Hi Everyone,
We've had a lot of traders ask for a way to easily share trades on Twitter and Facebook. FXCM's Programming Services team has created a free app now available in the app store called Trade with Friends. The app will give you the option to automatically share your trades on Facebook and Twitter to discuss with friends or other traders. Below is a screenshot of what the post will look like on Facebook and Twitter:
Here's a quick guide on how to setup the app to share your trades.
Step 1. Installation and Login
a. Click here to install Trade with Friends from FXCMapps.com. When you land on the page, click the Purchase button at the top right. The app is free, but you still need to click on "purchase" to go through the quick app store process to access the download file. The installation works like other programs you have probably installed on your computer where you double click on the .exe file and go through the installation window that appears.
b. After completing the installation, double-click on the Trade with Friends icon on your desktop and enter your account login details. You will need an FXCM account login. If you don't have one yet, you can click here to register a free practice account. If you look in the screenshot below, you will see what the Trade With Friends icon looks like on the left, and the actual program on the right once it has opened.
Step 2. Connecting to Facebook and Twitter
At the top left of the Trade with Friends app, click on “Login” and select Twitter. After selecting Twitter, an authorization box will appear for you to login to twitter. FXCM is not able to see your twitter password when you give authorization. The below screenshot shows buttons to click on and what will appear.
The same steps are used to authorize Facebook, but you would click on Login > Facebook instead.
Please note: While FXCM keeps all of your trading information private, FXCMs privacy policy may not fully apply to clients exposing their own information publicly. Trade With Friends app allows you to broadcast your trading details. Users of this app make their own judgment about how much information and to whom they wish to share it with. Lack of proper privacy controls can share information to unwanted individuals and/or parties.
Please feel free to reply with any questions about setting up the app, and I would appreciate any feedback you have about the app.
Jason

Hi Everyone,
This weekend margin requirements on several currency pairs will be reduced. This is to account for the weakening of the Euro and other currencies relative to the US dollar. Basically, if you have a US-dollar denominated account, you will now have to put less money in dollars as margin for your open trades.
Below are updated minimum margin requirements for FXCM LTD (UK) and FXCM LLC (US) accounts.

Note that the margin requirements for FXCM Australia and FXCM Canada are unchanged.

FXCM will be hosting another currency trading expo in Las Vegas at the Rio on November 2-4, 2012. You can click here for a schedule of all the workshops. Over 30 workshops are currently schedule, and we anticipate adding more in the weeks ahead.
I was there at last year’s expo, and it was great getting to meet many of you. For those who didn’t attend last year, you can click here for videos from last year’s expo. Let me know if you have any questions.
