Hi NoJobRob,

I think it would be awesome if we had complete flexibility in terms of where to put different windows. For instance, being able to drag and drop a chart from MarketScope onto the main window where the dealing rates and account information are, and being able to drag and drop the dealing rates onto the MarketScope window. I realize we can drag and drop anything anywhere, but when we do that whatever we move becomes a stand-alone window. I would prefer them to be integrated into whatever window (main window or MarketScope) they are being dragged to,...

Thank you for the suggestions, I have forwarded them to the developers.

Also, I would like to be able to open more than one instance of MarketScope. For people with multiple monitors it'd be handy, that way everything is grouped into one window instead of having everything be it's own window (which requires constant readjustment because they become misaligned).

This ability will be added in the future releases.

This is something the developers are also exploring. Unfortunately, I don't have more details at this time.

{quote} My pleasure Zam. Investor logins are available for accounts that are managed by a money manager or trading agent (not for the money manager, but for their clients). Individual accounts receive one trading login without an investor login. Like the withdrawal feedback, I'll pass this request to management as well. Cheers. - Jason

Hi Hayseed,

Yes, you can set your MT4 investor password with the following steps.

1. Open MT4 and log into your Trading Account

and this feature can be used for many purposes. But, IIRC, this feature is unavailable in FXCM Trading Station and Active Trader, except FXCM MT4 account. So, is it possible if similar feature introduced in FXCM TS II and AT platform? cheers

So there is no point to have USDollar in "real time"...looking at chart can be done at the end of the day......just to look Daily chart ...at the end of the day...

Hi Jason,

Recently, I noticed that my FXCM MT4 trader would sometimes prevent me from entering a trade order (live or demo accounts),
The SELL and BUY buttons on the dialog box are disabled (grayed and no response) by the software. Is this caused by your system ?
How can I fix it ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Hayseed,

My apologies for misunderstanding your original question. As I mentioned to Zam when he initially posed this question, investor logins on Trading Station are currently available to clients who have their accounts managed for them by someone else. Did you need an investor password for a managed account, or was there another reason you wanted an investor password? This information will help me in explaining your request to our developers.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi David,

I checked with our tech support staff, and there have been no other reports of the sell and buy buttons on the MT4 order window being grayed out. My first thought was that perhaps you were trying to trade a CFD outside of trading hours, but I notice from your forum profile that you live in the US where CFD trading is not available. What currency pair were you trying to trade? Also, I'm wondering if this might be a connection issue. Do you use a wireless modem?

Hi Mima,

Pricing for the Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index (ticker: USDollar) is computed in real-time. While there is no delay in the data being used, the volatility of the index is only going to be a fraction of what you see in the currencies that make up the index basket. You'll notice a similar phenomenon when comparing the Dow Jones Industrial Average to one of the Dow component stocks. USDollar is primarily used as a range trading tool, so the lower volatility can be advantageous.

Hi Beesband,

I spoke with the developers about your request. At this time they're reluctant to add a store password option on Trading Station Desktop or Trading Station Web for security reasons.

Hi Remi,

Below is a table of the typical spreads for the three account types we offer.

However, the best way to view our live NDD spreads is with a free demo account. I notice your forum profile mentions that you live in the UK. In that case, you might want to try a spread betting demo. It's important to note that, as with trading in any financial market, your capital is at risk when spread betting forex or CFDs.

Hi Aubin,

It's possible to view 5-minute charts on Trading Station going back over 10 years. You can do this by following the steps below:

1. Go to "File > Create Chart" in the Marketscope menu bar


http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/8683/nw3.png


2. Change the "Show Data Range" field to "Other"

3. Specify the "Date from" and "Date to" fields


http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/5320/rbp8.png


In addition to the steps above, I think it would be good if you had our tech support team check your charts to make sure you have access to all the historical data that should be available to you on the platform. If you'd like me to arrange a follow up call for you with one of our tech specialists, please send me a private message with your contact details.
