I figure I'll post this here before I pass out. I was up late trading Brexit and I gotta say, FXCM was on point. Every order executed just fine, Trading Station 2 stayed smooth, and the data feed was stable the entire time. Y'alls services were stellar last night - for what it's worth. Now I need sleep. Very badly. Good morni- night? ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Get some rest and have a great weekend! I suspect there will be ample volatility for weeks to come: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...32#post8998732

http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...d.php?p=464904 I've been trying to get this fixed for over 6 months are you allowed to post at NinjaTrader
I don't post on the NinjaTrader forum, since I'm not an expert on their platform personally, and their staff responds to questions posted there. However, I just asked one of my colleagues in our tech support team about your problem, and he suggested the following:
"tell them to try this. Reset instrument panel. Tools menu, select the Options menu item, select the Data tab, and then click on 'Reset Instruments'."
Please let me know if that works for you. If so, we can share that solution with NinjaTrader.
Welcome to the forum!

FXCM Updates Margin Requirements Post British Referendum
Hi Everyone,
We have begun to reduce margin requirements on select instruments back to pre-British referendum levels and will continue to do so gradually based on market conditions.
For the most up-to-date margin requirements that apply to your account, please look at the minimum margin requirement (MMR) column of the Simple Dealing Rates window on your Trading Station. If you use Mirror Trader, MT4 or NinjaTrader, your account login details will give you access to all three versions of Trading Station (desktop, web and mobile) to check your MMR.
Your exact MMR will depend on your trading entity (FXCM US, UK or Australia), account denomination (USD, GBP, AUD, etc.) and whether you have a Mini or Standard account. The screenshot above is from my Standard US dollar-denominated FXCM US account. My MMR for GBP/USD is 96.00, which means I have to set aside $96 as used margin (Usd Mr) for each micro lot (1K) position I have open.
Carefully consider how margin changes may impact your open positions and resting orders.
Please Note: In case market conditions become very volatile, we could raise margin requirements further. Please monitor your usable margin (Usbl Mr) closely, making sure it stays above zero. We recommend a usable margin that's at least 80% of your account equity (usable margin plus used margin).
Remember that forex trading can result in losses that could exceed your deposited funds and therefore may not be suitable for everyone, so please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved.

Thank you for the details Jason...OM
You might be interested to know our Trading Station platform has order features similar to Maximum Deviation called Market Range and Range Entry. Like Max Dev, Market Range limits your negative slippage, but not your positive slippage, on Market Orders.
Inserted Video
Range Entry does the same thing but for Entry Orders (Stop Orders*). In this earlier post, I show an example of how to use the Range Entry feature: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...22#post8552322
There is no counterpart to Range Entry on MT4. If you want to try these Trading Station order features, it's worth noting your FXCM MT4 account login will also work on all three versions of Trading Station (Desktop, Web and Mobile).
* For risk management purposes it's best to use this Range Entry feature only for opening new positions with stop orders (AKA Stop Entry orders) and not for closing existing positions with stop orders (AKA Stop Loss orders). The reason is because, from a risk management standpoint, negative slippage on a Stop Loss order is preferable to a trade remaining and potentially losing even more money.

Hi Jason,
Not much of an issue but I figure this is a place to post anything "buggy" about Trading Station. Since the last software update, the "Net Long/Short" tabs on charts aren't updating. It's not a big deal or anything but it's a feature that has since stopped working so, I figured you'd wanna know about that kinda stuff.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've asked our tech support team to investigate this issue you reported. In the meantime, I've found I can get my Net Short position P/L pip counter to update by going to View > Refresh on my Trading Station window.
