Hi gheajamarcel,I'd be happy to look into this for you. Please email me your demo login details at [email protected] and I'll let you know what I find.Jason

Hi Mychan,In regards to your question regarding deposits and withdrawals, I would need some more details in order to answer that for you. You can email me at [email protected] with your demo login and password, and I'll be happy to check it out.As Professor53 said (thanks 😄), your investor password should be different from your master password. That way people can use your investor password to see your trades, but they won't be able to place trades on your account themselves. Only the person with the master password can place trades on the account, so you should keep the master...

Hi AtApi,If you get the off-quotes message frequently, that is easily fixed by changing your Max Deviation. The Max Deviation lets you specify how many pips away from your order price you are willing to be filled, if your exact price is no longer available in the market. Even though you are trading on a demo, FXCM has tried to make the our MT4 demos simulate the live trading experience as closely as possible, which is why you are getting that off-quotes message. Try changing your Max Deviation to 20 or 30 as shown below, which corresponds to 2 or 3 pips.http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5299/...

Upcoming Contest Q&A in General May 09, 2012 at 18:58

Hi LiquidityFX,Try setting the Maximum Deviation in the Order window to 20 or 30 as shown below. That should fix it. Since FXCM uses 5-digit pricing (fractional pips), every 10 points is equivalent to one pip.http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5299/maxdeviation2012may09.pngJason

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.ht...

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?

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 availab...
