FXCM Welcomes US Based FX Pro Traders

FX Pro announced its plans to exit the US market (nothing official but this was leaked to several Forex forums) and gave all its US clients a notice letting them know that they should start terminating their positions. I suppose FX Pro, which is not a NFA registered FCM, decided not to enrage the US regulator any longer and decided to close its gates.

This makes sense because it reminds me of what happened with the online gambling industry – some sites kept receiving US gamblers, despite the legislation. A number of executives were arrested when they stepped onto US soil. Some online sites have recently settled with US regulators which resulted in hefty fees – they are probably preparing for a comeback. I guess some Forex brokers choose not to risk future comebacks by pulling out early.

Following this step FXCM invites all FX Pro’s US clients to trade with it:

Over the past year, multiple forex brokers have announced their exit from the US forex market leaving their US traders searching for a new broker. FX Pro became the latest broker to announce their intention to exit the US market.

We would like to welcome FXPro’s US based traders to use the FXCM LTD MetaTrader 4 platform. The FXCM LTD MetaTrader 4 platform uses no dealing desk execution, which means there are no re-quotes. No Dealing Desk execution aims to provide transparent and fair execution by executing every trade back to back with one of the world’s premier banks or financial institutions.

MetaTrader 4 accounts with FXCM LTD have the ability to hedge and individually manage positions. All trading strategies are welcome including scalping strategies.

MetaTrader4 accounts through FXCM LTD are regulated by the Financial Services Authority, one of the preeminent foreign exchange regulators in the world. Additionally FXCM LTD client funds are segregated in accordance with FSA’s client money rules.
