I want your advice guys! After what happened to me on Friday's NFP that I am ready to sue FXCM.

The numbers came out and I got so long at 1.8830 with a market order, this is what I thought.
It took my trade to register about a minute on the station and I almost got a heart attack when I saw the price that I had been given was 8875. This is 45 pips slippage to get a market order????

Normally, when the market moves fast, with FXCM a window pops up, price has moved and you don't get in the trade in any way. Or at times, particularly at NFP you will get a dealer window with a slippage price you've got 5 minutes to accept or not.

But I haven't ever received any slippage with a market order. Either you get the price and you're in at the price you clicked or among the two above mentioned situations will happen.

Of course I called FXCM and they added insult to injury by telling me that my eyes must have played me a hint. Basically they said the price was going so fast I did not see it on the station. When I responded that if that were so, shouldn't the price has moved window open and that I shouldn't have been at the trade? This they could not answer!

Obviously I lost a ton of money!

Now is there any recourse for me to take? This time I am prepared to sue these guys.

If they can give you any price they want at any time, it's a waste of time and moneay to trade any fast moving market with them, because how do you establish in front of a court which the price had been 8830 when you clicked rather than 8875?

And should FXCM can pull tricks like this, who will ensure that other brokers don't pull the very same stunts?
