Hi, Are the London servers based in your own office or at a 3rd party site. What provisions are there for a catastrophic failure on the London servers/platform...would it be possible to place/close orders, adjust stop loss etc. by phone if this were to happen? Also, is it possible to trade...

Hi, Thanks for the information. Is the "live prices on the website" issue to do with the website being based in Japan, as opposed to a UK based website? Also, with regard to trading, are those servers also based in Japan. Does the LionTrader platform connect directly to them, or is there some...

Hi Hirose Financial UK, Would it be possible for your website to have live spreads of the most popular currencies on it. Most brokers do this now and it's a quick way of gauging differences between brokers. I know it is possible to sign up for a demo account and see for myself, but there is no...

Hi Jason Rogers, I have looked through FXCodeBase.COM: Forex Chart Indicators and Development • View forum - Custom Strategies to see if there was anything close to what I was looking for, but couldn't find anything. I'm not a coder either, so it would probably take to much time to go through...

Hi Jason Rogers, Thanks for the clarification on the MT4 platform. Just out of curiosity, how was the Trading Station platform created; was it created from scratch, in-house by FXCM, or was it based on another platform. The following questions are for the TSII platform. With regard to trailing...

Hi Jason Rogers, Thanks for the useful information as always. The reason I asked is because I stopped using MT4 some time ago, specifically for the problems I mentioned. I guess it's once bitten twice shy! Does the fact that the MT4 platform is directly connected mean that a trader won't suffer...

Hi Jason Rogers, Am I right in thinking the MT4 spread betting platform will have an extra transactional layer when compared to TSII. (i.e the orders pass through MT servers as well as FXCM's)? Also, what about the controversial 'virtual dealer plugin'. Does this play a part in the FXCM MT4...

Hi Jason Rogers, Is it possible to scale in AND out of trades in spread betting as you can in Spot FX for example? Also, can you export data from MarketScope into another software package (spreadsheet, charting software etc.)? If so, what export formats are supported? On an entirely different...

Hi Jason Rogers, Thanks for perservering! :cheesy: My question was to do with the price of the Equity Index CFD and the underlying Index moving differently, as opposed to the spreads. So for instance if the prices normally move closely together on the two, what would make them move apart...

Hi Jason Rogers, Sorry if I wasn't clear about my first question, but I was referring to the conditions that might cause the pricing to widen between the Equity Index CFD and the corresponding underlying Index. With regard to the historical data. Could you tell me if it can be imported into...

Hi Jason Rogers, Just out of curiosity, what conditions would cause the pricing to widen between the Indices on FXCM and the underlying Index. On another note, how much historical data is available for the spread betting instruments (eg. FX, Indices etc.), and what is the quality of this data...

Hi Jason Rogers, I guess that means, thanks to the 1K increments, you can bet in pretty varying sizes per pip now. :clap: It will probably be a boon for anyone who uses tight money management rules, not to mention smaller traders etc. It's strange that there is no in-depth manual for TSII, as...

Hi Jason Rogers, Thanks for pointing out the possibility of changing the way you can adjust the GBP/Point value. I have just one more quick question...for now. :twisted: I am assuming when you increase the GBP/Point value, it will jump to the next available value based on the minimum 10K...

Hi Jason Rogers, Thanks for the confirmation on the stops and hedging front. I just need a little clarification on the how the Per Pip value relates to Amount (K) and Usd Mr.. By the way, in the FXCM spread betting guide it states: 3.5 Minimum Margin Requirements (MMR) FXCM Margin Rates are...

Hi Jason Rogers, I take it that applies to both entry and exit unless you use a "Market Range" entry for price certainty? Do stops (normal and trailing stops work on the "At Best" principal then, after the price crosses the initial stop threshold? Another thing I forgot to ask...is it possible...
