I used Forex.com before, but I switched to FXCM

I'm an early-intermediate trader when it comes to forex. Played with FXCM demo, now first day with live account. I used Forex.com before. FXCM resources are much more comprehensive, and I'm happy with the service at this point.

I had no issues trading today even during news events.

I love their charting software (was using MT4 which sucks in comparison, and I'm not interested an EA at this time).

Stops were properly executed.

Courteous service helping me get account setup.

All around I hope this continues because not having to worry about broker issues makes it more fun to trade. Not sure if the no dealing desk is fully truthful, but I was on a dealing desk before and did ok (as a novice), so either way I think I'll be good. I'm recommending this broker. I'll check in again every few months with experiences.
