Ok thanks.

Thanks, Jason ...not quite sure how I put another "s" in your name ...apologies. Re the quseton about the continuous chart, without gaps, would it be possible for me to edit the chart ? ie take out the part of the line I don't think should be there ?

Jasson, two questions about the charts if I may. 1) Will it ever be possible to customise the charts in terms of selecting in between time bars ...eg 2 mins and 3 mins ? If not could you tell me of a suitable chart package that I could use as an add on with the FXCM price feed/trading platform...

Jason, thanks for the answers. I've just scrolled back to the 1 min charts from last night's trading. I'm now just seeing the long line (the first bar of 11/4/09) up at 22.00, so I am none the wiser. I take your point that trading begins at 21.15 and that "the Trading Desk refreshes rates to...

Strange goings on at FXCM this evening. I logged in, not to trade, as I had no idea the market might be open. I wanted to view the research page to see what figures were out tomorrow. I then glanced at the charts and noticed that £/$ was active and had opened much higher, around 1.5450. I looked...

Well it certainly seems as though my introduction to the forum has been a thread killer ! :lol: Jason, two questions about stop placement and when stops are triggered, if I may. I'm not looking for definitive answers as I know and realise that fills on stops are dependent on numerous factors...

Thanks for the reply Rhody Trader. I accept the fact and can live with the fact that FX price reporting is indicative rather than a report of contracts traded at an actual known price. To keep shifting from ask prices at higher levels and bid prices at lower levels is cumbersome, tedious...

Yes, thanks seen that. By the clicking of beer glasses should I surmise that your company agree to the 1 pip prices for special clients ? :innocent:

Forex whether traded through a spread firm (wider spreads) or broker (narrower spreads) cannot report it's trades back to the market place as efficiently as say CBOT, where a buyer and seller agree a price and that price is reported back, logged and sold to chart vendors ...it is in effect cast...

Anyway Jason, it's good to make my first buddy on the forum ...now, if I could only persuade you to get your cable quotes down to a one pip spread, we might well end up being drinking buddies. :smart:

Indeed, that was the quote and as you can see from my earlier post (below) I was just about spot on. :cool: As an aside (and this is a general observation, not just a dig at FXCM) I'm quite astonished at how many FX trading platform companies and brokers who offer online trading with...

Ok, I understand how each time you are utilising £50 of the total account balance, you are allowing the client to trade a 10000 unit position, £50 is taken from Useable to Used and as a consequence the amount in Usable obviously diminishes by the same amount. I also understand that when Usable...

Jason, Thanks for the reply. When you mention that £250 is left over to guard against losses or open new positions, am I to presume that the new positions may only be opened, ie in other currency pairs, only when the original cable position is closed off ? And if one were to deposit say £3000...

Many thanks ...appreciated.

Absolutely, when I mentioend this morning's cable I just gave it as an example of a trending market that would have been caught by the system. Swallows and summers though, of course. When you mention software, is there software out there that can calculate things like True Range, N, Dollar...
