Thanks for the replies! And great point CodeMeister! I didn’t even think of that. The ticket number changes because… it has to. In the case of a partial close, there’s no way to keep the same ticket number from a coding perspective, a new ticket ...

Hi paolomat! Thank you for the post. I think it would be possible to do this, however it would be very complex and depends on how the second EA ‘picks up’ on the first EA’s trade. Is this an EA that you have now? I’m wondering if it’s possible to ...

Right, exactly. That’s why it’s important to know how your broker does things! Some do the daily settlements, which, as you saw, close/reopen trades at the same price, whereas other brokers may not do that, meaning that you have the same ticket/deal ...

Great point about the margin requirement Gumrai, thank you! I would still suggest that everyone check with their broker as to how they handle margin on hedged positions. The reason is that some brokers initiate a margin call when the equity reaches ...

Hello! My name is Brad and I work at FXCM. I wanted to share some thoughts that may (I hope!) help out: if you are going to be trading the news, you may want to find a way to enter Maximum Deviation or Market Range orders – these orders only allow ...

Hello all! My name is Brad, and I work at FXCM. I had another though about how to exit this type of situation which may be of help. What if you were to close part of a hedged trade at a time, closing such a little amount that the realized loss would ...

Hello all! I work at FXCM and can shine some more light on the functionality of our XAU/USD product. The contract itself is for 1 ounce of gold, so if the trade size entered is “1” then your P/L on the position will be impacted, penny for penny, by ...

Hi Shadodwel! I am glad you are able to connect now! When downloading tick data, it can take a significant amount of time due to the amount of data requested. FXCM is working on a way to get data to NinjaTrader faster, however the solution is going ...
