[B]FXCM Partners With CNBC To Sponsor New Forex TV Show: “Money In Motion Currency Trading[/B]

FXCM Inc. (NYSE: FXCM), a online provider of forex trading worldwide, has partnered with CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, to co-sponsor CNBC’s new show “Money in Motion Currency Trading.” Beginning February 25, “Money in Motion Currency Trading” will air on Fridays at 5:30pm after the popular program CNBC’s “Options Action.” In addition there will be two short business segment updates each week on Wednesdays and Fridays during CNBC’s Business Day programming. The program will air on CNBC in the U.S., CNBC Europe, Middle East and Africa and CNBC Australia.

Forex has become one of the fastest growing and largest markets in the world. “This is a perfect fit for FXCM. With our recent IPO and the growth of retail forex trading, our partnership with CNBC to sponsor the new forex TV show will bring retail forex trading more mainstream, especially in the United States,” said Drew Niv, CEO of FXCM. “As retail traders become more active in currency trading it only makes sense that they will be looking to the top business network to bring them relevant news, education, and research on just that.”

Hosted by CNBC’s Melissa Lee, “Money in Motion Currency Trading” will focus on bringing traders insights and strategies from some of the biggest names in the world of forex. CNBC’s “Money in Motion Currency Trading” is your front row seat to the most liquid and leveraged market in the world.

“A program dedicated to currencies has never been more relevant,” said Susan Krakower, CNBC’s Senior Vice President Strategic Programming and Development. “CNBC is an investor-focused network and this program will teach viewers how to harness the power of the $4 trillion currency market.”

As the first broker specialized in retail forex trading to go public on the New York Stock Exchange in December 2010, FXCM will continue to support initiatives that provide education, news, and research focused on the currency markets.

I have to say 5:30 on Friday afternoon is likely to be a tough spot for ratings.

Good post beer viewing to fall asleep to.
Speaking of which, did you see that FXCM got done in the courts recently for basically taking money off their clients!

Hi SanMiguel,

Please feel free to visit the No Dealing Desk Q&A thread if you have any questions about NDD forex execution. When you trade on FXCM’s NDD forex execution, every trade is immediately hedged (offset) with one of several bank market makers. Because of this, FXCM does not profit when you lose money on a trade. FXCM is compensated by marking up added onto the prices we receive from the bank. The pip mark-up is essentially a commission.
