While I appreciate your frustration, our developers have assured me that stop limit orders are in their queue of projects, however, development time is allocated based on client demand. The feedback we have received indicates that more traders are interested in having real volume information (as opposed to tick volume) so this feature (along with some others I'll be able to announce in the near future) have been given priority by our software developers over stop limit orders.

Soon FXCM clients will be able to see real volume information displayed in real time even on 1-minute and 5-minute candles.

In the 5-minute chart above you can see how much volume surged during the ECB announcement on June 5th. I imagine we could see a similar surge in trading for FOMC this week.

Hi Jason

Just a quick question...you said a while back in this thread that FXCM has a PAMM accounts system, but I can't seem to find it on the UK site. Are they not available anymore ?

Thanks
The worst thing I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that.

Hi GubyIQ,

We do offer PAMM accounts. To discuss details, I can put you in touch with one of my colleagues in our London office. Just shoot me a private message with your contact details, and I'll arrange a follow up.

Hey Jason, how does this compare to Tick Volume, do they look the same or do they vary a lot? the bars I mean. You say it's the information of your clients only?

Hey Jason, how does this compare to Tick Volume, do they look the same or do they vary a lot? the bars I mean.
Great question! As you can see from a 1-minute chart below of the recent ECB announcement there's definitely a correlation between Real Volume, Tick Volume and Transactions Volume.

However, there is a notable difference when there is a large spike in real trading volume. The problem with tick volume is that it has no way of showing when huge amount of volume trades at a single price, since that would be counted as a single tick. The real volume indicators can thus provide a more complete picture during major news event like this week's FOMC announcement.

You say it's the information of your clients only?
Yes, FXCM has over 190,000 retail tradable accounts as of the latest publicly available data.

Here are some additional comments from our CEO Drew Niv: "This is the first in a series of new advanced trading analytics that FXCM will be releasing. Over the past year on average, FXCM does over $15 billion in retail trading volume a day on over 400 thousand transactions, providing a free indicator of this nature to sophisticated short-term traders is a game changer in the retail FX space."

Ok Thanks for the Reply Jason, it seems like it something interesting. Although it's not the whole market, 190,000 customers should give a good idea of what the market is trying to do. i will give it a test, and see if it can be including in my trading. Thanks and be well

As mentioned in my previous post, these groundbreaking Real Volume and Transactions indicators display real trade volume and number of transactions from FXCM's clients around the world, giving you the advantage of a deeper look into the market.

http://fxcmapps.com/wp-content/uploa...reenshot-1.jpg


The Real Volume Indicator shows the total volume of live trades during a specified period. Total volume is calculated from the sum of individual transactions. For example:

  1. Client A buys 10K EUR/USD, sells 10K EUR/USD = 20,000 in volume
  2. Client B buys 10K EUR/USD, buys 20K EUR/USD = 30,000 in volume
  3. Total Real Volume = 50,000

The Transactions Indicator shows the sum of individual tickets executed during a specified period. For example:

  1. Client A opens 10K EUR/USD, closes 10K EUR/USD = two transactions
  2. Client B opens 10K EUR/USD, closes 5K EUR/USD, closes 5K EUR/USD = three transactions
  3. Total Transactions: Five

The Real Volume and Transactions indicators work on multiple timeframes: m1, m5, m15, m30, H1, H2, H3, H4, H6, H8, D1, W1 and M1.


http://www.forex-tsd.com/images/impo...014/06/190.jpg


You can use these indicators with 14 currency pairs: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, EUR/JPY, AUD/USD, GBP/JPY, USD/CAD, AUD/JPY, USD/CHF, EUR/CHF, NZD/USD, EUR/AUD, EUR/GBP and EUR/CAD.

If you tried downloading our new Real Volume and Transactions Indicators within the past 20 hours, then you would have received a message to join the waiting list, since we reached 500 downloads for our initial beta test group within just a few hours of the release.

http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...7&d=1403045633


The good news is that our initial tests with this user group have gone smoothly, so if you are on the waiting list, you can get the Real Volume indicators now. If you weren't on the waiting list, you can still get these indicators, if you're one of the first 2000 people to download them at FXCMapps.com (before today's FOMC announcement! )

After you install the real volume indicators, you can right click on your chart and select "Add Indicators". In the window that appears, you will see these indicators labeled as REAL VOLUME and TRANSACTIONS.

ON TS2 against each open trade it shows under "Roll" the total rollover cost. On trades open for a long time some of that cost has already been paid. Is there anyway I can find or work out what the remaining rollover is that would be paid when I close the trade?
