Note that dbFX and FXCM offer the exact same pairs and the spreads are exactly the same on every pair except for NZD/USD which differs by one pip. I guess Deutsche Bank has reached the same conclusion that FXCM has: that the retail FX customer is a sucker to be raped to the max without concern for the ethics involved. At least until someone goes to jail.
the weird stuff is that if you talk to dbfx they don't acknowledge using FXCM's platform.... and if you talk to www.db.com people they don't deny dbfx being their retail FX outlet. I think they wanted to reach this market and just leased the same software, at least temporarily. Most likely it IS Deutsche Bank, and there is no reason to expect the same business PRACTICES just because they use the same platform.
well i contacted them more than 1 month ago here is the answer "we just rent the softwaer of FXCM but we are totally Impendent we have our customer service and our dealing desk" they say offcourse i don't belive them but in the other hand DB is very big to be a white label for FXCM REFCO also were big i'm confused but i hope they are Impendent Regards all
