If you are referring to the inability to attach stops and limits directly to individual open positions, this is in direct response the new NFA Compliance Rule 2-43(b) which came into effect after July 31st, 2009, and as a regulated entity we are required to abide by.
Read Compliance Rule 2-43(b)
These new regulations will only effect clients of Forex Capital Markets, LLC (FXCM US), and not of others such as Forex Capital Markets Ltd (FXCM UK) and others.
FXCM has introduced a new feature called OCO (One Cancels the Other) entry orders, which will provide traders with the same functionality as they have been accustomed, except that they are not linked to any positions.
