1 full gold contract uses only $4.00 of margin. Have tried varying volumes, but seems that orders are a couple of decimal places off, that is one contract is "seen' as .01? Any one else seeing this? At this situation I can trade 1000 full contracts.

You may get an "off quotes" or "invalid price" message if the order price requested is no longer within your specified Maximum Deviation tolerance. Maximum deviation allows you to limit slippage on a trade, but the smaller maximum deviation is set the more likely the order might be rejected especially if prices are moving quickly.
I would suggest increasing the maximum deviation amount when placing the order. For example increasing the figure to 10 would allow 1 pip deviation. You can set the default max deviation size by navigating to Tools > Options > Trade at the top of the MT4 platform and setting a default amount. Remember that the MT4 platform is displaying amounts in fractional pips, so an amount of 1 would be 0.1 pips. An amount of 10 would be 1.0 pips.
It's worth noting that FXCM's MT4 platform is unique. We have enhanced the functionality of the Maximum Deviation feature of the platform, so that it only limits negative slippage, but not positive slippage. That means regardless of how high or how low you set your Maximum Deviation tolerance, your order will always get filled at the best available price from the liquidity providers and receive the full benefits of any positive slippage that's available.
Can you conform max lot sizes etc please?

Guys started trading on the demo account. Thing is it doesn't record the trades here on my myfxbook account. I tried clicking the "All history" option on the MT4 platform. Still nothing. Can anyone help with the problem.

I thought the demo account was supposed to start at $50,000. Mines started at $5,000 and my account is in AUD instead of USD.
That means you opened a separate demo account. They should have sent you an email after you signed up with the appropriate login info for this contest. Search your inbox and get that info, log in and choose demo_usd1 or something like that as the server and you're good to go.
