i'm demoing and using their new version EFX navigator 10.13.0.12 and old EFX Forex Pro 0.906. They are working fine for me. If u are demoing, maybe request for another new login id. Because previously I had connection problem and sometime no display of bid/ask pricing, contacted them and request for a new login. So far so good.
Hope it helps, good luck.

Hi all-

A few notes regarding the recent upgrades related to the time change issue.

1) There are new versions of BOTH Navigator and Pro on the website. The Pro one always takes an extra day because it is based on the Navigator.

2) You can usually upgrade the Navigator by just installing the new version. The Pro is different. You have to uninstall the old to install the new at this time.

3) If you have ANY problems, I am going to post the best way to get a quick and clean install. These would be the full steps that you should take and should fix 99% of issues.

a) Go to Control Panel and Add/Remove programs.

b) Uninstall both the EFX FOREX Client and the EFX Navigator.

c) Go to Start...My Computer. Go into your c drive and then into Program Files. You will see directories titled EFX and EFX Navigator. Delete them both.

d) Reboot the machine.

e) Install the Navigator directly off of our website (don't save it to your machine first so you get the latest version).

f) Install the Pro directly off of our website.

That's a complete install and should solve just about anything.

Hello Justin,

Done all of the above to no avail

Navigator works just fine but Pro freezes as soon as I input a command, very tiresome. All was tickety-boo until I installed the upgrades, guess I won't be going live anytime soon.

hi justin,

just wondering on the fxpro price wheel the gbpjpy & Usdjpy has price such as 226.7899,226.7868 etc

while others such as the euro and cable only has 1.3293 without the extra 2 decimals

can this be alter or something? as in removing or adding the 2 extra decimals

what surprise me is that on the EURGBP there's not extra decimals...though this pair usually has a 1/2 pip order

i hope you understand sorry for my bad english

another this is using the fxpro...

say can i have a market order entry with a target profit without stoploss

what i know is there's a entry + stoploss without target profit

thanks

justin, could u explain a little on (Preference-order entry) TTO offset prefill - fixed pips and percentage, does that mean if u set it to percentage and have a target of 4% and a stop at 2% it will automaticly close position when one is hit. and the stop method -first touch and trade through what exactly does that mean.

I am not pro trader and I am planing to play on demo for a while. So I am looking for free charting for EFX. Can anyone have any suggestions about charting?
I am trying to use Oanda charts along with EFX now. It is not very convinient. So how others solved this little problem?

I did the same thing recently,and I used FXsol's charting and news to trade very successfully with the EFXgroup platform, my conclusion is that I can still save a bundle with EFXgroup and buy my own charting and hopefully news and still pay about half the costs of fixed spread dealing desk brokers. Yes I'll become an EFXgroup client soon and use the above plan. Fxtrek should allow a 7 day free trial too. Maybe www.fxstreet.com NetDania charts could solve your problem too.

very bad experince with live on efx ...today exactely at canada cpi release when i clikked for market order they disconnected the platform for a few seconds and then they reconnected and i was filled at 50 pips away....likely the cad continued to go down and i closed the position with 11 pips gain,but this is a big joke !!!! conclusion is that they play games during the news.

Hey, tough luck, I listened in to their EFXgroup webinar and Jason relayed how big accounts have been lost at EFXgroup, they are not the only brokers to have customers lose their accounts because they won't listen. If you would put money into a book like Technical Analysis for Dummies you would learn simple methods for winning and you wouldn't have to whine here to try to discredit a great service that an ECN can accomplish. I noticed my best trades are developing during the quiet Asian openings.
I remember thinking when I first wanted to trade forex how easy it would be to make a ton of cash on news events, then I practiced on demo accounts and saw that it isn't always a winning situation until well after the announcement is made.
Quit whining and start reading, I will now make sure that I'm a EFXgroup client cause Jason was still patient with your sorry trading habits and foul attitude; I know Jason/EFXgroup will have a good shot at working with me on my worst days without wanting to fire me as client on those days.
PS Are you still a client at EFXgroup?

There are more suitable ordertypes than "market" on EFX for your sort of endevour.

I get those mini-disconnects for a few seconds too, a few times a day. Not sure if its "the internet" or an efx-problem.

Thanks for your answer. I'll try FXsol's and also one more question. Do you able somehow to connect your paid charts to EFXdata? And you can see past data with this paid charts? I just want to understand how it works.

You know "everything" yet you use a market order at news time?

Please.

That's the first sign of a newbie.

If I were you I'd do some more reading and make sure you have a clear understanding of the different types of orders.

Nobody in their right mind would ever use a market order at a volatile period such as news time.

Sorry dude, I'm a serious wannabe trader and to get the lowest cost per transaction this is what I'm shooting for, I won't have the actual account with EFXgroup for up to 12 months and the FXtrek experience, Lord willing. I guess I would ask you the same thing after you try the FXtrek charting after your 7 days trial.
So I'd go with what EFXgroup recommends for charting or go through FXstreet and try their free charting package and their free news too. I focus on Moving averages so I may save the $50 in overhead too, but I'd hate to miss out on all the bells and whistles.
I know its frustrating to see such good stuff for spreads and yet not have the convenience that all the other demo accounts provide.

Ok then I can't recommend you basic stuff, like don't trade during news. Let me pass on what I do know about communication stuff to see if this will convince you stop your madness.

During news events millions of newbies and banks all decide to order the same way that you want to, billions of currencies get ordered at once and even the most sophisticated servers world wide get overloaded and that will reflect down the line at your level. Its like shoving a billion marbles into a firehose and then expecting that you will have the Willie Wonka marbles all the time to get passed through 1st time all the time. So what you see at the EFXgroup during news events are marbles busting out at the seems and interrupting service worldwide temporarily, it heals its like those dudes on Matrix so that everything is fine after manageable levels of marbles resume on their journey to their banks on the ECN lines. SO don't just blame EFXgroup, it could be a break in Australia or Great Britain that reflects on your computer. Hope that makes sense.
