After a month of trading with fxcm mt4, I have to give up.
Too much and too many slippage. Order excution time vary from 1 to 15 seconds. When my order took 8 seconds to filled, I called fxcm support and I was told that it is normal for fxcm mt4 to fill order within 10 seconds!!!
The staff there also explained to me that bt mt4 works like a bridge to their trade station. so under mt4, order from mt4 --> trade station --> market --> trade station --> report back to mt4, so there is an extra time for a round trip between mt4 and trade station (in trade station, order goes directly to market). I felt like a second class client by using mt4
So with 10 seconds order excution is acceptable under mt4, I decided to give up.
