{quote} Yep why expect any programming coming out that will do us customers any good at all. They still refuse to get the basics right. Come on Jason - FXSCAM is being plastered all around different forums for not displaying the correct bid/ask lines on their charts. It is not doing the company you work for any good. Let the management know that the programmers are failing the company. Do they have any further comments explaining where they are up to on correcting this. scalpz

{quote} Not to mention how this affects our Expert Advisors !!! In this video you see that the EA closes the trade with the incorrect Spread as the MT4 shows. !!! The spread indicator shows 0.3 pips but the bid ask on the platform was around 0.8 during the video ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xWP...ature=youtu.be A public client mockery, if you also read on their website this: {image}

{quote} Is hard to see the problem just from the video, but I know the problems that the fxscam implementation of mt4 can cause. I don't run any of my ea's on their servers.

Did you noticed that the quote for DAX ... GER30 is 5 digits and nothing behind the comma on the real server ...and 5 digits + 2 decimals on the demo FXCM server? Just to annoy the clients a bit ??????

{quote} The extra two digits past the decimal point that you see on your demo for GER30 (DAX) allow for more accurate pricing and open up the possibility for tighter spreads on CFD trades. This is similar to how forex prices used to be quoted to the pip (4 digits after the decimal) but are now quoted to the tenth of a pip (5 digits past the decimal). Decimalized pricing for CFDs is currently being tested on our demos, but the plan is to eventually roll it out to live accounts once testing is complete.

{quote} That's not greedy. They are trying to raise capital. With moves like that pulled on you, coupled with catering for the lowest of trading volumes, and nowadays offering 2,5% interest rates for accounts over $50K. Ponzi Scheme style . The bill is due for FXCM. Leucadia lent $300 million to FXCM after the company was on the verge of bankruptcy following the surprise move from the Swiss National Bank in January. In April, FXCM was looking to sell "non-core" assets (WTF???) to pay back the debt. Their non-core assets are exactly ZERO. Leucadia's...

{quote} Yes, heard that before Jason...it was "mid-August" last time. Really, how difficult is it to draw two lines on a chart based on bid/ask prices that are already being fed to MT4? Makes me wonder if it's to FXCM's advantage to have inaccurate prices showing.
