The plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of FXCM Inc (NASDAQ:FXCM) common shares between March 15, 2012 and February 6, 2017, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between March 15, 2012 and February 6, 2017, the Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that between September 4, 2009 through at least 2014, FXCM's U.S. subsidiary engaged in false and misleading solicitations of its retail foreign exchange customers by concealing its relationship with its most important market maker and by misrepresenting that its "No Dealing Desk" platform had no conflicts of interest with its customers, that FXCM's U.S. subsidiary made false statements to the National Futures Association about its relationship with the market maker, and that as a result, Defendants' statements about FXCM's business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On February 6, 2017, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") found that FXCM Inc was engaged in false and misleading solicitations of its retail foreign exchange customers. According to the CFTC, FXCM Inc covered up both its relationship with the Company's most crucial market maker, and that the fact that the Company's "No Dealing Desk" platform had conflicts of interest with FXCM's customers. Shares of FXCM Inc (NASDAQ:FXCM) declined from $7.25 per share on February 2, 2017 to as low as $2.75 per share on February 8, 2017.

On February 13, 2017, NASDAQ:FXCM shares closed at $2.90 per share.
