dbFX licensed the use of FXCM's FXTS2 platform. dbFX uses the FXTS2 platform and feeds their own prices and market into it. They don't use FXCM's feed. This is a common practice in many industries of business. For example, did you know that the ...

Honesty - dbFX

Excuse my ignorance, but from what I just searched about this, doesn't this issue only apply to UK stock markets and *not* forex?

Why is this rep so certain here... ...but not very certain here? This doesn't qualify as a straight answer to me. And of course the laws have not changed the leverage for UK accounts because they're governed by the FSA.

CFTC NEW Document - Overseas Accounts OK?

I care. I still don't know what will happen to my US account with FXCM UK.

CFTC Final Retail Forex Rules - 50:1 Leverage

CFTC's final rules were laid down yesterday. I'm confused here, what will FXCM UK do with their existing, and future, US accounts?

FXCM Discussion

Proposed? I thought they were final. And now set to go into effect on Oct 18.

CFTC Final Retail Forex Rules - 50:1 Leverage

So.... I take it US residents are still allowed to have offshore accounts?

Nah, you don't need to be a customer. Been using their demo accounts for months.

It's LUA. There's an API kit somewhere on the url forums. You can make indicators for Marketscope, and you can make your own program that interfaces with FXTS2. Then there's this newer platform that Jason Rogers has been going on about for the ...

How does this actual/real leverage matter in regard to the margin leverage 'brokers talk about when marketing their platforms? I thought people were happy with just saying what percentage of their account they used in their trades.

I agree. Finally! Someone made it. Semafors and tick volume on the FXTS2 platform... I never thought I'd see the day. This is awesome.

FXCM Discussion

So... essentially... FXCM has built their own version of MetaTrader, complete with tick volume?! Nice... I remember a while back, I requested that FXCM put in an implementation of the 3 Level ZZ Semafor indicator from MT4. Recently I saw that there ...

In continuation with my previous example, here is another showing what it's like for a trader who has to make a living with the profits of his trading. In this example we are not going to compound anything. Being a bit more realistic, let's say this ...

US citizens won't be able to have forex accounts overseas

That's a good question to ask Jason Rogers about in the FXCM Discussion thread. My hope is that existing UK accounts to US residents will be allowed to stay. But my guess is that they will probably be forced to convert the existing accounts back to ...

Your appreciation is received. I hope it helps those who are against the laws to prove their point. I can now see that those who live in the UK won't really be bothered to care about the leverage laws. This is something to keep in mind. Getting a UK ...

I will attempt to give an example of the effects of the leverage changes using an account with FXCM Micro. FXCM US Micro... approx 1:100 EUR/USD = $15 = 1:066.67 GBP/USD = $17 = 1:058.82 USD/JPY = $10 = 1:100.00 AUD/USD = $10 = 1:100.00 FXCM UK ...

why do i keep getting logged off of FXTS2 every 10 to 15 hours? it's getting annoying. this isn't just a simple disconnect, a signal is being sent to actually log me off which makes me lose all my chart placements and settings. this has been going ...

FXCM Discussion

Is there a chance that there is a log somewhere that would give a history of when the Breakout2 signal has been called for the past year or six months and at what price?
