FXCM signs up DIF Broker

FXCM a leading online provider of foreign exchange trading and related services worldwide and DIF Broker, a leading independent online financial broker, announced that DIF Broker will white label FXCM's MetaTrader 4 platform starting this May. Citing a commitment to ensure that its clients have, in their opinion, the best solutions available in the market, DIF Broker partnered with FXCM due to FXCM's integration of its No Dealing Desk Forex execution and the fact that MT4 is one of the most popular platforms used. DIF Broker will offer the MT4 solution under the brand "DIF FX."

"FXCM's newest MT4 offering, has taken the next step in providing, what we believe to be, the best MT4 trading experience in the marketplace," said Brandon Mulvihill, managing director of FXCM UK. "Especially with the rise in popularity of automated trading, this white label partnership seems like a great complement to the DIF Broker offering."

DIF Broker will offer a wider opportunity to its clients throughout Western Europe with FXCM's established product by providing a different kind of trading in the DIF FX platform.

'Today, investors want compelling trading products that make a great experience,'' said Paulo Pinto, chief operating officer of DIF Broker. ''DIF Broker will allow its clients to combine the great services already offered on the DIF Freedom platform and the ability to execute on a new platform, DIF FX, with the strength of a leading forex broker offering a total contingency plan for Leverage instruments to our clients.''

Forexmagnates were participating in FXCM's quarterly conference call yesterday, although Q1 2012 figures were lower than previous months overall the group is healthy and forward thinking.
