FXCM banned by CFTC after taking positions against clients
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- FXCM has been banned from operating in the U.S. after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission found the retail currency broker had an undisclosed interest in the market maker that consistently "won" the largest share of FXCM's trading volume - and thus was taking positions opposite its retail customers. The CFTC also found that FXCM willfully made false statements to the National Futures Association in order to conceal FXCM's role in the creation of its principal market maker as well as the fact that the market maker's owner had been an FXCM employee and managing director. FXCM also agreed to pay a $7 million fine and never seek to register with the CFTC, and the two founding partners, Dror Niv and William Ahdout, will withdraw from CFTC registration. FXCM, Niv and Ahdout didn't admit or deny the findings.

do you all really think that they are the only one?![]()
There is a very small difference between the rates available to bank employees and the general public in forex. Very small indeed. That is why to gain from it the culprits must trade in the hundreds of millions. It is there staring at us and the temptation is great especially when we are squeezed for $$$$. These two are the ones getting caught .. tip of the iceberg.
Nothing wrong with earning a little extra on the side. They just doing their jods. Their employers are not screwed. Only those aggressive online forex brokerage firms got screwed. If they hedge and not act like bookies, they would not cry over spilt milk.
Must be they got baotoh by their high caste colleagues. Now more and more invading the dealer room.
there is only a way to make money from forex but i am not going to disclose here. cos' if i do, the sharks might change how the game is played.
my last broker told me that the traders at the brokerages can see your trades and bet according to it.
so the problem i am facing is that i dun trust all these brokerages and banks. if i want to trade, i go straight to a money changer.:o
Yes, you are right. Clearly the reporter did not understand it. Not only the cumulative amount must be big but it does takes a quite a long time to insert these trades which are essentially dead trades as they are matched trades. The only way these guys were caught is because they told someone about it.
The market for cash notes via the money changer is a totally different market from the real world of forex trading.
Market for money changer is minuscule and rely on actual availability of the cash notes...and the spread is far too wide to make gains.
