Due to popular demand from our client base, FXCM is pleased to offer the Metatrader platform. However, as Metatrader is a third party software provider, we are unable to guarantee its performance. Most electronic trading facilities are supported by computer-based component systems for the order routing and execution of trades. As with all facilities and systems, they are vulnerable to temporary disruption or failure. When you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be exposed to risks associated with the system including failure of hardware or software. Pursuant to the terms of the FXCM Client Agreement, FXCM clients must review their account activity on a regular basis and report inconsistencies to FXCM immediately. Additionally, clients should familiarise themselves with Execution Risks as outlined on the FXCM website.
