I'm currently running a micro account with everything going well so far. Only complaint I have is the fxcm mobile trading platform for android sucks pretty bad. The charts are pretty sub par unless I'm doing something wrong. No candlesticks only lame line charts with hard to identify price areas and only one usable trading time frame.
Bro, do you have any experience testing their mobile platform using Apple iphone? If yes, is it ease to use and smooth?

cheers

Hi gioviforex,

FXCM holds no funds at MF Global.

FXCM is a technology provider for MF Global Canada meaning they license our trading platform. Any MF Global FX Canada clients that wish to move their account to FXCM may do so.

Dear Jason,

Not sure either this feature is available or not in FXCM TS II. Normally, we set price alert and it will alerts traders either by e-mail, message or sound. Does FXCM plan to introduce feature to alert traders by using SMS (probably subscription with minimum fee, like prepaid version $0.01 per SMS)?

cheers

are there any plans to make Strategy trader more usable for manual trading? I think it's a very nice platform and the charting is so much better than TS2, I like it a lot more but I could definitely have the use for a stop loss. Im no programmer but I think that couldn't be so hard to implement?

Today received a letter from FXCM:
Good Day, Thank you for being a valued client of FXCM Ltd. IMPORTANT NOTICE: FXCM Ltd has not received your missing documentation. If your account is not completed in 5 business days, your account will be suspended from trading. Please note that all missing documentation must be submitted and processed within the next 5 business days in order to avoid disruption in trading or delays in processing withdrawal requests. If FXCM Ltd does not receive the missing documentation within 5 business days of this notification, we reserve the right to return funds to their original funding source, close out any open positions and lock your account from trading.**In order to expedite processing, all items must be submitted to FXCM Ltd using this coversheet.**

Why now? If I remmeber I send scan pasport and card file. This always problem when company so BIG they don`t care about customer because one customer more or less is not important.
How you see I invest 300 $ and trade from 6.10.2011 While I was sitting in red everything was in ok.
Why they take money if dokumentation not ok??? Very surprised about this because I come very close to my first profit...
Jason shame on FXCM who threatens to with account bloking. All have spent the time, nerves, money useless

Mates! Recommend a good broker in the world?????

Hi zam,

There are a couple different options for this. The first option is to use the price alerts through DailyFX http://www.dailyfx.com/charts/mobile_price_alerts/. I believe it uses email-to-sms functionality which will work in the US but not may not work for all other countries depending on what the carrier allows.

There is also a price alert strategy you can set in the Trading Station desktop through the Marketscope chart. Again this alert is by email, which you can then have directed to text if you know the email to sms settings for your mobile device. First, fill out the email settings in Marketscope by clicking on File > Options > Strategy Options. Then you need to add the price alert strategy to the chart in order for it to run. Your the charts will need to be running in order for the alert to work, so don't close the charts or platform. There's a more detailed step by step guide on setting it all up here http://forexforums.dailyfx.com/fxcm-...tml#post609287

Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any questions.

Jason

Hi roughtrader,

No plans for updates to the Strategy Trader platform for manual trading at the moment since we designed it primarily for automated trading. Your best bet would be to code a tool which would run on Strategy Trader or check in the advisors, indicators, and functions list to see if someone else has already created one http://forexforums.dailyfx.com/codin...ns/index8.html.

Otherwise you would need to set stops and limits as entry orders on Strategy Trader, or place the Stop and Limit through the Trading Station Desktop. Both platforms can be accessed with the same login.

Thank you for submitting the FXCM LTD Trading Agreement for a Micro account. This is an automated e-mail notification to advise that your Proof of Residence document has been received and application is complete.

I believe that the threatened closure of the account was a mistake. Recommend that staff send a communications courses. Many agreed with me that such situations can be dealt with differently.

Richards Farleigh says the correct advertisement: If you think that broker business run out of the exuses call us now. ( http://h2omarkets.co.uk/richard-farleigh )

Jason,
Does my tradestation be open for me to receive a price alert I set to be sent to my phone?
If the tradestation has to be open, will it close or lockup if not active for several hours?

Hi Dcb,

Yes, your Trading Station needs to be open to receive mobile price alerts. It should remain open as long as your computer is still actively running.

For that reason, a great option for you is the online price alerts at DailyFX.com: http://www.dailyfx.com/charts/mobile_price_alerts/. Just register for a free account and you are ready to go!

The DailyFX.com price alerts take about 5 minutes to setup but I use them all the time and they are easy to use!

Good trading,

Jason,
Thank you for your response. I do use the mobile price alert on the Daily FX, but I was not sure if they would work if I had my tradestation closed. I am trying to not sit in front of my computer, but use the price alerts to tell me when I should be present at my computer.

Hi Dcb,

Do you trade with entry orders? For me, I use price alerts to tell me when my orders trigger. However you use them, let me know how the DailyFX Price Alerts are working out.

Hi Jason, trust you are well??

I am a micro account holder and have the following three questions for you:

1) I cannot withdraw via credit card, even though deposit was made by this channel. Why?
2) How can I check what leverage my platform is set at?
3) How can I change the server time ( so that the candles/charts that I see agree to my American friends that are on NY time )

Thanks, warm regards
