they will make. I have been very successful with them so do not believe everyone's sob story. Most traders fail, and those that do simply do not want to admit to themselves (and the world) that they don;t have what it takes to trade well. It's always much easier to blame others. I recommend trying them. They are clearly the largest broker out there, and there is a reason for that. And, they are the only firm that posted their financials online of their own doing. Way better than the FXDD and FXSols of the world who are barely regulated and often fall below net excess capital requirements...
