Either this is a flat our untrue, your trading some obscure pair, trading at a very stagnate time, or your internet connection is slow. I have FXCM, and can tell you that my prices are constantly moving.

Need to make clarifications. Yes, extremely slow only at certain occasions for all pairs. Had oanda side by side to compare. But on average still find the update slower than Oanda, and tends to jam more often.

I trade with the Swiss broker ACM and they are great, no re quotes or slippage whatsoever. Their chart tool works pretty well too; but they don’t have mt4 yet thought, they’ll have it next month

I do not understand why people do trade and loose lots of money? Please explain?

I do believe that there are plenty of different activities that could bring you a joy or money.

I hadn't had any problems with FXCM until yesterday. The trading platform froze on the advanced order window. Not thinking much of it I went in long several lots of EUR-USD the order went immediately to waiting when I wanted a market. Apparently the order went in as a limit which I tried to cancel. The option to cancel this order was not given until it got close to the entry price. I canceled the order and went in market again and all was happy except I was 11 pips above what my ideal entry was. The trade was still profitable and I'm actually still in with a couple of lots.

I trade with fxcm micro and have had strange things happen as well. The best way to check is to have multiple charts. You may want to widen your stop ( FXCM no longer has stoploss)???

This company told me they are an ECN broker, is this true?

Yes, they are an ECN. FXCM, has over $600,000,000 in customer funds and has around 8 million trades placed per day around the globe. I dont see how a building of workers could manually submit all those trades?

My best guess is a computer is routing your orders not a person. When trying to find a broker look at the volume of trades placed over their platform per day, if its a huge volume then it should be safe to say they will not mess around with your order. Also, unless you have an account with a ton of money and trade $100-$300 per pip lots, I dont think they are going to worry about you.

I have had a few strange things happen, but really nothing to worry about. I do not like their ( No Stoploss and fxcm is going to change margin requirments on 22 November. It will not be fixed margin?)
