Jason (or anyone else),

Is there a reason why USDReal09 doesn't carry all 28 of the major crosses? My MT4 with my live account only shows 18 of the 28 major crosses:
AUDJPY
AUDNZD
AUDUSD
EURAUD
EURCAD
EURCHF
EURGBP
EURJPY
EURNZD
EURUSD
GBPCHF
GBPJPY
GBPUSD
NZDJPY
NZDUSD
USDCAD
USDCHF
USDJPY


I don't have the following 10 major crosses:
AUDCAD
GBPAUD
CADJPY
GBPCAD
NZDCAD
GBPNZD
NZDCHF
CADCHF
AUDCHF
CHFJPY


AM I missing something (ie., a configuration in MT4), or does FXCM just not offer them?

Jason Does FXCM plan to be a supportive broker of Paybackfx in the future best John
Hi Redpants,

While I cannot comment on specific introducing brokers, if you want to use the services or a particular company with FXCM, you should reach out to them to let them know of your interest. That may encourage them to apply to become an introducing broker for FXCM. If they are successful in their application, they will let you know.

​Jason..I am a big fan of some of your educational videos especially the one by Thomas Long on Chart Reading 101 from a past expo. Just out of interest what is Thomas Long up to now..looks like he may have retired a while back but do you know if he is still trading ?
Hi Deskpro,

I'm glad you have found our educational videos useful. Unfortunately, I haven't kept in touch with Tom personally, but I would be surprised if he isn't still trading.

{quote} I tried explaining this in another thread to no avail. If only traders sought to understand the business they're in, they'd probably lose less. I guess understanding comes after looking like a baller on a forum.
Thanks Bilstein, I followed up on the thread you mentioned.

Hi Nondisclosure,

Do you have a Mini account? Note that Mini accounts offer DD execution on 18 currency pairs.

Standard accounts offer NDD execution on 39 currency pairs. If you have a Standard account, then try Magix's suggestion to view all the currency pairs available to you.

Hi Jason.

I probably have a mini account (min lot is 0.01, lot size is still 100000). How can I tell? I checked myfxcm and don't have anything that designates in any way.

Do you have this condition on your website? I don't think so. Why keeping this condition hidden. Its better this condition is shown on your website so that one knows how to prepare - either to open mini account and be limited or one can open standard account for more currency pairs

Hi Jason,

I deposited money via myfxcm then received email saying the money will be available in trading account within 1-2 hours. But after 24 hours, the money still not in my trading account, I talked to the online support it replied me it would take 2-3 business days. WTF？ If it should take 2-3 business days, why FXCM said 1-2 hours in email. FXCM service like a joke to me.

Do you pay a commission on your forex trades?

  1. Standard FXCM accounts trade on low spreads with commissions.
  2. By contrast, Mini accounts trade on all inclusive spreads with no commissions.

All FXCM accounts allow you to trade micro lots (AKA 0.01 lot on MT4) so you can risk as little as 10 cents per pip.

Hi 9jatrader,

The minimum to open a Standard FXCM account is $2000, and the minimum to open a Mini account is $50.

Hi Zew,

I apologize for any confusion. FXCM provides traders with multiple deposit and withdrawal options. With some methods, funds may appear in your account immediately while others may take a few business days. Your forum profile mentions you live in Australia. Our FAQ page has details on your available deposit options and time frames.

I would be happy to follow up on your most recent deposit for you. Simply send me a PM with the details.

Commissions and spreads.

Why isn't there a straight forward answer to this? Why can't I just log into myFXCM and it tell me which I have? Why the big mystery? Seems shady.

Been a big year for me, dude!

My youngest boy joined the Canadian Armed Forces (Canuck Army), and the oldest boy is going to make me a Grampa in September.

They say when one door closes, another one opens.

For me, this loosely translates to, when one kid moves out another one moves in!


All honesty, I am excited for both of my boys and the journeys they begin this year.
Going to me a lot of cash out of pocket and a lot less "Me Time", but DAMN!
How do you not be a little excited?

I just hit 43 this year.
Glad I still have a couple years of youth, even though I have a lot less of my natural colored hair than do grey.
(On my head anyways, still have plenty of non-greys covering my back and crack of my ass)


Life really is as ebb and flow as market.

That's awesome dude! Give your kid going into the Army a big handshake from me. Takes guts to do that!
Happy belated bday too! You've still got a couple more to go to catch me (well, ok; 4).
....And congrats on becoming a grandpa! I hope to see that someday!
