Disliked{quote} While I won't speak for other US brokers I would like to address questions you've raised about FXCM's trade execution. It's interesting you should also mentioned the SNB event last year: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...23#post8130023 {quote} {quote} As others here have rightly pointed out, the SNB flash crash last year proved FXCM provides genuine No Dealing Desk (NDD) forex execution, where we offset each of your orders one-for-one with the best prices...Ignored
Aside from the history of US brokers and all their games, my main point will continue to be....if I want to risk $3,000 on a trade, I see no reason to deposit $30,000 to do so. If I am trading 6 lots of GBP/AUD with a 50 pip stop, I am risking under $3k, so I will transfer $3k to my broker. If I want to execute the same trade with a US broker, I need to put up over $24K. I just cannot justify that.
