Thanks Jason for the info. Is the 2-5 pip up to 10 pip just for new events?

Since Mini accounts use DD execution, it is up to the dealing desk's discretion regarding what market conditions warrant a change to the minimum stop/limit distance. With the No Dealing Desk (NDD) forex execution FXCM provides to Standard and Active Trader accounts, there are no order restrictions even during news events.

By chance, do you know the ratio account types?

It's my pleasure!

I don't have access to a breakdown of positive and negative slippage stats by account type but have passed on your request for this info. Perhaps it can be included in a future update to the execution page on our website.

Somewhat unclear about your information above. During new events the DD is performing some level of re-quoting to the customer?

There are no re-quotes with FXCM regardless of your account type.

Does FXCM ever change an account from mini to standard for other reasons other than dollars amount?

Yes, FXCM may take steps to mitigate its risk arising from providing DD execution to Mini accounts more effectively by, at our sole discretion and at any time and without previous consent, transferring your underlying account to our NDD execution for Standard accounts.

That means, we don't have to resort to the dealer intervention practices (re-quotes and excessive spread widening particularly during news events) which can occur with DD-only brokers, and you can have confidence in trading your FXCM account regardless of the account type you choose.

If someone has some data on this question, I would enjoy seeing the information.

Thanks for the info. Do you have any idea on the amount of time between placing an market order and DD filling that order?

Thanks for the pm the other day, family and I were on the last few days of a Hawaiian vacation.
The thing holding me back from opening an account at FXCM with $100k is the lack of two step authentication account login.

I'm currently looking at https://roboforex.com/ because they have this technology. https://roboforex.com/operations/verification/2-step-authentication/

I would love to open one with you guys and make my life simpler because I could still use Ninja.

From the info you posted in the pm to me....

Showing you guys being a big player why don't you have the latest tech, please.

Due to this hacking I require two-step authentication...shouldn't be to big of an ask in light of the fact you had a problem with hacking already and it seems you clearly have the resources to make a change of this size https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL3N1213FH20151001

Hi Ron,

I followed up with our relevant teams regarding your request for two-factor authentication. While this is currently being discussed, I don't have a time frame for you regarding whether this will be offered anytime soon.

That said, the amount you intend to deposit would qualify you for an Active Trader account with FXCM. Active Trader benefits include dedicated support, premium services and custom solutions. If you like, I could ask one of my colleagues in Active Trader support to follow up with you to discuss alternatives. You can send me a PM with your contact details and the best time for us to reach you.
