Buggy FXCM Active trader platform cause lags & slippage
This is a video on FXCM Active trader platform. This platform offer RAW price feed ( a bit like interbank price feed) & you pay commission per trade.
Up this the web platform
The big issue here is slippage as you can notice & price lag.
@satjathamma yes you are perfectly correct but this is not manipulation,
you gotto understand that FXCM is a STP broker,
meaning the only way they make money is from the spread,
so they mark up the spread a little higher instead of commission,
yes there is no commission at FXCM only the markup spread,
we gotto accept that, it is the way they make money,
as a trader this is all we pay, the spread is variable
however what I don't like about FXCM is the stops are taken out to soon, other story

just look at the EUR/USD FXCM 1,29728 buy and the one at the top is 1,29765
it was this when I paused it but just look at any price OK, which one is more expensive? the one on the top is, so if anyone is manipulating the prise it is definitely the one on the top, and it make sense, they let you buy at a higher prise at the same time they at a lower prise hedging your position, and when you sell they again let you sell to a higher prise and they are selling at a lower price, the real price.
