because they forget to remove it< as simple as that < as I know everything about dealing desk, all the contestants are in one group called contest , and the dealer just forget to change the setting of our group and remove the commission.

FXCM thanks for creating a very sub pair contest. The market watch spread is .2 pips for EUR-USD right now, and on the chart it is 4 full pips. I won´t even waste my time placing trade with this broker. Good luck to everyone.

Yo, cholipop! Do you not read the posts that come from FXCM, explaining why the spread on the chart is different from the spread in the market watch? The market watch quotes are the correct prices. The charts will reflect this at some future date, but not today. Live with it.

Hi @Cholipop
As @amelabs mentioned, this was explained in the second post on the thread, but to reiterate:
The Bid and Ask prices you see in the Market Watch window of your contest demo account are the best bid and ask prices being quoted from among 10+ competing liquidity providers on our No Dealing Desk (NDD) forex execution. Those are the actual quotes available to you to execute your trades on our new pricing.
However, the MT4 charts still show our old pricing, because many clients on these servers have not yet been upgraded to the new pricing (the transition is being done region by region to ensure we follow regulatory requirements for due notice to traders which vary by regulator, and to ensure an orderly transition within our own system so as not to negatively impact our traders), and the MT4 platform only allows one chart price feed per server.
For example, in the image below you can see there is 0.0 pip raw spread for EUR/USD that you can trade on through FXCM's new pricing. However, the charts still show the old pricing with a spread of 2.2 pips.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this. Good luck to all the competitors!

@goldgod
What volume are you trying to trade? XAG/USD is traded in volume increments of 50. For example, 50, 100, 150, etc. If you volume is not in an increment of 50, then the Sell/Buy buttons in the order window will not activate.

Well that isn´t something that I am use to as with my ecn broker both the market watch and what the chart reflects are the same.

Is their a reason no symbols are showing in my dealing rates??
If you're not seeing any symbols in the Market Watch window, right click anywhere over the window and select "Show All" in the menu. This will display all symbols available for trading.

@jasonrogers brother, can you please tell me why I am getting lots of commission deductions, any clue?
Hi @islammanjurul
FXCM's compensation used to be included as a part of the spread. With our new pricing model, you can now trade on the raw FX spreads directly from 10+ liquidity providers and our compensation is the transparent commission. Our new forex pricing reduces the EUR/USD transaction cost by up to 60% compared to previous typical spreads.
Raw FX spreads also have the added benefit that the market does not have to move as much in your favor to fill your limit (take profit) orders, because there is no pip markup to the bid and ask prices displayed on your platform. For the same reason, the market would have to move about a pip further before your stops gets triggered.

Commission taken out of your trades. New pricing as described above. Thanks.

I think the confusion with the commissions is because normally, the account history will show commissions in the same line as the trade that the commission was taken from. For some reason, FXCM is withdrawing half of the commission from your account when you place a trade, and the other half when you close the trade. So now instead of 1, there are 3 transactions in your history for each trade you place. 1) commission withdrawn when trade is opened. 2) trade information at close. 3) commission withdrawn at close.

Broker charge for opening and for closing position. Many brokers do not show the card. This shows all the payment broker for trading.
