Hi Everyone,
FXCM has released a new MT4 platform which is integrated seamlessly into our No Dealing Desk forex execution without the need for a 3rd party bridge. The new integration is designed to provide faster execution, since it doesn't use a 3rd party bridge, while making it an easier platform to use with our No Dealing Desk forex execution since there are no longer any auto account syncs, partial closing is now available, ability to add stop/limit while placing the order, and more. The new setup can be tested on a demo found through FXCM.com, and live accounts will be transitioned over to the new setup in the weeks ahead. The MT4 platform will need to be re-installed on your computer from FXCM's website in order to ensure you have the newest platform. We would appreciate any feedback or comments you have about the new setup! Jason |

This sounds interesting but if it is MT4 and it is not a dealing desk doesn't some type of bridge have to be used to connect to the liquidity source? What bridge would u be using now?

Hi forexproptrader, FXCM's in-house developers have updated the integration between Metatrader4 and our NDD forex execution that eliminates the need for a 3rd party bridge, so the integration has become seamless and complete within FXCM. Orders are now sent directly to FXCM through our integration which means faster execution. -Jason |

If you're using FXCM's new MT4, you can now use the MT4 username and password to login to the Trading Station Desktop, Trading Station Web, and iPad platforms. The login is backwards compatible with the other platforms so you can login and manually trade.
There are a couple things to keep in mind if using your MT4 account to login to the Trading Station platforms such as: 1. Trailing Stops: If you have a trailing stop on the MT4 platform, it will not appear in the Trading Station platform due to differences in trailing stop logic between the platforms. Trailing stops are still available, but they need to be utilized from the MT4 platform. 2. 'In Pips' Orders: Trading Station allows you to set Stop and Limit orders by distance 'in pips' from the current market price when creating a market order and entry order. MT4 does not support this advanced order type, so the functionality in Trading Station when logging in with your MT4 account is not be available. 3. OCO Orders are not available in Trading Station for MT4 accounts due to limitations within MT4. |

Hi everyone,
This week we launched the FXCM App Store, starting out with around 40 apps for MT4 including scripts, Expert Advisors, and stand-alone apps. This is just the beginning, and we plan to release more apps in the coming months for MT4, Trading Station, and possibly other platforms. Below are 3 apps you can test for free, and there are more on the website. If you have suggestions for additional apps, please do let me know, and I will ask the programming services team if they can be added to the website. *** DailyFX PLUS Trading Signals—Breakout2 (Expert Advisor) Those of you that use DailyFX PLUS will likely have heard of Breakout2. You can now automate the strategy to run on MT4 rather than having to visit the website to check for updates and then manually place trades on your platform. Breakout 2 is one of the six strategies in the “classic” DailyFX signals. It’s designed to perform best in market conditions where price is likely to move through an identified support or resistance level. When this happens, trading volume and price volatility often increase. Breakout2 attempts to capitalize on these increases by recommending to buy or sell in the direction of the breakout. We will likely release more of the DailyFX PLUS strategies for MT4 automation, so stay tuned. - Click here to download Breakout 2 for FXCM MT4: http://www.fxcmapps.com/metatrader-4/dailyfx-plus-trading-signals-breakout2/ *** Trend Identifier (Indicator) This indicator is pretty self-explanatory, and it incorporates the Aroon indicator for trend identification. The indicator displays two lines: “Aroon up,” which measures the strength of the uptrend, and “Aroon down,” which measures the strength of the downtrend. Both lines fluctuate between values of zero and 100, with values near zero representing a weak trend and values near 100 representing a strong trend.  - Click here to download Trend Identifier for FXCM MT4: http://www.fxcmapps.com/metatrader-4/trend-identifier/ *** Quick Buy (Script) This app lets you open trades on MT4 in one click similar to how one-click trading works on the Trading Station desktop platform. You can even pre-set your stop-loss and take-profit levels. - Click here to download Quick Buy for FXCM MT4: http://www.fxcmapps.com/metatrader-4/quick-buy/ |

Hi everyone,
Those of you who have an MT4 demo with FXCM will be getting an email about this, but I wanted to give everyone on the forum a heads up. Due to a server upgrade this weekend, all current MT4 demos on the FXCM MT4 platform will expire this coming Sunday, April 15th. Past trading history of those demos will not be saved. Please take appropriate measures to save any necessary data. You can create a new demo after April 15th. Why is this necessary? FXCM recently rebuilt the backend of our MT4 platform from the ground up. Now our No Dealing Desk forex execution is seamlessly integrated and auto syncs have been eliminated. We have also integrated functionality for MT4 accounts to work with the MT4 mobile and Trading Station mobile platforms. In order or put through the ability for demos to login to Trading Station and the mobile apps, the old demos have to go unfortunately. I know that this is an inconvenience for everyone using a current MT4 demo with us, but I hope you will like all the new changes that will come with the new demos. Jason |

Hi Everyone,
Due to the Golden Week holidays in Japan, all Yen crosses will have 5 days’ worth of rollover interest today except for GBP/JPY which will have 6 days’ worth. For example, that means if you buy 10k of GBP/JPY and keep the trade open through 5pm New York time today, you will earn $0.66 or 66 cents. On the flip side, if you sell 10k of GBP/JPY and hold that trade open through 5pm, you will pay $1.56. You can always check what amount of rollover you can earn or pay for holding a particular currency pair through 5pm by looking at the RollS and RollB on the Trading Station.  And to keep track of when holidays will affect the number of days of rollover, you can look at the Rollover Calendar at DailyFX.com: www.dailyfx.com/calendar/rollover_calendar |
