He states that their main goal has always been to provide the best trading experience, execution, and educational tools while also lowering costs for clients, something they’ve been persistent on since the launch.

With the fact in mind that Interactive Brokers connects to exchanges in more than 125 markets in more than 30 countries, Robert states that their collaboration with them is the next big step in their mission.

Furthermore, Mr. Lande puts emphasis on FXCM Stocks offering a unique potential opportunity for retail traders to benefit from their commission-free trading. Alongside the access to top of the line trading technology from two global market leaders.

Moreover, Robert Lande says that these new services leaves them expecting their new clients to be able to benefit from competitive pricing as well, on top of efficient execution speeds and lower transaction costs during the trading process.

The introduction of commission-free trading, alongside onboarding clients with MaxxTrader, will certainly carve a path to a brighter future for FXCM Group
