Risk is small 25 dollars to open an account. Margin deposits are 10 dollars for U.S. based pairs. They have great educational material and generally want their customers to be successful. The more you trade with them the more money they make that is how they stay in bussiness. FXCM earns thier revenue from spread. Each currency pair has a floating spread. I limit my cost by monitoring these and selecting pairs with a 4 pip spread or less which averages 10 or 12 pairs to choose from. They offer customizable interface, indicators and trading signals. Customer service is somewhat frustrating but they will help you with any thing you might need. I highly recomend FXCM Micro to anyone. FXCM Micro is a great place for newbies.

I really don’t know why? May be its something about the trading platform that keeps drawing me closer to FXCM each and every time I access the platform. I watch Bloomberg TV channel every day, and if there is one forex broker that advertises in this respectable TV channel, it is FXCM. I am basically a technical trader. I don’t fancy fundamentals very much. Here’s what I do with FXCM usually. First I study the charts, especially the daily ones and figure out the trends of a particular currency pair for myself. Then I keep tossing between the hourly, 5-minute and 1-minute chart and decide the movement at that point in time. Then I simply go ahead and place the trade. All this is possible because FXCM charting is absolutely precise. FXCM micro is what I prefer, as my capital doesn’t allow that I go for a bigger account. You can open a micro account with just $25, and I got a leverage of 400:1. Spreads are in the 2 pip range and that’s comforting. FXCM live streaming quotes are a treat to watch. And I love the webinars they have from time to time. Great platform with no glitches, that sums up FXCM. If you believe speede and accuracy is what a forex broker should be getting, then FXCM is simply super. Unbeatable I would say. Besides they have CFTC and FCM affiliation as well.

With FXCM you get to learn more and more as u trade more and more!!

Trade execution is fast even if you try to seize opportunity in an 1-minute chart. It does work and no slippage at all. But fxcm does not give out any economic data release news, at least not the streaming type. So it’s down to just technicals and not fundamentals with fxcm.And that's exactly what I do with fxcm---just run the trades on technicals especially with the charting. Platform is super stuff. Importantly dealing rates appear in striking colors. You really don't have to look for anything in the platform. Very easy functionality of the platform is what really helps.

The platform, in my opinion, is best on the market. The company was around for a long time, and this meters when money are involved! Never experienced ANY slowdowns. The platform is lighting fast even when executing orders in busy market. I had no problems with FXCM. The platform, in my opinion, is best on the market.
