I've seen three times a 2600 pips spike....yes 2600 pips!. I sent the screenshots to support and they didn't even bothered to reply. Now I understand why experienced traders avoid FXCM like a plague. I also learned the lesson.

After battling with FXCM for a year with their OFF QUOTES order rejection problem, I closed my account and went to City Index / GainUK. I did about 50 trades so far and had NEVER 1 single order rejected. Also on the FXCM chart I had a spread logger and I saw that the regular number that I see on my chart and that is most of the time lower than 1 pip on DAX .... goes with the slightest spike in volume to 2 or 3 pips ...and has no problem with racing even to 10 pips !!! On CityIndex I see the DAX spread during the day simply at 1 pip. And it is fixed. So the Jason team filled till now here 467 pages with explaining and explaining .... but at City Index there is nothing to explain. It simply works !

Don't worry, folks. Jason will be along any minute and copy and paste his canned statement regarding how they don't trade against you. They do not win when you lose they make money on volume, so they want you to win and keep trading. However, the statement on their actual website contradicts this. He'll probably give you the %'s on slippage as well. So we don't have to wait, I'll hunt them down for you guys.

  2. 12.77% of all orders received positive slippage.
  3. 8.52% of all orders received negative slippage.
  4. 50.02% of all limit and limit entry orders received positive slippage.
  5. 39.9% of all stop and stop entry orders received negative slippage.

yada, yada, yada

I got good news. FXCM had agreed to give me back the losses of the trade "out of goodwill" for this one time.
They say that there are no error on the trade execution. They do not admit to the spike SL hunting on their side.
Whatever, as long as I got back my money. I am glad that I recover back the losses from them.

and still up 15% for the day including the floating loss. How about you? I just realized why you're following me around.....the only two people posting in your thread are you and mastermind. Thanks for taking such an interest in me, but I'm really not interested, I am married to a very beautiful woman.

You clearly have no idea how much you are up for the day. Maybe you lack the ability to identify numbers! Nope, There are three of us posting here and if you think that your .2% and it looks like you got scared of the gbp pairs huh! Stop posting here and learn how to protect profit noobpie! The rate you're going you will margin call your 45usd account in 2 days.

You clearly have no idea how I trade, so I traded with my prior 22% gain for the day, didn't lose a thing on the day, 140% gain for the week. As for the trades EURNZD and GBPNZD, they hit their stops, which were pre-determined to only give back what I already made today. I refuse to sink to your level and keep entertaining you. You are of no value to anyone here. Go back and chat with mastermind, for some reason he has taken a liking to you. This is my last response to you, please just go away, you are using up valuable space.

Nothing valueable here especially when you are posting. If you think "giving back" the floating profit you had is "ok" then clearly you are not only lost but HIGH! If you don't want to respond to me that is fine, but clearly you had no problem responding when you were in "green" Suck it up and be a better trader #TiltMonkey

Hi Anudora,

Hi CatMan,

We've been over this several times, so I don't expect you to change your mind now, and I'm genuinely happy you found another broker you like.

However, for the sake of others reading this, I will clarify that the reason you received Off Quotes messages with FXCM is because our MT4 platform lets you specify how much negative slippage you are willing to accept. Orders are canceled to prevent you from unwanted negative slippage beyond your specified tolerance. If you find you get the Off Quotes message too frequently, all you have to do is increase your Maximum Deviation.

The beauty of our MT4 platform is unlike with some brokers, FXCM's Maximum Deviation feature only limits your negative slippage. You still receive the full benefits of any positive slippage available in the market. As Pipmaster mentioned above (though he mistyped our positive slippage percentage ), the latest execution data show the following for trades placed through FXCM:

  1. 78.71% of all orders had NO SLIPPAGE.
  2. 12.77% of all orders received positive slippage.
  3. 8.52% of all orders received negative slippage.
  4. 50.2% of all limit and limit entry orders received positive slippage.
  5. 39.9% of all stop and stop entry orders received negative slippage.

To be fair, the key reason FXCM has a more active discussion thread is because we have more clients, and they know I am available to answer their questions. In fact, latest financial data from the CFTC show traders continue to have more money on deposit with FXCM than any other US-regulated forex broker.

Hi Keen,

I reached out to you regarding the issues you mentioned but received no reply to my follow up questions. The last time we discussed, you were trading on a demo account. Is that still the case? Do you still believe we are after your demo dollars?

You are mistaken. Experienced traders are some of our best clients with Active Trader accounts and institutional accounts through our FXCM Pro division.

What a great list. Can we get one that doesn't trade against there clients? Can we get one that offers segregated accounts, so that our funds our protected? Can we get one that doesn't freeze the platform or have random price spikes you cannot find anywhere else? C'mon NFA/CFTC, you're suppose to be protecting us. But the low leverage and FIFO sure do benefit me.

When I inquired several times to Level II support about those issues, they told me that I was the only client experiencing those issues. LOL. They all are a well trained group of liars.
