Hi Forex Lion,

Good question.

There are a number of tools* on this forum that allow MT4 users to trade from their charts.

 

  1. Orders, take profit and SL directly from you MT4 chart
  2. MT4 - Trade from the chart

Oh, thank you !
I haven't been using mt4 for manual trading for years so I'm not really up to date with the latest developments .... I thought it was some kind of add-on script.

Hi fido,



Good to hear!



Earlier this month Metaquotes released build 482 for the client side. The headliner of the update is the 'one-click trading' feature arriving to Metatrader 4.

You can activate it by pressing ALT+T or clicking the pointer in the top-left of chart window.

Hi. One question.

Hi Toranga,

There is a fixed margin for each CFD product. The margin amount is based on one contract. Please refer to our contract specifications for margin requirements.

Example:

UK100 the margin requirement is GBP400 for 1 contract.
For a volume of 0.1 UK100 the margin would be GBP40.

I hope freezing with Alpari will diminish eventually, I used to trade with FxPro, but they don't have MT5, however, there were not so many freezes as with Alpari. I am not scalper so my trades were fine. For whoever is concerned about freezings, i attach a Freezeloger indicator for MT5, you can change the number of seconds counted from the last price movement before alarm goes on, i suggest indi goes to high volatility currency pair such as GBPJPY and number of seconds set to about 30. Indi alarms and writes log for.

Hi Alexander, I currently trade on your MT4 platform but have recently been running your MT5 ECN demo alongside. I use tick volume primarily in my strategy and noticed a huge volume spike at around 8am yesterday - this has had the effect of rendering mt5 useless to me this morning as the volume has re-scaled due to the one errant bar yesterday.

Picture of the issue: http://charts.mql5.com/1/226/gbpusd-...ari-uk-ltd.png
Is this related to the freeze you experienced on the platform and is anything being done to address these issues?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Jonny5,

The 'GBP Gross Domestic Product (QoQ)' event was scheduled for 9:30 GMT yesterday and there possibly was an increased interest in the pair prior to the event.

Gold and silver traders to get tighter spreads with smaller price increment

Small market movements matter. That’s why on Monday, 8 April 2013, we’re changing the minimum gold and silver price increment from 1 US cent to 0.1 US cent (USD0.010 to USD0.001) on the MetaTrader 4 platform. This way you can benefit from smaller price moves quicker while at the same time receiving tighter spreads, better execution and more price updates.

What does this mean?

This means that the minimum price increment for gold (XAUUSD) and silver (XAGUSD) will be USD0.001. For example, after the change, the XAUUSD price movement would be 1603.201, 1603.202, 1603.203 etc.

Please be aware that if you want to match exact instant execution price, you may experience re-quotes. Therefore we’d advise you to set up deviation in your trading platform to 50 when trading gold or silver.

http://www.alpari.co.uk/media/679701...on_498x265.jpg

What about profit and loss calculation?

Profit and loss will be calculated using standard math rounding. For example, if your profit or loss from a trade is 3.1 US cents, it will be rounded down to 3.0 US cents. If your profit or loss is 3.5 US cents, it will be rounded up to 4.0 cents.

Need more help?

If you have more questions, please feel free to contact our Client Services team by phone +44 20 7426 2900 (07:00-22:00 UK time, Monday-Friday) or email [email protected].

Absolutely normal. That empty space is spread. If candle high is, at first example, 1.2821 and your stop was 1.2823 then it will take you out because you need always consider adding spread to candle top.
