FXCM can't be very happy about losing this business. Won't this be an issue? FXCM is also one of the biggest name in Forex world. Forex is the most profitable business for future and Forex transactions are $4 Trillion per day. If DBFX is quitting they must be thinking of something. Why would somebody sell a highly profitable business? Think about it. Till today, Forex industry was safe from world economic problems/crisis. In fact Forex transactions have increased by $ 1 Trillion per day in past 1 or 2 years. What will be the effect of DBFX quiting Forex on the world economy and stock markets? Sincerely Bearice (Rest in Peace)
