ℹ️ About FXCM

About FXCM FXCM (Forex Capital Markets) is a globally recognized retail forex and CFD broker founded in 1999 in New York, now operating under the Stratos Group — a subsidiary of Jefferies Financial Group.

With over 25 years of continuous market presence, FXCM was one of the earliest developers of an electronic trading platform for the foreign exchange market.

The platform grants traders access to major forex pairs, indices, commodities, shares CFDs, and spread betting instruments through its proprietary Trading Station platform, MetaTrader 4, and TradingView integration — all deployable on desktop, web, and mobile.

FXCM's no-dealing-desk (NDD) execution model routes orders directly to liquidity providers, enabling transparent, commission-free trade entry on standard accounts with competitive variable spreads. Active Trader accounts unlock deep volume-based spread discounts.

Regulated across multiple jurisdictions — including FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), FSCA (South Africa), CySEC (EU), and ISA (Israel) — FXCM maintains strict financial standards backed by a multi-regulatory compliance framework spanning six continents.

FXCM also operates FXCM Pro, a wholesale liquidity and prime brokerage service designed for retail brokers, small hedge funds, and emerging market banks seeking institutional-grade execution infrastructure.
