DislikedFunny to hear the same complaints over and over about metatrader. Puzzling to imagine why brokers prefer to spend money on tech support, royalties, etc than compete with metatrader. FXCM a multimillion dollar company claiming to be the number one in America and still having to depend on those "vodka heads" a** holes coders from Russia. All FXCM ( or any broker out there) has to do is to design an easy way to code indicators. THAS IT !! People would flood their virtual gates. Metatrader still exists, and maybe ONLY still exists because a guy called...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hi Hatzius, Did you designate Trade Interceptor as the introducing broker on your account application? If so, then you should be able to contact them for details regarding the security features of their app to decide whether you want to use it for your trading.Ignored
Disliked{quote} TradingStation II/Marketscope is ok for some users, but no for all of us. There is a big problem in Marketscope: You can't interact with objects in the chart created by its own tools. You can't write code to perform simple tasks as resize a rectangle or enhance the Andrew's Pitchfork tool. With annoying limitations like these, it is truly difficult to choose TradingStation II/Marketscope over MT4. There are things that I like about Marketscope, but at the end I want to have the ability to perform my analysis and then to place my trades without...Ignored

DislikedAll FXCM ( or any broker out there) has to do is to design an easy way to code indicators. THAS IT !! People would flood their virtual gates. Metatrader still exists, and maybe ONLY still exists because a guy called CODERS GURU once decided to write a decent tutorial on how to code MQL4. Lots of people learned it and you can find any possible imaginable EA and indicator out there. Now why brokers don't give some beer and pot to some coder. To code something easy, so people can code their own indicators is beyond me!!!!!Ignored

Disliked{quote} Thats what I'm saying. They would have to come up with something relatively easy so most people that want can learn and code.Ignored
Disliked{quote} I use them both. When it comes to tradestation mobile, let me tell you that I don't remember a single time where I were able to generate a trade idea based on it. You cannot modify macd, adding more than two indicators makes everything blurry, etc. At least, I'm able to check up on my running positions and get in or out based on tape action (with good latency in my experience). This is another point - improve your mobile platform (everybody has a smartphone).Ignored
Disliked{quote} Thanks, Jason! I already have an account with Fxcm and was wondering if using their app, by providing them my full info, will be in conflict with how you guarantee the security of my account. Quick question: if I don't open a new account through them, will that be free as their demo does? If you don't have time to answer, maybe someone already using them may enlighten me.Ignored

Disliked{quote} Different traders have different needs. That's why, in addition to MT4, we provide our clients with other platform options for coding indicators and automated strategies such as Trading Station and NinjaTrader which use the Lua and C# programming languages respectively. There are even forums like FxProgrammers.com and FxCodeBase.com where programmers share their knowledge about coding for these platforms. Those who require further assistance in writing code can get such help from our Programming Services department: http://bit.ly/1pmnWsB...Ignored

Dislikedtunera, the same problem on my FXCM MT4 since Sunday Opening. The spread changes quickly between low numbers and high numbers as one can see from tunera's chart. The spread on TS is o.k., the problem is only on MT4. Please Jason comment on this.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Well, Jason, there is another issue, and it's very important. Marketscope has a limit of 15000 bars per timeframe. I usually perform analysis in m1 charts and in some pairs I have m1 data available since 2007. Of course, it's mt4 and another broker. I can't do that with marketscope and FXCM. I know theree is an API to retrieve historical data and an app (which I now have) that let us download data, but you can't use it in Marketscope. So, what's the point in having a platform that makes users look for solutions/answers in data from other...Ignored
Disliked{quote} LOL !! See how you guys can't get it!! Metatrader became what it is because a guy called coders guru wrote a understandable tutorial so the regular guy could do it. The regular guy will not go through a 500 page C# book to learn how to code indicators for your flipping platform. They need either a simple tutorial as coder guru did. Or if C# is too complex for a simple tutorial people need a visual interface, or something relatively simple to the lay man to do it. The first platform that manages to get their head out of their butts and come...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Hi Hatzius, I followed up with our introducing broker department regarding your question about Trade Interceptor. They advised me that while many traders do use their platform to trade FXCM accounts, you are entrusting your account details with a third party whenever you use their platform to access your account. This is something you must take into account when using a third party platform provider. I encourage you to read through their risk disclosures and ask them about what security steps they take to protect your information before...Ignored
