    Spread betting at FXCM

    There is no confusion here. Firstly, the issue only affects FXCM users - I am not able to find in the public domain any reports from users where the problem exists with other brokers. Secondly, I suspect that the problem affects all users that have UAC enabled AND are trying to uninstall the...

    Spread betting at FXCM

    Can you explain why this is only a problem with FXCM? I can find no reports of it affecting any other broker, and I myself have MT4 installed from two other brokers, and they both work fine and install/uninstall with UAC enabled.

    Spread betting at FXCM

    This is such an irresponsible post!! For those that do not understand what this is doing, it is switching/disabling Windows User Account Control (UAC). I strongly advise that you DO NOT follow these instructions, and instead, FXCM need to find a more appropriate and safer solution. As a...

    Readyness for MT4 update Guys, NVP asked me to post a message just to summarise what is going on with the MT4 update. So, MT4 is receiving a major update on the 3rd February. The majority of the changes are around the MQL language, changing it to be very similar (if not identical) to MQL5...

    Is also worth saying... vol is down due to people starting their Christmas holidays... :-0 vol is down because traders don't trade in December as they don't want to lose any of their PnL before the end of Year :-0 :-0 AND vol is down because the market is waiting for FOMC decision tomorrow on...

    My own personal take on that is, it can work, but you have to be planning the trade carefully. If you use both short term and long term strength meters, and they match up, they I wouldn't try and play against it. That is, if the long term is weak (for a particular currency), and the short term...

    A big part of that move, around 90 pips, took place in less than 3 minutes. Man it was quick! RBA governor Stevens announced 0.85 as a more realistic level that they were targeting as an exchange rate. Most national banks say that they are unconcerned with specific exchange rates, so for the...

    That is a really great post that you dug out there. :thumbsup: Personally, I am very much in the middle stage of what looks like a very similar story - discretionary trading, albeit with a particular methodology. Strength meters however, very much form part of that basis of trading for me...

    Great call NVP. Given what is coming out of the RBA, AUD is looking at more weakness over the coming months so it is definitely a sell. GBPAUD has broken 3 year highs. IFR markets talk of good demand for 1.8 option strikes in GBPAUD. So GBPAUD is looking like a great buy! Not just opinion...

    Forex strengthmeters - the basics

    All these issues about the indicator not displaying properly are related to data. The data for one (or more) of the major currency pairs is either missing, or there are holes, or the data is wrong. Note that when I say data, that includes differences with the symbol name. GKFX for example...

    Forex strengthmeters - the basics

    It is going to be entirely dependent on what the indicator is doing. If you use another indicator that only uses data from just the pair chart it is on (which is the majority of indicators), then probably not. Alternatively, if you use an indicator that uses data from other currency pairs...
