FXCM scam: Slippage and slow execution during volatile market

I've been trading a micro account with FXCM for nearly a year and they are the only broker I have ever used.

Service is better when the market is quiet, however, when volume heats up I notice a number of different issues including slippage and slow execution. I don't know if they are hunting for my stops, but I hardly doubt they would care about my 10K positions.

My biggest concern is the outages and the slow loading of the charts at times. Customer service is good and friendly. I'm looking into a few other brokers now thanks to the information gained on this site.
