@BlackSwan:
Leaving aside SLM, and MT4, etc, for the moment, I have often wondered why there are not more defenders of FXCM here on T2W. Apart from your good self and "Jason", none come to mind. I haven't done a recent trawl, but I have done in the past, and was surprised not to get more "feel" for the way people felt about FXCM. There wasn't much "anti", either, but I expected a bit more "pro". Same thing with Prospreads, actually, because on the face of it, both outfits appeared to offer the best of both worlds to the spread-better: fast execution on a DMA-"like" platform, coupled with the simplicity and tax-free advantages of the SB model.
I've been on the point of signing up a few times, but each time I've had some lingering or nagging doubt, or just on some occasions it was not the right time for whatever reason. I'm sure I will give them a go at some point, but ...
So, anyway, why are there not more fans here do you think?
