what's going to be left when FXCM leaves? Oanda? Gain Capital? How many of you prefer their services to what you were getting at FXCM?

If anything, this should bust open the gates on the whole Dodd Frank restrictions that the Americans are bound by. Especially in working with brokers overseas. You guys totally got the shitty end of that deal and what has it done to protect you? What will be the next additions to, keeping your money in the US, FIFO, no spot metals...you can only trade the USD cross pairs? I think this actually adds one more layer of complexity in keeping FXCM afloat. If these motherfuckers tank, there's going to be a whole new shit storm to deal with.

If by "tank" you're implying bankruptcy, not going to happen. Even if the loan terms were predatory it did keep the company solvent. As far as regulatory action after this...well, that's a total crapshoot nobody knows what the idiots in Washington will come up with next if they do.

That activity may be driven by poorly informed day traders, said William Katz, a Citigroup Inc. analyst. The shares are worth 75 cents each because about 95 percent of the proceeds of a sale will probably go to Leucadia and debt holders, said Katz, who recommends investors sell the stock.

{quote} Well my first account went bust on 2009, it was Oanda scalping account, but I credited the loss to my lack of knowledge of fundamental moves. Yes, I can recall they had some crazy spikes back then. I also suspect em the´r twisting historical timeseries to move with indicators, coz have been saving those and there are little differences , could be requotes, but some are strange. Nevertheless, due to Oanda beeing DD broker, what you see is what you get. Yes, it is their price and can make it up, so can feck you over in microTF. Perhaps they...

{quote} I'm not sure if you're stating the offshore brokers are a joke. Personally, I think trading with a US broker is a joke. Do you feel you're more protected? My money is no less protected than yours at a US broker. Only difference is I only need to put up 10% (now 5%) of the funds for margin than you do. Been trading offshore for a year and a half, make withdrawals twice per month. They hit my bank within 24 hours (the US brokers take 3-4 days within the country, lol). They are not regulated by choice, so they can do business with US residents....

{quote} When the share prices hit the shitter and they are facing delisting....they'll have to resort to cashing in empty pop cans to pay staff. How well does an investigation do for any public traded company? When have you heard of lawyers forcing an investigation, just for shits n giggles? Even if they come up smelling like a rose, the costs involved plus the stigma surrounding this, will be enough to cause further exodus. Won't be a sole willing to touch...

{quote} Ok mate, quote from the same news you posted: FXCM said today in a statement that its average retail trading volume this month is $27 billion a day, on pace for the most ever. The company said it plans to expand its core business while selling other units. Think great idea to let go such a big portfolio of clients. Nonscence discussion I think, as noone sees inside. All news are twisted anyway, now there is hard cash involved. Am also hungry so going for meal. But was it Rotschild saying: Buy when there is blood on the streets? Nonscence,...
