Thread: gain capital/ forex.com reviews please

Been together for about 4 weeks and don't really have any major complaints. Been fairly impressed with their new platform that now allows for trailing stops and many lots which the old one didn't, and is very responsive. You still cannot hedge postions, but oh well at least their are moving in the right direction.

I have always deposited money using a CC and have never had any problems, in fact funds have always shown up over 1-2 hours on my own account.

Roscoe, you must have been using the web based platform. The Java platform was much better and did allow trailing stops. The new platform is light years before the one you were using. But sadly hedging. For people whose cc payments become lost for a while, I had exactly the exact same problem. In my case it was a matter of my middle initial being on my own cc but not on my account. A phone call always got my payment posted within a few minutes.

Hello,

only a question: do you receive the whole esignal FX datafeed for free? For example, can you also display data from other subscribers than Gain, like EUR-A0@TDFX? Or is it only the GTIS composite feed and Gain's data. If I can get the whole esignal fx information, sick open an account right away.

You get the composite quotes and Gain quotes. It is possible to bring up place gold and a few other items as well. I haven't managed to bring up the dollar index, though Gain's new platform provides a streaming quote, however no solution to chart it.

What Is their swap on the GBP/JPY?

I will tell you in my experiences which they were pretty much your typical broker. Nothing but no nightmare's either.

I simply didn't enjoy their trading interface. Of course, as you're only interested in doing carry trades, I doubt it'd matter. But are you certain their swap is worth trading? It would have to be considerably higher compared to $24 you are able to get at most shops now. And of course their spreads which were usually a pip or two higher than many places.

Again, if you're doing a few trades per month, they probably aren't going to be dreadful. I never had a problem with earning money from them. I simply didn't enjoy their platform. . .it just seemed to become extremely dated and not very useful.
