ATTENTION REGULATORS OF FXCM....Please consider reducing your $2,000 minimum for lots of us who would love to either open a new MT4 account or transfer our $1,999 and lower balances. I mean..come on man!

Hi nsumrein,

From what I understand, MT4's MACD indicators only show the signal and MACD lines. The histogram that you see actually represents the MACD "line". Should you wish to use a chart that includes the MACD histrogram, you can use any of our free charting packages including the Marketscope charts which come integrated with the FX Trading Station. Here is a snap shot:

Yes, MT4 accounts are offered as mini accounts where the minimum deal size is 10K base currency units. The defaults leverage is 200:1 where by the margin setting is 0.5%, and the currency pairs offered are the same as that of the regular FXCM Trading Station minis with the exception of TRY and ZAR pairs.

Thank you for your feedback. The account opening minimum was raised to $5,000 with the official launch of the MetaTrader platform.

The $5,000 minimum is set to better position clients from a risk management standpoint when deploying various systems via the Expert Advisor function where the minimum deal size is 10K currency units.

Clients who wish to open with less than $5,000 can open a regular mini or micro account and take advantage of our FXCM Trading Station which offers transparent rolls, one-click execution, partial fills and allows you to trade straight from the charts.

If you are interested in automated trading systems, our Forex System Selector platform is a great alternative. For more information you can visit:

There is no such restriction. You can place stop loss, take profit (limit), and entry orders where you like. Stops loss and take profit orders can be as little as 1 pip away from the current market price.

When is the offering of Demo accounts to occur.............???

Dear FXCM moderator,

How can I mimic the Bollinger squeeze with CCI found on MT4, but would like to do that on my FXCM platform?

Thanks!

I'm a bit dissappointed that FXCM raised the deposit minimum for the reason given above with respect to "expert advisors". I for one will not be using this feature and don't feel this is fair. I've demoed with MT4 for a year now, and to have to change to a new platform ...even if for just a short while... will be a bit of a disadvantage to begin with.

Now I have to go through the hassle of having two platforms open at the same time... FXCM's platform to place the actual trades which will be signaled by my MT4 custom indicators on a demo account somewhere else ...until I raise my $2k balance up to $5K!

Then eventually I'll have to go through the process of transfering it to FXCM's MT4 account....arrgh!

The only reason I have to go this route is due to the BC Securities Commision here in BC Canada, which limits the brokers I have available to me...and of those, none have MT4. So I feel like I'm between a rock & a hard place!

Oh, I don't understand the money management rationale of requiring a higher deposit for MT4's automated programs vs FXCM's automated programs...????

Thanks for letting me rant....LOL

Sweet Pip,

I agree with you 100%, I am in the same situation, just a big hastle to have two platforms open at the same time. FXCM should certainly reconsider, and lower the amount needed for a MT4 mini account

I just got FXCM MT5 running today to discover that quotes are to 5 digits (1.28253) EURUSD. My EA was needing 4 digits to place orders correctly. It is running well with FXDD.

Can FXCM quote me 4 digits in any way? I am still working through my EA script. I may need programming assistance.

Great question.

Fractional pip pricing is offered to allow potentially tighter spreads and greater precision. EAs currently recognize the last pip as a whole pip. On our platform your EA will need to recognize the 4th pip as a whole pip and the 5th pip as a fraction of a pip.

To do this, simply change any value that is measured in pips by a multiple of 10. As an example, if the stop loss in pips is coded as 30, then the stop loss in pips would be changed to 300 to accommodate for fractional pricing.

I hope this clarifies things. If anyone else has any input on this from direct experience, feel free to chime in.

Thanks Mod, that's exactly what I did--add a zero to applicable settings. The EA worked as expected in Strategy Testing--HOWEVER, in running live, some positions opened late missing price targets.

To add injury to draw-down, I kept getting a Journal Message saying "Trade context is busy" when I want to close positions manually.

This has been an expensive discovery since an MT4 demo is not offered by FXCM.

I'm glad you bring this up.

This is an error message associated with Metatrader which may stem from the fact that the platform is primarily structured for dealing desk execution.

With Metatrader being a 3rd party program there are certain limitations and we have no way of coding around the issue.

The solution to the message, “Trade Context is Busy”, is to simply log out and log back in. This message typically occurs whenever you click on the cancel button as the order is in process. Clicking on "Cancel" will NOT cancel the order.

Should you have specific trade inquiries, we do have a 24 hour trade audit team here to investigate transactions in detail. Feel free forward details to metatrader@fxcm.com or contact our client services desk via the numbers listed on our contact page: Contact FXCM
