FXCM is one of the net’s largest Forex Brokers both in terms of number of clients and capital it posseses. An average of $350 billion in volume every month is traded on FXCM’s trading platform, and FXCM is one of the most well-capitalized Forex Dealer Members. FXCM is in fact one of the longest running online Forex brokers. Consequently, FXCM has maintained strong relationships with many of the worlds largest international banks. FXCM receives and is able to offer these advantages to its clients: better prices, and better execution, tighter spreads, and ease of use. Forex is traded via an over-the-counter market with no centralized exchange, meaning not everyone enjoys the same prices or quality of execution as those using FXCM do. In reality, the world’s biggest banks usually provide better prices and execution to institutions with the largest trade volume and the most solid financial statements, namely brokers like FXCM.

Pretty sweet broker. They eliminated their dealing desk last year and the spreads have been better ever since. FXCM is a broker you can trust because they are quite established and “aren’t going anywhere” anytime soon.
