ODL Securities is a leading, independent FOREX, derivatives, equity and commodity trading house.

Originally founded in 1994 as an Options House with just 28 staff, ODL Securities Limited received a capital injection from new shareholders in 2004 and a new senior management team was appointed. Since then, a wide range of enhancements have been implemented across all areas of the business, and new products introduced.

In 2010 ODL Group Limited ("ODL") has agreed on terms to be acquired by U.S.-based FXCM Holdings LLC ("FXCM")*. This combination creates a global forex and CFD-trading powerhouse. ODL's strong UK and European operations provide an excellent compliment to FXCM's sizable operations in both the United States and Asia.

Founded in 1999, FXCM is one of the largest forex brokers, regulated by several financial regulators including the Financial Services Authority in the UK and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in the U.S. FXCM is one of very few forex and CFD brokers to regularly publish its balance sheet. With over $135 million in firm capital (assets minus liabilities), FXCM exceeds regulatory requirements.

The combined companies have over US$800 million in client equity, over US$150 million in firm capital, approximately 200,000 live trading accounts and over 700 employees worldwide to support you and your clients.

ODL Securities Limited (“ODL”), a subsidiary of FXCM Holding, LLC and an affiliate of Forex Capital Markets Ltd. (“FXCM UK”) is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority (“FSA”) [Registration No. 171487]. FXCM UK is also authorised and regulated by the FSA [Registration No. 217689].

* The finalization of the agreement between FXCM and ODL is contingent on several factors, including but not limited to, regulatory approval.
