With effect from 10.08.2017 FXCM modified their conditions (27.4 was added) that either residents of Germany or those whose accounts are serviced by the FXCM branch office in Germany, if classified as Retail Clients, shall not be liable to FXCM for repayment of any debit balance resulting from trading activities. This means in short: negative balance protection as before 01/15 (the SNB massacre) for the said customers. Actually I can not see any new account limits / restrictions at FXCM like you reported from IG.
