Greater Volume and Access to Competitive Pricing
FXCM's trading volume is virtually among the highest in industry compared to other Forex Dealer members. In an over-the-counter market where traders must rely on the financial strength, stability and integrity of their dealer in order to fulfill obligations on their forex transactions, size does matter.

As a result, FXCM receives and is able to pass on the benefits of size to our clients. FXCM maintains tight dealing spreads and quotes aggressively at all times.**
