Hi Everyone,

I happened to notice this post. I trade with them right now, not a large account or anything, but I decided to call in and see what they have to say about the situation. I checked everything myself after they gave me the info and it adds up: FXCM LLC is simply an FCM they founded a long time ago in case they want to offer futures trading. Forex Capital Markets is the FDM that allows forex trading. So, if you look at the CFTC data under "Forex Capital Markets" you will see they have about $55 million in excess capital. They also told me to check the contract is signed when I opened an account it is says you are opening with "Forex Capital Markets". They're obviously doing fine as you pointed out yourself. I still prefer to trade with Oanda but that's another issue. At least my withdrawal will go through
