For Mini accounts, we provide dealing desk (DD) execution. On the DD model, we will face market risk as a result of entering into trades with clients. Because of this risk, FXCM needs to implement certain restrictions during news events. The typical 2-5 pip minimum distance from current market rate for stop and limit orders on DD accounts could increase to upwards of 10 pips. Note that No Dealing Desk (NDD) accounts with FXCM have no such restrictions regarding order placement.
Additionally, we may take steps to mitigate the risk arising from market making more effectively by transferring your underlying account to our NDD offering. For example, Mini accounts with equity greater than 20k are automatically converted to Standard accounts with NDD execution.
That means, we don't have to resort to the dealer intervention practices (re-quotes and excessive spread widening particularly during news events) which can occur with DD-only brokers, and you can have confidence in trading your FXCM account regardless of the account type you choose.

Yes it does! In addition to the Market [AUTOLINK]Range[/AUTOLINK] feature for market orders, we have a Range Entry for entry orders. These tools allow you to specify how much negative slippage you are willing to accept on an order.
If the order cannot be filled within your slippage tolerance, then the order will be canceled to protect you from unwanted negative slippage. Note these tools only limit your negative slippage, not your positive slippage.
