The changes to the Trading Station/Marketscope platform over this weekend have made it almost impossible for me to continue my daytrading system.
FXCM has removed the ability to make Limit and Stop changes by pip values on market orders or on already-open trades. It is now ridiculously cumbersome to measure with a ruler desired stops/limits, note the price, then manually type that value into an already existing trade. I am also now unable to drag Stop and Limit lines in Marketscope to set them at different pip values and see those values on the chart.
In fact, these new handicaps are forcing me to consider leaving FXCM altogether. The ease of using the Marketscope platform was the only thing keeping me with this broker over the past two years - in spite of its super-high spreads compared to other brokerages
