Relocated Thread (FXCM -vs- DCFX Spread Challenge)

Can the moderator explain why the FXCM -vs- DCFX Spread Challenge thread was moved to the Commercial section of the forum, when there was nothing commercial about the thread?

The thread was a comparative visual presentation between two broker's trading platform and open for discussion about why differentials in Spreads exist between what are supposed to be two similar Retail FX Trading platforms. The thread made no sales pitch directed at either trading platform, and only showed that the spread differential between what FXCM offered was often times 600% greater than that of another brokers platform.

The fact that FXCM's spreads were at times 600% greater, was not intended as an endorsement for FXCM, nor the other broker shown in the video. The thread was started in response to Jason Rogers, of FXCM, who indicated that a previously posted video showing FXCM spreads from 100% to 200% greater than another retail FX broker, was recorded at a time when market liquidity was low and not at peak volume. I simply recorded a SECOND video that showed not only were FXCM spreads higher than another Retail FX Broker, but in fact up to 6 times higher at times.

So, if we can't have serious discussions about matters so integral to the potential success of FX Retail Traders, such as the spread differential between Retail FX Brokers without those threads being tossed into the Commercial section of the forum, then what kinds of other discussion topic that deal with the issue of Spreads are deemed non-commercial by the Moderator here at Forex-TSD?

Some guidance on that would be helpful. Thanks.

I moved your thread, and it is nothing with spread for 2 brokers.

It is something about the following:

1. promotion of your website (about 30% of your post content was about CollaborativeFx).

2. broker wars are fully prohibited on the forum.

If your promotion of this website will be continuing, or at leats one of those 2 brokers will complain - so I will move your thread to evaluation thread or will delete it.

Just for information.

Besides, we are having 2 or more spreadometers on the forum (indicators who are recording the spread). I am personally using one of them for example. So, your topic should be nothing with [one broker] vs [an other broker]. It is something about recording the spead for many brokers just to compare:

- fixed spead or not - increasing during the news time,

- difference between spead for live and demo ...

and more ....

I did not for many brokers in elite section when I wanted to start trading PolyfitScalping EA.

No one broker will reduce the spread because of your thread. So, it is mostly educational material, and it is nothing to do with this battle as [one broker] vs [an other broker], and it is nothing with CollaborativeFx as our forum is not connected with CollaborativeFx in anyway.

(broker wars are fully prohibited on the forum).
