I have a little account @ fxcm, but I forgot my username and my password long time ago. Now I get emails about margin changes. Should I worry or take action?
Dont worry about a little deposit. FCXM is fine. So is your your little account.

Jason, I'm attaching a screenshot of the Real Directional Volume (net) and a transposed histogram (made manually) of the SSI (net change). As we discussed, there is a few reasons why these two don't correlate. I can't seem to get my mind around the possible scenarios where there might be an edge using the two together. Perhaps you can take a look at the screenshot and make some commentary about any bars of interest based on the deviations of these net numbers.

Furthermore, I would like to know if possible in the future there might be another SSI indicator that allowed for histogram (with a net mode too). Not sure how much could be gained, perhaps allot, perhaps nothing. Out of the these two indicators, which one do you feel is the most "interesting" to watch? Do you think there is any value with monitoring the net change in SSI vs watching the total SSI values as they reach certain levels?

Thanks

Justin

FYI the purple SSI histogram is net change multiplied by a constant magnification factor so I could view it easily.

I am having trouble with my Marketscope 2.0 charts today. I keep receiving a message "Failed to load the chart". I have a 4-window chart setup including H8, H1, M15 and M5. The M15 and M5 charts are fine but the H8 and H1 are not loading. Any ideas?

Does this take effekt for EA's two ?
Yes, the Maximum Deviation feature on our MT4 platform gives you the power to control the amount of negative slippage you are willing to accept both on orders you place manually and on orders placed by your EAs, while still giving you the ability to receive the full benefits of possible slippage.

That's a shame, but it's good you're able to learn this lesson about how to use the Maximum Deviation feature to your advantage on a demo account, instead of on a real MT4 account.

Has anyone else had issues with FXCM MT4 today? - on 6 occasions I have got the message 'market is closed' when trying to modify a trade - e.g. move a stop. Yet it would let me close out trades.

Hi KillerWhale,

If you are no longer trading your account, there is no need to concern yourself with the margin change emails. We send those out every few months to update clients regarding the latest margin requirements. This is done to account for any exchange rate fluctuations between the currency of your trading account and any particular currency pair you are trading. For example, if your trading account is denominated in USD, and you are trading GBP/JPY, then your margin requirement for trading that pair in US dollar terms would go up if the GBP/USD exchange rate rises. However, if the GBP/USD exchange rate falls, then so would your margin requirement to trade GBP/JPY, since GBP is the base currency of that pair.

Whether you wish to resume trading your account, or want to close it, it would be good for you to visit MyFXCM.com and click on Forgot Login/Password to reset your login details. That way you can either deposit funds to resume trading or withdraw any remaining funds to close your account, as you prefer.

Hi Everyone,

I apologize for this issue you're facing with the Marketscope charts. It's a known issue on our end the developers are currently working to fix.

Our tech support team advised me of a workaround you can use until we have implemented a permanent solution: "The issue with charts not loading in Marketscope only occurs when you open a layout inside Marketscope. Adjusting the period of the chart (for example from H1 to m5) allows the chart to load. You can then change it back to the original time period/time frame you want."

I've been getting the "Failed to load the chart" since the market has opened this year and I've been testing from 3 different vps providers and all are experiencing the same issue.

The problem is seen with both demo and real accounts.

Trading station won't load up charts, have to take it off of eur/usd (example) and load another pair then go back and load eur/usd, so much for saving profiles
