PittsburghFX, if it's not giving too much away, in what capacity were you working at FXCM?

Well first and foremost, I was in sales. I can talk a mile a minute and know what I am doing so I signed accounts up left and right. Had over a 75% conversion rate. Sweet, but I was paid salary, so I didn't make any huge money. I made a living. While at FXCM, they basically had all of us do 2 or 3 constant projects. I Chose the FX Powercourse project and Dealing Procedures. Even at the sales desk we had access to everything with a Read Only Access. There were some places though, you had to be in the room to see. I got to go in the dealing room on calm days and Friday. That was Pizza day! That was sweet!
I really miss FXCM and working in the Industry, but when your wife is miserable, you will do anything......anything to make her happy. Plus I did hate NJ and NY, no offense to anyone, but it didn't fit my old fashion country values. I am more of a cowboy than a city slicker. I was tired of wearing a suit and tie. I trade now in my dockers and golf attire.
