I too want to open up a live account, however I can't find too many reviews about them, I want to know how the withdrawal proccess goes and if there are any problems.

FXCM is oldest company in forex (no counting banks, etc.). They are stable and have over 100,000 clients.
But only FXCM in UK offer fractional trades as ECN brokers.
With demo I had a problem-no connection, few times.
If will be happened with live account that will be disaster.
Who is dealing with them?
Thanks

New York, November 16, 2009—FXCM LLC (Forex | currency trading | forex trading | forex broker) is re-introducing a great feature to the FXCM Trading Station: Stops and Limits. FXCM has created a new set of stop orders and limit orders that are compliant with the FIFO rules mandated in 2009.
Stop orders and limit orders are some of the most popular tools a trader has to manage risk. FXCM has created a short video to educate FXCM LLC clients on how to use these new stop and limit orders. Net Stop and Net Limit
Traders with FXCM LLC accounts based in the United States can now place stops on all positions in any one currency pair. The new stops and limits will apply to every open position in the currency pair. FXCM calls these new orders “net stop orders” and “net limit orders” because they apply to the total positions, or “net” positions in that pair. Since net stops and net limits apply to all positions in one currency pair, traders now set them in the “Summary” window of the trading station. The “Summary” window shows traders all the positions they currently have open in each currency pair. FXCM LLC clients will notice that there is now a new Stop column and a new Limit column at the far right side of the “Summary” window.
FXCM hopes traders will find these new features useful in their trading, and FXCM will continue to work to improve their abilities as a trader.
For more information on net stop orders and net limit orders, go to the FAQ here: ***FXCM Trading Station Update - Nov 13*** - DailyFX Forum
To open a demo account to test the new net stop orders and net limit orders, click here: Free forex demo account | Forex practice account
Note: All FXCM U.S. based clients with FXCM LTD (FXCM UK) accounts will not be impacted. FXCM LTD clients will continue to place stop and limit orders on individual positions.

As of June 2009

Hi bundysax,

Our UK office does not have the same FIFO rules. You can close positions in any order you want, and you can also hedge trades. Meaning you can both buy and sell the same currency pair at the same time. FXCM UK has MT4 available.
