Quick verdict
Is FXCM legit and regulated?
FindMyFX has license records for FXCM, but none is currently presented as fully verified. Check each entity, jurisdiction, source, and verification date before depositing.
This is a source-limited research summary, not a safety guarantee or investment recommendation.

Professional broker overview
FindMyFX editorial summary
FXCM's European service is operated by Stratos Europe Limited, which CySEC lists under licence 392/20 and company registration 405643. The EU offering includes forex and CFDs through Trading Station, TradingView and MetaTrader 4, with retail leverage capped at 30 on major currency pairs, negative balance protection and a 50% liquidation level. Other FXCM-branded services are supplied by separate legal entities in the United Kingdom, Australia, Israel and South Africa, so those licences and terms should not be applied automatically to EU accounts.
Prepared from reviewed sources for informational purposes. This is not investment advice.
Editorial note: This record uses Stratos Europe Limited as the primary legal entity and reports EU retail conditions. FXCM entities outside Cyprus have separate licences, product terms and client-protection frameworks.
