Hey, the "Napster of Forex", I like that! Mind if I use it?
I think you could be right, we could actually move markets with this thing. It would take a LOT of people with a LOT of money, but it's technically possible. Thanks for the props. -gThe Napster of Forex

Prices are actually pulled from sites on the internet (with redundancy.) If we fail to get a rate from the first priority site, we try the second, and so on. I think I have three sites configured in my database currently. The price values are stored ...

Morning Bemac, For the sake of simplicity, I am not taking spreads into account when pulling the current value. The purpose of tracking the purchase price of orders is simply to give an idea of how successful that trader has been, not an exact pip ...

Merlin- It looks like there's interest. I can't find your email address in your profile. Can you shoot me an email with your ideas on integration?

There is a good chance i will be able to implement this in the existing version. Let me look into it. Would you want to see 2 seperate columns, one for average long entry value and one for average short entry value? Or just one average entry value?

Good idea. I have considered doing the chat room/discussion board thing. Perhaps in the next release. (You tired of hearing me say that yet?)

You can manual refresh, but it auto refreshes as well. The default is to auto-refresh every minute. You can change that value in your General Settings (Right click > General Settings.)
