Execution and demo realism

Contractual capacity and execution arrangement are separate. ECN/STP labels do not establish agency. Simulated fills do not verify live execution quality.

Scope
GAIN Capital Group LLC (dba FOREX.com), United States; current US agreement covering proprietary systems and MetaTrader; general demo disclaimer.
Testing status
Not tested
Contractual role
Finding
Principal
Evidence status
Documented
Notes and remaining checks
US customer agreement §4.2 says FOREX.com is principal in all contracts, not broker or agent. Section 4.3's possible future matching service is not treated as a current mixed model.
Research checked

Execution arrangement
Finding
Dealer pricing; best-efforts execution
Evidence status
Broker-reported
Notes and remaining checks
Agreement §§4.1–4.2 describes its own bid/ask quotes and best-efforts execution, including possible manual review for large orders or illiquid/volatile conditions.

Demo realism
Finding
Pricing, execution and margin may differ
Evidence status
Documented
Notes and remaining checks
US demo FAQ warns that hypothetical conditions cannot always reflect live pricing, execution and margin requirements. This is a general FOREX.com demo disclaimer, not a test of each MT4/MT5/web platform.
