New issue of the day: Prices in the market watch window don't match the price on the chart. I'm not talking about the bid/ask spread error either. I mean the bid price in the market watch window is roughly 1-1.5 pips different than the bid price on ...

I think the big detail people are missing here is that when you initially fill out the account information in MYFXCM, they ask you for your banking information: bank name, routing numbers, and account numbers. I'm more concerned about a hacker ...

Yeah, you took the screenshot around the time that the spreads widen every day. Here's the current spreads on an FXCM standard account (8:32AM EST)

In fairness, if you took this screenshot around 5:00PM EST, those spreads are standard as liquidy goes dry around that time. From the time Tokyo opens up till New York closes, spreads are usually under 1 pip. But I trade on an FXCM standard account, ...

I know this thread is dead but, I still trade the same way I have for years. A well-diversified inventory of currency positions, no stop losses, smart position sizing, being well-capitalized, and I not only survived the SNB chaos, but profited from ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

To be honest, when it comes to MT4, I'm unsure whether I'd consider the problem to be FXCM's (or any other broker) data feed or the terminal itself.

@Phylo: -We can make expert advisers. -We can make scripts. -We can make indicators. -We can buy them on the MT4 "Market". -We can pay FXCM programming services to do it. Which, given how the average retail "trader" is a better MQL4 programmer than ...

I don't post all that often but with FXCM going through its troubles right now, I feel like I should get this off my chest. Now, in the past, I've stuck up for FXCM (US). They've been my broker for nearly 10 years now. In all honestly, I've never ...

Chavez does have a point. Given the calculation of the strength formulas, you can, at times, find yourself entering at the top or bottom of a given range. Granted, usually you can still extract a few points out of a move just based on the momentum, ...

That's good! The way I figured it out was because I changed the color of the buttons to the color of the "M1 signal" box so the buttons would basically be the same color as the M1 box and would change in real time. I noticed that the buttons would ...

I'll have to change it in your version and test it. In my version, when I changed the code to incorporate the "open chart" buttons it worked just fine. EDIT: Just did it. This is the last version of your dashboard (from post #1522) I downloaded. ...

Just FYI: In the new version of the dashboard with buttons to open charts, the buttons are supposed to change colors based on the signals (red/green/gray). It doesn't work properly. The colors will change once, but not back and forth. Here's why: ...

Those of you asking me for my version of the Dashboard: Please wait. The code from the original dashboard(s) was very inefficient and difficult to navigate. Mine isn't perfect but it's a lot smoother and easier to reference. I've been tweaking my ...
