FXCM provides a trading station platform, fantastic to trade.
Good timing...Just opened a demo account with them but, I can not work out how to open a chart! LoL

Read the help files, it says right click on a symbol and open a chart but, there is no option to open a chart when I right click on any symbol.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open Chart for Selected Symbol
To open a chart for a symbol selected in the Dealing Rates window:

 

  1. Right-click in the symbol quote box or row, point to Open Chart in the shortcut menu, and then click the period of your choice.
  2. On the Charts menu, point to Open Chart in the shortcut menu, and then click the period of your choice.

Note: For guidelines on working with Marketscope charts, see Marketscope 2.0 Help. You can open it by clicking Marketscope 2.0 Help on the Help menu of either the FX Trading Station or Marketscope.

i recommend to don't trade this gap^^

actually, there aren't any gaps, gaps a information lacks of your broker, so gaptrading is a myth and gaps as well.... markets are open 24/7,

so stop this shitty gapstuff and concentrate on the real things

best regards

Hey Pha, you can be sure that I won't jump into that. I just wanted to know if it's a gap shown on other broker's feeds as well or if it's an IBFX thing again. Thanks for your help.
Thanks J16, Sam Seiden, Udine and Jacko

Any trading station people around that know how to open a chart ?


This can not be right, there must be something wrong with this installation.

There is no option to get to marketshot.

I just talked to FXCM, they think it is a problem with the installation file.

Will download it again...


Thanks for the help.

Not sure yet, I only got it working 15 mins ago.

And, this is a demo, maybe you should ask someone who has a live account with them.


EDIT:


Here is the order window.

I think it would be a good idea, to demo any broker for a while.

Think I am getting MT4 withdrawals. Been with that platform for too long, everything seems so alien like in TS2.

as far as i know... it's not flexible compared to Oanda.

IMHO, MT4 is more client-friendly than FXCM's TradeStation2 & Oanda's FXTrade (& probably other platforms).

I saw a pic here some time ago. It was like a table showing if you lost 25% how much % you need to make to BE... very nice informative table. I thought I saved it, but no, and it is just impossible to read back to find it

Maybe anyone by any chance has it on his PC? Thank you...

My answers below in bold...
Hey Mike,

Thank you very much - as always, extremely helpful stuff. Yes, there are no shortcuts! I really appreciate the time you took to answer, and I'm studying the older post you referenced as well.

Hi all,

Another analysis; this one's a little tougher than the last one, for me, at least. We've got a BEOB on the daily GBP/JPY; to short or not to short?

...

So my plan is as follows: enter on a limit order at 131.4, just at the bottom of the PPZ, which is also a 38 fibo retrace of the BEOB. Place my initial stop 132.2, above the high of the BEOB and just above a PPZ. If price breaks the low of the BEOB, move stop to BE; take profit at 130.5 (90 pips, more or less).

Let's see what happens...

--Dave
Well, would you look at that. Price rose (at least on my chart) to 131.39, just barely failing to trigger my short limit order.

I did something I hope I will NOT do when really trading (but have done many times in the past) - when I saw that my order was SOOO close to being hit, and that price had only retraced a little, I entered on a market order. Chasing the market? Yes. But this is a demo trade; I want to see what happens. So my stop is at 132.2, as planned; hopefully I can follow the plan now.

I have FXCM tradestation...like all platforms/brokers, each have there benefits....a few that come to mind with fxcm...I am able to trade on my cell quite easily, althought charting on cell is minimal, fxcm charts offer another view, sometimes it appears i am able to pick things out better sometimes, i don't like the drawing capabilities compared to mt4, fxcm i am able to change my positions quicker moving stops, limits, etc right on the chart without having to open a ticket as in mt4, fxcm support is minimal with a micro accnt(forums) email ---but no phone support..spreads can be higher compared to other brokers compared to Oanda and MB trading(sometimes)....these are few things that come to mind. Platform has been stable.
Hope this helps,
Bill

Lot of support and former reactionary bars at that area.

Also, is that BEOB at a swing high?
