i have heard really good things about fxcm micro. Completely different then their regular account stuff. No IB fees in the micro spreads and I'd be willing to bet they loose money on their micro side.
If I remember correctly, FXCM is one of those brokers that does not allow residents from Quebec, Canada. This is rather weird as there are others like DBFX, IBFX, MB Trading and etc will not open accounts for residents of Quebec. This is kind of a cheap deal for me.
Yes I'm just wondering why the restriction. Nigeria? yes I can understand but Canada? lol I mean come one you guys aren't THAT bad.
I think Quebec have it's own provincial rules when it come to trading. It's all under l'Autorite des marches financiers. And maybe they are a little bit more hard on the requirements. Think or Swinm also was not opening down here. I dont know if it changed when TD bought them. But we still have a lot of choice and we can even trade CFDs. http://www.lautorite.qc.ca
Perhaps FXCM-micro is offering such good service because it's new and they want to attract new customers. You never know when they'll suddenly decide to screw everyone over...
