I'd agree with what you say except for 2 things. FXCM's difficulty is becoming so regular that it is curtailing trading even if there is moderate volatility. It's turning into a problem more often than once a week and this really did not used to be the case together. It used to be fairly rare that their platform couldn't cope.
Secondly, I don't see why our ability to trade at times of high volatility ought to be confined either by their own behaviour voluntarily by ourselves due to their inability to perform at these times. I've had no difficulty trading at times of high volatility along with other brokers, so it is my option to deal with them since this way I keep the capability to trade at times of high volatility if and when I so choose. And yes, I still make many pips if I can get my trades executed at something close to the time I set my orders.
