If it's a UK based company it wont have that leverage. Beware, the FCA are warning about a clone company using, obviously, the same name.

Well they actually started in 2002. Every review I've read has been favorable but I would have liked some user input.

Anyone using XTB at the moment. How would you rate them

Actually, I'm now using FxPro but the margin requirements should be the same. I'll check with them. Which Platform are you using?

I can't help feeling that ESMA have gone over the top. I was involved in the CHF trade a while back but as the max I will risk is 1%, it didn't kill me. Lessons on leverage were certainly learned that day, the Australian trader who went from +35000A$ to -240,000A$ must certainly have had a...

I've just been taken out of a EURGBP trade by .4 of a pip. On my dummy account, the lowest price came to my level was 9 pips away. Could anyone using FXCM's Marketscope please tell me what the low was (bid) on the 30m candle at 1200 today, 14th July? Cheers Don

Many thanks for that, that is what I had. Interesting what you say about IG because only once was I taken out to the pip but, with FXCM, it seems to be happening quite often. I'll have to review my stops. Once again, many thanks.

Is anyone trading the DAX on FXCM Marketscope spreadbetting account(GER30)? If so could I ask you to look at the 5m candle at 1405 and let me know what the highest value on the ask was? Once again, I've been stopped out to the pip only to see the trade then shoot through my target. It makes you...

Interestingly, Dukascopy, a Swiss brokerage, reduced the margin available on the CHF, last Autumn as they were concerned about the CHF pegged level. It begs the question about the broker's responsibilities in general, but then look at how many went broke! If Saxo were to take anyone to court...

I was a Worldspreads customer, segregated account, when they went bust, put my claim in and the funds were returned very quickly.

Many Thanks for that options-George, could you please tell me what the lowest ask price was for last Friday evening? It was 1.4399 on my FXCM platform. Cheers :)

What I was hoping for kalott was for traders on other platforms taking a look at their spreads so that they could be compared. I'm still not 100% about FXCM. :)

That confused should have been a smiley! :)

Mornin' All Was anyone trading the GBP/CHF on Friday evening? I had a trade that should have triggered when you look at the Bid but when I switched to the Ask, price was 70 pips away! As far as I can make out, prices for the CHF have now stabilised. I can understand larger spreads on Sunday...

igeurchfloss, I agree that if you make a bet and it goes wrong then you pay....except for how it goes wrong. One of my trade with FXCM was finally closed on the Sunday opening after the SNB action. I could not do anything with that trade. It came back 500 pips in my favour and I couldn't move...
