And I would say it’s a feat and good result. FXCM managed to post 36.49% up for their sentiments managed accounts for their clients for 2007,

Dear Trader:

FXCM’s Managed Accounts performed spectacularly in 2007.

We outperformed most funds in our category, with top rankings in BarclayHedge, AutumnGold, and IASG.

Sentiment Program: 36.94% gain in 2007*

BarclayHedge: Top 10 Currency, Systematic CTA
Ranked 2nd by Sharpe Ratio

AutumnGold: Ranked 5th for Current Monthly Performance, New Funds, Ranked by YTD Return

These are not hypothetical results; this program has been trading real money throughout 2007.

Sentiment Aggressive Program: 64.07% gain in 2007 (program began in July)*

AutumnGold: Ranked 3rd for the year for new funds (funds started after January 2005)
Ranked 3rd for Large Funds

IASG: Ranked 5th for funds with over $10m under management

Both programs are notable for special advantages—a very low minimum investment and no lock-up period.

I still find it funny that a broker firm offers MA because it would completely be a total conflict of interest, but its nice to see people making money out of it.

Hey Jude,

Are you kidding? Brokers make a killing trading forex as well as taking a commission off all the trades. These funds are offered only to investors with $20k at least or so normally - the brokers are smart enough to realise they can cash in on investors with money as well as those with $500 to put in to a mini and they profit from both.

Think about this: the 30%++ return does not reflect that the company may have doubled each investors investment within about 3 months maximum and then safeguarded their capital. The 30%++ is a mere fraction of the profits generated by FXCM in my estimation.

Thanks for this post though. I follow FXCM and the sentiment indicator they publish on a daily basis and it’s probably the only contrarian indicator I think is worth looking at. I like them as a broker, even though not satisfied with the advantage they already have, they abuse their advantage by closing trades at a slightly altered price if it means they can steal a few more pips out of their clients.

Best wishes,

Sam Beatson
