I am sick and tired of FXCM freezing the platform even at minimal volatility; even when I am winning is a displeasure to trade.
Have you tried to contact their support? I use both Hotforex and FXCM and satisfied.

FXCM is the worst out there...
The amount of requotes you even get on a FXCM demo is out of this world.

Pip by pip they are stealing from traders.
I do not understand why the regulators have not launched an investigation against FXCM for this outrageous dirty play.
Just imagine the amount of pips they are stealing from their clients daily by the requotes....

{quote} I don't think that brokers "freeze" platforms, probably you don't have a strong computer or you just use indicators bad-coded that eat up all your ram and/or cpu and during high volatility of course mt4 will freeze or crash. Nothing to do with the broker.

{quote} Thank you for your reply. So far you seem to be right. There is the probability that couple days from now it would start to freeze again. I would check to see if that is the pattern.

{quote} I have some very demanding indicators (like they take 2gb of ram and a lot of cpu), however my computer is pretty good.. Now, from when this windows 10 come, my mt4 started to freeze in them and crash too! I still don't know if it's windows 10 or the updated mt4,but i feel your pain. Hopefully one day they will fix this issue.

By the way, i found the solution to my mt4 crash/freeze/highmemorydrainage problems. Quite simply, go to tools>options>charts and set max bars to chart to a small number, like 5000 bars. That's it, now everything become smooth and fast, no more freeze/crashes.
Hi H4xforum,

You and I have discussed this before: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...31#post8313531

I'm glad you are more receptive to hearing suggestions from Tunera, because he makes some great points. As you said yourself, you have encountered issues on MT4 even at times of low volatility. It's important to understand the limitations of the platform and possibly even in the indicators or EAs you are running on it. Perhaps your code needs to be optimized, or you may have better results running your strategies via Trading Station or an API: http://bit.ly/1SyasIl

Hi Cobra,

Your comments about requotes with FXCM are unfounded. First, there are no requotes with FXCM. Second, you are trading on a demo account. Even brokers that requote their clients on live accounts wouldn't requote demo traders.

As I explained to you previously, the "Off quotes" message you get is a good thing. It means the price available in the market is outside of the Maximum Deviation range you specified for the order, and so it was canceled to protect you from unwanted negative slippage: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...48#post8497348

It's good you are learning this lesson on a demo. If you want to reduce your frequency of "Off quotes" messages, you can increase your Maximum Deviation setting. It's that simple, and the benefit is that, unlike with other brokers, FXCM gives you control by letting you choose how much negative slippage you are willing to accept.

Note that our Maximum Deviation feature only limits your negative slippage, not your positive slippage. It's one of the reasons why FXCM clients receive positive slippage more than negative slippage overall: http://bit.ly/1KWaV8g
