We've been through this, and apparently the answer is no.

Hi
I know it is not ideal, but unfortunately in order to provide tight spreads on MT4 we have had to use the additional decimal place.
On our FX/CFD platform this is less of an issue, but I know it can be a little confusing when for example you are spread betting to 0.0001 but the price shows to 0.00001.
We have only done this on the 5 major FX pairs. The only way around this would be to widen the spreads, which is not something we want to do.
We have many customers using their EAs and scripts with no problems on the platform, so it may just be the one you have that is causing a problem.
Regards

Hi
The only offer we are running at the moment is the Refer A Friend offer.
We will no doubt be doing something at some stage in the future, but there are no plans for the moment.

These sort of accounts are no good for novices wishing to get their feet wet using real money and little capital. The minimum stake is £1 a pip/tick so they need to put in a fair bit not to blow their account. Oh I forgot, some companies thrive on a high turnover of "punters". :whistling
How much do you have to deposit in order to open an account with GFT? I see no reason to move away from SLM at the moment. MT4 do gives you control over your positions. From a security point it is good to have several SB tough.
Actually, I think the minimum used to be $3k, not £3k. Not sure if there is a min now, and as they match 5% of your deposit it's best to put in as much as you can afford, then withdraw it after the T&Cs have been met.
Is Refer a Friend still running? Can't see it on the site?

Did anyone read whether the trades are offset in the underlying market ? (hedged)
I looked and couldn't find if this has already been asked!
TIA

Just what is unbalanced by the book I guess.
whats the re-quotes like with these.........a friend of mine in Spain is with them and gets re-quotes all the time, he's been in touch and they said it's on his side (but he doesn't think so and thinks he's just been fobbed off). Anyone on here that uses them experience re-quotes??? thanks

I used to but they quickly fixed it. I don't get any requotes now.
Same with me, I definitely get less re-quotes now. I suggest he look at slippage allowed (deviation) on his side on setting up a mt4 trade.
thanks for the reply's. gle101 he has his slippage deviation to 4 and does get less quotes now, however isn't this going against the reason of joining a broker with tight spreads (e.g. EU 1pip) as he has now opened himself up to quotes with spreads of 4 pips?
This is correct, however we are talking about pips, so for instance trading the FTSE, with a fractional point quotation 3 pips is not that much. Trading the Dow however, one should set maybe only 1 pip deviation.
Hi all
I've just opened an account with SLM and downloaded the MT4. I have been using an indicator called CC which shows currency strengths for the majors on another providers MT4. I tried to install and use this on the SLM MT4 but the indicator doesn't show up. Has anyone had this problem and resolved the issue that may be able to help/have a solution for this? I've contacted SLM and they ran through some things with me but that never fixed the issue.
Thanks.
