交易商已经介绍了一种新的有处理平台执行服务以及在一种新的“迷你”账户中的1：400的杠杆。
几个月的艰难岁月过后，瑞士央行引发的经纪人间的信任危机，福汇公司（纽交所名字：FXCM），今天宣布偿还拖欠Leucadia National一笔巨额贷款。在卖掉日本和香港的办事处后，福汇偿还部分金额高达1.15亿美元。
作为外汇和差价合约交易商，福汇除了售出其他地区的子公司以外，也在寻找其他方法来增加收入。比如，当客户通过伦敦的子公司——福汇英国开户时，就需要对公司有处理平台模式的再介绍。官方对新的账户类型的介绍已经在今早通过邮件发送给客户。
在过去的十年里面，在福汇刚开始发展业务的时候，公司主要是作为做市商进行运作的。后来随着客户对新兴产品的需求增加，公司决定引入无处理平台执行模式，公司作为代理只收取佣金获利。
当公司将所有子公司转型以后，去年将所有的关注都放在了无处理平台模式上面。
由于福汇交易员对瑞士法郎的大曝光，今年1月15日“黑天鹅事件”使福汇遭受了超过2.65亿美元的损失，现在依然没有从重创中恢复。
在偿还了Leucadia National的三分之一贷款后，正在寻找新的方法来增加收入和客户基础。
新的“迷你”账户
跟随其全球运营监管以外的市场，福汇英国已经宣布，将支持杠杆为1：400的期权供客户选择。名为“迷你”的新型账户，公司将其最低入金设为50英镑，外汇杠杆为1：400以上。账户的差价合约刚刚目前保持在最大1：200。
该服务大大减少了货币对的数量，交易者可以进行交易的有18个。差价合约的数量保持不变，更愿意交易外汇货币对的客户可能要失望了。
福汇英国的“迷你”账户的另一个限制就是较少平台的可用性。使用该服务的交易者，利用这种高杠杆比例和减少最少入金只能在MT4和福汇的专有交易平台交易。
与无处理平台执行模式标准账户相反的是，公司将恢复有处理平台和包括交易总额的点差的修订。这就是说明，新类型账户的点差有可能是高于无处理平台账户的ECN执行类型。
福汇英国同样给英国大众提供点差账户。
FXCM Inc Goes Full Circle on Dealing Desk and Leverage
The brokerage has introduced a new dealing desk execution service and up to 1:400 leverage in a new type “mini” account
Following months of hardship in the aftermath of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) induced crisis of confidence in the brokerage, FXCM Inc (NYSE:FXCM) has today announced another repayment tranche of its costly loan from Leucadia National (NYSE:LUK). The amount which FXCM has repaid to its lender has totaled to $115 million so far after the sale of its Japaneseand Hong Kong units.
As the foreign exchange and CFDs brokerage is selling off its regional subsidiaries, the company is also looking for additional ways to increase its revenue stream. Hence the re-introduction of the firm’s dealing desk execution model when a client is opening an account through the London based subsidiary of the company, FXCM UK. The official introduction to the new account type has been emailed to clients of the firm this morning.
When FXCM Inc (NYSE:FXCM) started its operations back in the beginning of last decade, the company was largely operating as a market maker. As demand for a new type of product surged, the firm has decided to introduce a non-dealing desk execution model, where the firm was acting as an agent as was profiting only from commissions.
The brokerage went all-in on the non-dealing desk mode of execution last year, when the company made the transition across all of its major subsidiaries.
Due to the large exposure of FXCM Inc (NYSE:FXCM) traders to the Swiss franc, the company suffered over $265 million of losses in the aftermath of the “black swan” on January 15th this year as it failed to recover funds from traders.
After repaying more than a third of its loan from Leucadia National (NYSE:LUK), the brokerage is looking for new ways to increase its revenue and client base.
The new “mini” account at a glance
Following the lead of its worldwide operations outside of regulated markets, FXCM UK has announced that it is bringing back its 1:400 leverage option for clients. The new type of accounts called “mini” and the company has set a minimum deposit of £50 and leverage on forex is up to 1:400. The account maintains the same maximum leverage on CFDs, which is currently 1:200.
The offering is drastically reducing the amount of pairs which the traders can operate with to 18. While the CFDs numbers remain the same, clients who might prefer to trade somewhat more exotic pairs will be disappointed.
Another limitation of FXCM UK’s “mini” account is the reduced availability of platforms. Traders who choose to use the offering and take advantage of the high leverage and reduced minimum deposits will be limited to MetaTrader 4 and FXCM’s own proprietary platform Trading Station.
As opposed to its non-dealing desk execution model on the “standard” account, the company has brought back the dealing desk and revised spreads to include the total cost of trading. This means that spreads on the new account type is likely to be higher than on the ECN style execution offered with the non-dealing desk account.
FXCM UK is also offering a spread-betting account for UK residents.
