Just received the email from FXCM that margin requirements are changing again from 20th March, and that "FXCM does not anticipate that margin requirements will have to be changed more than once a month." Oh it is also mentioned that "Monitor usable ...

It depends which "Jason" you're talking about, rayzz. Read his(?) profile to see what I mean.

Too little, too late. Changing the margin requirement on the Indices, without any notice or even the courtesy of notification after the event, forced me to close out trades for a significant loss to avoid margin calls. Prior to the change I had more ...

Yes that was the fx & gold email I think. Nothing about any other instruments - if you have something that does mention others (indices) I'd really appreciate a PM.

I don't think so. But be wary - FXCM quadrupled the MMR on an account I trade without any notice at all. Not even after the event. They sent out the updated margins re fx and gold, but no mention was made of indices. Also, they only increased the ...

I've always been a champion of FXCM. Unfortunately no more. Quadrupling the MMR on trades already open has done it for me. Trades closed for high losses to avoid potential margin calls. No more trading the account. Still looking for a spreadbet ...

I've just been on live chat, then phone to FXCM because I couldn't believe what lc were telling me. I noted on just one of the accounts I trade that MMR had changed from 6 to 24. (FTSE & DAX trades only.) Thought it must be a mistake as a) hadn't ...

Many thanks for trying to help me out Phylo. As I only trade (well, spreadbet) indices I'm thinking/hoping none of these margin changes affect me. Of course if they don't now, it doesn't stop me wondering how big a snowball is gathering further up ...

Hi Jason. I trade DAX and FTSE Indices so thankfully/hopefully it seems these new margin requirements don't apply to me? However, reading the Updated Margin Requirements document sent out today with the warning email, they talk about leverage ...

Hi Jason I'm trading for an investor under LPOA using TS2. I seem to recall that I can't trade under LPOA with an MT4 account. Is that correct? Thanks

Hi again. I'm concerned there is an issue regarding spreads on GER30. This morning (UK) TS2 is regularly showing 3-4 point spread on live account. Yet MT4 is only showing 1 point, also live account. Clearly something wrong here! Edit: Change that ...

Fair enough, thanks. Yes I'm well aware of the increased spread during off-peak

Hi Jason. Over the last few trading days the spread on the DAX (GER30) has been 2 points rather than 1 a lot more than usual. Is this is a seasonal thing? Thanks.

Hi Jason Are the any plans to produce Real Volumes for CFDs? I spreadbet UK100 and GER30 and would find them a real benefit. Thanks

And we're off again... Now for all the conspiracy theories.
- Digitalis replied Oct 14, 2014
I phoned. They're trying to fix it. Although my MT4 5 and 15 min charts are working now, no 1min and can't log into TS2.
- Digitalis replied Oct 9, 2014
If only I'd known that from the start! Thanks very much, now if you could just reverse the trend on the FTSE and DAX I'd be much obliged.
- Digitalis replied Oct 9, 2014
Just so others are aware, I've been told there's no way around it. If you want to switch from TS2 to MT4 you have to open a new account and transfer funds to it. A real pain if you have open trades in TS2 account. But thanks anyway Jason for your ...

Hey Cobra this might help: url
- Digitalis replied Oct 3, 2014
Jason, Can you confirm that if I want to switch trading platform from TS2 to MT4, (so I can use my own trading buttons) then I have to open a completely new account? Why can't my existing account, including balance and open trades, just be accessed ...
