FXCM 50MA is at 2.18, could see a jump in the next few days if we close above that.

Really this is the Swiss governments fault for pegging the franc to the euro... If the markets were allowed to behave as markets do this would not of occurred. If you're going to unpeg something it should be known in advance and exiting orders should be cancelled with all the brokers.

This guy does a good job of explaining what happened. Is there any chance a class action lawsuit of brokers who lost from this unprecedented move occur?

Hmmm... a bullish SA article... http://seekingalpha.com/article/2847086-fxcm-reports-an-account-loss-of-3-percent-leucadia-tightens-its-grip-on-the-company

FastMatch handled $24.3 billion in buy and sell orders in one day, more than double last month’s daily average.

Guess who owns a good share of FastMatch & raked in those profits??? FXCM...

Swiss Franc’s Leap Lifts Some FX Brokers

Even as some foreign-exchange brokers that focus on serving retail customers were getting hammered by the surprise surge in the Swiss franc earlier this month, other firms that deal mostly with big banks, hedge funds and other large clients were handling record amounts of business—and raking in profits.

At New York-based FastMatch Inc., which matches buy and sell orders for banks, high-frequency trading firms and asset managers, the sharp move in the Swiss currency made for the highest-volume day in the history of the three-year-old company.

FastMatch handled $24.3 billion in buy and sell orders in one day, more than double last month’s daily average.

“That day was our most profitable day ever,” said FastMatch Chief Executive Officer Dmitri Galinov.

A similar story played out at other brokers with major institutional clients after the Swiss National Bank ’s decision, announced Jan. 15, to scrap a three-year-old policy capping the value of the franc against the euro. In the minutes following the announcement, the franc leapt by roughly 30% against the euro, a swing of unprecedented magnitude for the two currencies.

At London-based ICAP PLC, the biggest so-called interdealer broker by revenue, volume that day on its EBS currency-trading platform was nearly triple the recent daily average. The platform handled some $300 billion worth of trades, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Interdealer platforms such as ICAP’s don’t take on much market risk but instead stand in the middle of bank and asset-management clients, earning fees as they match orders. For these businesses, profitability is closely linked to trading volume.

London’s LMAX Exchange, another electronic currencies-trading venue that mostly deals with large investors, benefited as customers closed out trades, said LMAX Chief Executive David Mercer.

“We were among the winners of the day,” he said, with volume surging about 40% above the daily norm the day of the announcement, to about $14 billion.

Mr. Mercer said volatility benefits firms like his, because “when you have crisis, people need access to liquidity.”

Elsewhere, KCG Holdings Inc. ’s Jersey City, N.J.-based Hotspot FX electronic-trading platform handled a record $60 billion in trading volume Jan. 15, about double its daily norm, according to a person close to the firm.

In contrast, many firms that help ordinary retail customers trade the currency markets lost out. Losses that might have been manageable were amplified by the use of borrowed money, or leverage, so that entire customer accounts were wiped out, and left with deficits. Firms were left trying to recover losses from clients or absorbing the losses themselves.

Last week, U.S. regulators took further steps to prevent a recurrence of such losses in the event of any future jolts to the currency markets, temporarily restricting the amount of borrowing, or leverage, used by traders by boosting margin requirements.

On Friday, Danish retail brokerage Saxo Bank Group said it expects to book a loss of up to $107 million stemming from the sharp jump in the Swiss franc.

“Clients that lost money can blame us, or they can blame themselves,” Saxo Bank Chief Financial Officer Steen Blaafalk told The Wall Street Journal.

Whats the chance of FXCM getting an agreement for a loan at a more favorable rate then paying back Leucadia thereby refinancing the loan under more favorable term?

The way I would do it if I had $400 million to spare is buy $50 million in FXCM stock, then offer them a $300 million loan @ 12% per annum, pay by Leucadia and wait for the inevitable gains.

Leucadia cannot force the sale of the company for 3 years, plenty of time to pay back the loan.

FXCM also owns 50% of Lucid Markets, one of world’s largest institutional forex market makers.

FXCM has almost 2.3B in assets and is considering selling no core assets to repay loan... leaves 2B in assets and no loan.

Short term target $5
Long term target $10
