Still no accurate bid/ask levels on charts from FXCM UK. Do they really not want our business? Is it August now for a 'solution' Jason?

why don't UK based accounts get interest on usable margin?
Hi Pertti,

That option is only available with FXCM Markets accounts which allow clients to earn 5% fixed APR on non-invested funds up to $50K: http://bit.ly/1n4mZc4

Hi Philtre,

This month we began internally testing a solution to update the charts on MT4 to reflect our raw FX spreads. If all goes well with this testing, we hope to update the MT4 charts mid-July. I will post more updates here in this thread as I get them.

FXCM has an ugly policy about history data. If you are rich enough to open a +10.000$ account, you get free 5 year history data. If your account is smaller ...than you have to do with only 1 month of history (on 5 min chart). The question is not that history data are expensive, LOL. But FXCM apparently want to privilege richer people by giving them a present. And when you can afford only a 5000$ account ... well than you have bad luck ! No Back Testing for you !

Hi Bob,

Not only can you switch your account to our No Dealing Desk (NDD) forex execution, but if you are scalping, then NDD is preferable, not only for you, but for us as well. I discussed this in an earlier post: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...57#post8306457

Hi CatMan,

I believe you're referring to how the history only goes back 30 days on our MT4 platform. We do this to optimize the performance of our MT4 servers, because MT4 can be more resource intensive than other platforms.

It's worth noting that on Trading Station or NinjaTrader, you can access your full history. Your MT4 login details will even work on Trading Station, so you can access your account information and trade from either platform. If there's a particular reason you need the data on MT4 specifically, please send me a private message with your name and email address as we have them on file for your account. I'll see if my colleagues have another solution for you.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Olsen-yersen,

I'm not familiar with that platform personally, but I checked on the Neuroshell website for you. This is what they say: "If you have an FXCM account, you can use data directly from that account in NeuroShell Trader 6.4 or higher. You can also send trades directly from NeuroShell Trader to your FXCM account, so you have the option of automatically executing trades if you choose."

If you have more questions about how to use their platform to execute trades on your FXCM account, Neuroshell has a page on their website where you can contact their customer support.

I have a quick question with my MT4 platform on FXCM. My current time is about 625 PM Pacific Standard Time but my charts show up with about 425 AM and I am confused why my charts are showing up with a eastern european time zone. Can you explain why this is occuring and how i can fix it. I am assuming because I am in the USA, I would need my charts to reflect the timezone New York City is in.

new margin rates..... should be no surprise....
//----

http://www.dailyfx.com/forex_forum/f...cm-llc-us.html

//-----
from the email....
Note: Monitor usable margin closely, making sure it stays above zero. We recommend a usable margin thats at least 80% of your account equity (usable margin plus used margin).

//-----

80% is choking up pretty high on the bat.....

to each his own, but i'd say triple that '80%' at the minimum..... my typical margin level is between 250% and 500%.....

but again, to each his own.....h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h
