ecTrade replied Apr 1, 2010Interesting. It looks kind of pricey though. All I'm looking for is some sort of gateway (if that's what you call it?) so I can pickup one or two signals, and let the EA's take care of the rest.
Communicate With MT4 Using External Program
-
ecTrade replied Apr 1, 2010The fact that you are placing a trade in the opposite direction of the current trade (or, one or more trades), it's called a hedge. Or, this is what my broker (IBFX) calls it, and they won't allow me to do it. Plain and simple.

ecTrade replied Apr 1, 2010So, you can set an alarm to go off when certain conditions are met and, you can set a hot-key, which is external, to execute a trade (I believe) and thus communicate with the program. So, is there some sort of interface involved, via the hot-key, ...

Okay, here is a good question. Is there any way (preferably easy) to communicate with the MT4 ...

ecTrade replied Apr 1, 20101 - .5 = .5. There is nothing that says you have to hedge the whole amount or, leave it open indefinitely. I just figure if the price is going in the opposite direction, I may as well make a few bucks while it's doing so.

ecTrade replied Apr 1, 2010Isn't that ridiculous, that this is basically the only difference?

ecTrade replied Apr 1, 2010Hey, how about the Yen vs the Euro and USD? It's down 500 points with the Euro over the last week, and 350 points with the USD. It's really messing me up. Although I have over $100 in earnings, I'm down by $375, and $290 of that is with these two ...

ecTrade replied Apr 1, 2010Well, I have about 3K in my IBFX account. Maybe I could bump it up to 5K with a credit card? But still, they might have an issue with it because I'm out of work. It might be better to see if I can't transfer with IBFX in the UK. Oh, if CFX is as ...

ecTrade replied Apr 1, 2010Wow, thanks! I have heard about ATC. Maybe I should look into it? Is it intraday hedging like IBFX they are offering or, did they opt not to cop into the NFA (I heard it was possible) and don't net out at the end of the day? Oh, how stringent are ...

ecTrade replied Apr 1, 2010It's only worthless if you don't know what to do with it.
I was thinking more in terms of a partial hedge for shorter durations, sort of like scalping in the opposite direction. This allows you to "pad" the balance so, that once the price finally ...What Happened to IBFX Hedging?

ecTrade replied Mar 31, 2010I think what they really need to do (if they want it to work), is provide people with the option to opt in if they wanted to hedge. And, if they don't opt in, they won't be allowed to do so. That way I think it would give them a chance to make ...

ecTrade replied Mar 31, 2010Yeah, I believe they already opened a branch in the UK. I haven't really looked into it yet, and only assume they allow hedging. My main concern with going overseas, is how do I fund the account and how do I get the money out? With IBFX in the ...
What Happened to IBFX Hedging?
-
ecTrade replied Mar 31, 2010Yeah, I figured it was either something like that or they were being pressured by the NFA. It's too bad, because I finally found myself in a position where I could use it (earlier today), and it's like, who do you think you are?

ecTrade replied Mar 31, 2010Wow, here's the email I got from them on March 16th. It doesn't really say a whole lot does it? I figure they were probably getting pressured by the NFA.
What Happened to IBFX Hedging?

ecTrade replied Mar 31, 2010No, they had this hedging thing where they allowed you to hedge daily but closed the hedges out at the end of the day. They started this back in December I believe. But now, for whatever reason, they (or someone) decided it wasn't a good idea. ...

ecTrade replied Mar 31, 2010What, is that the German version? Mine is US version and "Advisors" is spelled correctly.

Did anyone else have to do that MT4 live update today?
-
ecTrade replied Mar 31, 2010If I have time, I can look into it later. Oh, it looks like there's no point in getting the hedge to work (at least for now), for it looks like IBFX has discontinued it. Crap! This Yen vs Euro and USD is starting to get out of hand, and I thought ...

ecTrade replied Mar 31, 2010Doesn't it give you the option not to install them? Of course I don't know if that makes the window go away or not?
