I would greatly appreciate some if the forum members here could share your experience:-)
thanks in advance!
FXCM will stick it to you every way they can. Look how much they spend on advertising. Why? Because they have to get a continuous supply of Newbies to replace the ones they've shafted. They use every trick in the book. Open an hour after trading starts on a Sunday so they can run the stops beforehand to stopping you paying in to meet an upcoming margin call so you get wiped out. They say they don't have a dealing desk - but read the small print. Stay away from them.
