Hi Shezan,Why indeed? I'd be happy to look into this for you, but I'll need more information. You can email at [email protected] with your demo login details and a description of the trades you would like me to check. I'll find out why your positions closed out.Jason

Hi AtApi,If you get the off-quotes message frequently, that is easily fixed by changing your Max Deviation. The Max Deviation lets you specify how many pips away from your order price you are willing to be filled, if your exact price is no longer available in the market. Even though you are trading on a demo, FXCM has tried to make the our MT4 demos simulate the live trading experience as closely as possible, which is why you are getting that off-quotes message. Try changing your Max Deviation to 20 or 30 as shown below, which corresponds to 2 or 3 pips.http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5299/...

Hi LiquidityFX,Try setting the Maximum Deviation in the Order window to 20 or 30 as shown below. That should fix it. Since FXCM uses 5-digit pricing (fractional pips), every 10 points is equivalent to one pip.http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5299/maxdeviation2012may09.pngJason

Hi Everyone,As evillive suggested (thanks 😄), if you adjust your Maximum Deviation in the Order window, that should do the trick.

Upgraded MetaTrader 4 Offering From FXCM in General May 01, 2012 at 19:21

Hi Everyone,Due to the Golden Week holidays in Japan, all Yen crosses will have 5 days’ worth of rollover interest today except for GBP/JPY which will have 6 days’ worth.For example, that means if you buy 10k of GBP/JPY and keep the trade open through 5pm New York time today, you will earn $0.66 or 66 cents. On the flip side, if you sell 10k of GBP/JPY and hold that trade open through 5pm, you will pay $1.56. You can always check what amount of rollover you can earn or pay for holding a particular currency pair through 5pm by looking at the RollS and RollB on the Trading Station.ht...

Hi everyone,Those of you who have an MT4 demo with FXCM will be getting an email about this, but I wanted to give everyone on the forum a heads up.Due to a server upgrade this weekend, all current MT4 demos on the FXCM MT4 platform will expire this coming Sunday, April 15th. Past trading history of those demos will not be saved. Please take appropriate measures to save any necessary data. You can create a new demo after April 15th.Why is this necessary?

If you're using FXCM's new MT4, you can now use the MT4 username and password to login to the Trading Station Desktop, Trading Station Web, and iPad platforms. The login is backwards compatible with the other platforms so you can login and manually trade. There are a couple things to keep in mind if using your MT4 account to login to the Trading Station platforms such as:1. Trailing Stops: If you have a trailing stop on the MT4 platform, it will not appear in the Trading Station platform due to differences in trailing stop logic between the platforms. Trailing stops are still availab...

Hi forexproptrader,FXCM's in-house developers have updated the integration between Metatrader4 and our NDD forex execution that eliminates the need for a 3rd party bridge, so the integration has become seamless and complete within FXCM. Orders are now sent directly to FXCM through our integration which means faster execution.-Jason

Hi Everyone,FXCM has released a new MT4 platform which is integrated seamlessly into our No Dealing Desk forex execution without the need for a 3rd party bridge. The new integration is designed to provide faster execution, since it doesn't use a 3rd party bridge, while making it an easier platform to use with our No Dealing Desk forex execution since there are no longer any auto account syncs, partial closing is now available, ability to add stop/limit while placing the order, and more. The new setup can be tested on a demo found through FXCM.com, and live accounts will be transitioned o...

To clarify, all products in the demo are eligible for trading in the contest.

Upcoming Contest Q&A in General Jun 21, 2011 at 22:07

Hi Splexin,If you win the contest, you would be required to complete the account application with FXCM, and then FXCM would deposit the contest prize into the account. You would not be required to make the minimum deposit. Of course if you want to setup a live account on your own after the contest, the minimum is $50 to open a micro account and $2000 to open a standard 10k account using MT4.-Jason

Question about StockTwits in General Sep 15, 2010 at 19:12

Here's the help page that goes over the tagging http://stocktwits.com/webhelp#postingticker . According to this page there's supposed to be a list of forex symbols but the link goes to their blog for some reason and I don't see the list anywhere. I'm guessing they've linked to the wrong page. Though the futures list goes to the correct directory http://stocktwits.com/futures-directory . May be something to contact their support about. They're pretty good to responding quickly to questions.I know "$$" will add a tweet to the general market commentary, but ...

Question about StockTwits in General Sep 15, 2010 at 18:37

Hi speculare,You'll have to use specific tags in your tweets for it to get picked up on the StockTwits feed. For example, if your tweet is about EUR/USD, you would enter $EURUSD in the tweet and that tweet will get picked up by the Stocktwits forex feed. So add the "$" to the beginning of the currency pair. Also leave out the "/" in between EUR and USD. So just $EURUSD. I do believe including a weblink in the tweet would lower the chances of getting your tweet in the feed.-Jason

EURUSD	1.02441	GBPUSD	1.22097	AUDUSD	0.61461
USDJPY	157.737	USDCAD	1.44282	USDCHF	0.91664
