FXCM has a long history of being a leader in Forex and CFDs. It was established in 1999. For three consecutive years, it was considered one of the most fast-growing companies in the USA. It is the broker with a global reach and quite popular in Australia, France, the UK, and Italy. However, starting in 2017, the platform no longer operates in the USA and concentrates its efforts on the international markets, especially in European countries. It is regulated under several jurisdictions, however, the main regulator is the FCA.
