My settings on Deviation ere already 10 and I get the rejection noise normally... even though I have plenty of margin.. recently got another 5 lots but the delay was cumbersome.. I pushed... nothing then 5 minutes later heard the accepted sound and it placed... lagged completely.. but normally it is the rejection sound I am hearing and it is not placing the trade but rejecting it

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.

I also cannot place an order on certain things like XAGUSD as it says invalid volume. And I cannot place a trade on any pair by right clicking the market watch window on a pair and clicking new order.
Hi Huckleberry,
What size volume are you trying to trade for XAGUSD?
Jason
I was only testing out the script in order to see the pricing for a single lot. I've never traded XAG before and not being aware of the pricing model I just wanted to see, so I only entered 1 standard lot into my script.
I later right clicked and did new order via the market watch panel and there I saw that the only options were increments of 50??

I have already went to the "Account History" tab, right-click on the history, and select "All History", but still no ranking after did 2 trades. Any admin can help to check?
It says Your current rank is: 0 (You haven't traded yet)
The live chat not helping.

OK, in the absence of any response, I now have 3200 full contracts open in a 50K account and I'm using only $12,800 dollars of margin.
Theoretically I can open another 9000 contracts (give or take),but that seems a bit imprudent....
