Interesting.

Really none of them are honest unless there is a true exchange where orders between the actual traders are matched directly together.

On this one, I noticed that FXCM are selling their FX function to GAIN. How will this affect the feed into SC and Trading through SC? Will this remain as is?

Thanks

We expect the data feed to continue.

If you are outside the US, we do not expect any trading impact.

If you are within the US, then you will not be able to trade your account using FXCM through Sierra Chart any longer after the transition.

if the data feed doesn't continue what is your backup plan?

The first backup would be with LMAX and we are going to discuss this with LMAX.

There are other choices as well.

You should not be concerned about any data feed interruption because we do have immediate procedures we can follow in case of an interruption with the FXCM data feed.
