I recreated page based on recent IPO by Gain Capital and press stories about regulatory actions, giving some notability. 11:02, 21 December 2010 (UTC)Sargdub (talk) 23:51, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
This company has horrible software. Their customer service is good, but whose isn't in the forex world? So not really a selling point. They have wider spreads than Oanda and the same maximum leverage (which by the way, is by default set to 50:1...), so no good for scalpers. They put out a laughably simplistic "preview version" of a book on currency trading on their website that their CEO wrote. It's one of those "... for Dummies" type of books.
Also, the first part of the article itself sounded more like an advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:47EB:CF9:21B:77FF:FEAD:46DE (talk) 00:11, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
I made some edits to the Gain Capital page and you reversed them. I was wondering if you could tell me why. I'll be honest in that I work for Gain and I was just trying to make our page in line with what our company offers and equal to what other brokers have on their pages - many brokers who have had regulatory issues do not have them detailed on their Wikipedia page yet we do. Everything I added was purely factual and completely objective, if you disagree please let me know. by 83.217.121.98 (talk) 02:56, 21 February 2013
Full disclosure: I work for GAIN Capital. To avoid potential conflicts of interest and ensure a neutral point of view, I would like to suggest the following updates here on the talk page in the hopes another editor may implement them:
1. Can the name field be updated to the full official name of the company? "name = GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc."
2. Can the key_people field be updated to include additional members of the executive team? "key_people = Glenn Stevens (CEO)
Samantha Roady
(President, Retail)
Nigel Rose (CFO)
Jeff Scott (COO)
Mike Lear (CIO)"[1]

Full disclosure: I work for GAIN Capital. To avoid potential conflicts of interest and ensure a neutral point of view, I am using the talk page to suggest the following rating change for this article rather than editing it myself:
On the Importance scale for WikiProject Companies, it states "Companies of a mid-level importance are large, profitable corporations which exist on a regional level; Or they may be national companies which mainly function in the background and aren't commonly known outside of financial circles."
Under the second definition, the GAIN Capital article seems to qualify for a Mid-importance rating, since it has been cited on several financial news sites including Bloomberg as "the Biggest U.S. Retail FX Provider".[1][2][3]

This article should probably be rewritten as GAIN Capital doesn't seem to exist anymore following its acquisition by StoneX. Vgbyp (talk) 19:15, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
