Trading the news with FXCM - What a mistake!

I opened an fxcm micro account and I made good money for nine consecutive days. I then decided to trade on busy Friday after release of jobs data.

Big Mistake! My trades were locked consistently at large losses. They finally closed me out with a huge loss of $1400 when a margin call was issued although there was still money in the account. The pound traded down to 166.50 for about 4 seconds and recovered to 166.90 in less than 1 minute after they had cleaned out my account.

This is their favorite method of stealing money from your account. Beware! Do not trade large positions or on very busy days when they have an excuse to lock your trades and issue margin calls. They will ROB you and take your money!
