Can't open a demo here either.
I have chat with their sales representative the demo version only available about one month.

Hehe, and here I was getting ready to send this to my FXCM clients.

I'll put it back on the shelf for a while then... Been waiting since I was told "definitely within 90 days" back in January of 2007, I guess another month won’t hurt though it’s bordering on pathetic at this point. How do you release it without a demo server?

Thanks for the answers. I feel a little lazy for not calling them myself.

The server doesn't even ping.. I don't see how it could be working for live either. These guys need to get their act together..

I suspected that. However, if you go to login, select "FXCM Real", and just put in fake info, you don't get an "invalid account" message, it stays as "no connection". Run a netstat -n in cmd prompt, there's no connection ever made, it's offline.

With fake data I got Invalid Account in Real and No connection in demo because demo server is not available.
Nothing wrong.

Well there goes that theory. Interesting because I still get no connection on Real.

I'd like to open an account, but putting 2k in a black box is a little too high.
Anyway, let us know how the new mt4 works.

I'm using FXCM as my broker, although I'm still on their trade station, I didn't know that they even have a MT4 paltform now if not for this forum.

Although it does not seem like a big deal to me, cause I use FXDD MT4 platform for charting and do my trades w/FXCM.

IMHO..FXCM's trade station is more user friendly than MT4 Platform for trade execution.

Thanks

I have seen add ons to MT4 that let you trade off the charts just like FXCMs trade station.

I have been placing some trades and it seems to be working okay. About the same spreads as their old trade station platform.

Phone them and give us an update. Having your live account down for 2 or 3 hours is not good. Do you agree with Frank as far as execution speed?

Just noticed you are not in the US. When you open a live account from another country do they give you a regional phone number or do you just use the live chat feature on the web site?
