{quote} When using a skin, the GUI is frozen ( doesn't respond to clicks or keyboard ). That is the only issue I found. In fact, I copied all my templates and layouts from the Windows folder into the wine installation folder and, if it wasn't for the skin missing, I could not tell the difference. Maybe there is something here for FXCM to explore. There are very few brokers with linux compatible platforms ( with the exception of mt4, but mt4 with wine becomes problematic with some addons ).

Thanks again, Alex! Coincidentally, one of my friends recently asked me if he could run Trading Station Desktop on his Linux machine. I'll be sure to share your insights with him, and I will share you thoughts about Linux with our developers.

{quote} Hi Frank, I'm a nerd too and very particular about how my charts are arranged. You can rearrange the charts on Marketscope using the dockable windows as shown in this video. That said, you mentioned you are using a touch screen. My experience with touch screens is limited, so please let me know whether the steps in that video work for your touch screen in the same way they do for a mouse.
Jason,
I got some information that I never knew before. But the video does not explain how can I get a number of tabs in line when they are out of order. Instead of having the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4. I have 1. 2, 4, 3. Dropping the tab on the centre part of the arrows does not change this sequence. As you can see in the screenshot the 1HR chart is out of sequence--to the right of the 5 Min chart instead of before it, reading from left to right and I just want to put it before the 5 Min chart. I need to know how to put one tab in front or behind another. A bit like in Ms Excel when you right click on the tab of a worksheet and one of the options is "Move" and the options are "Move Before...." and it gives you a choice from the worksheets you have. I can then choose where to move the worksheet. Looking for something similar in Trade Station.
Cheers,

sorry for answering while i am not official fxcm support, but you can just drag the tab to the pretended sequence, like in a browser. ( be carefull to not drag the tab to another place. while dragging, keep the mouse in vertical range of the other tabs )

Alex,
Yep that worked. I see what you mean about the mouse. Will work that out. Thanks for that.
Notice also that if you DOUBLE-CLICK A TAB, OTHERS AROUND IT MOVE. Must work out how this works. I think this will hold the key. Yes, those two ideas are all I need to move on.

Jason, that is not real intuitive. Perhaps some work needs to be done by the software engineers. It is not a smooth execution. Also I could not find these answers in the user manual online, nor the video. Sometihing for the team to add in.
Anyway, thanks for helping with a 101 question. Cheers

The double click of the tabs is something i really love about trading station. Setup marketscope as a 4 instrument or 6 instrument monitor, and when you want to focus on only one tab, just double click on the tab. To restore the monitor state, just double click again.

Now.... if tradingstation had tick/volume candlestick charts ... would not need ninja trader for anything else

And thank you both for your feedback on Trading Station charts. I'm sharing your comments with our developers.

Traded with them for over 2 years now and very reliable and stable The deal the cut to survive will eventually result in a change of ownership but apparently no change in management. I do find a difference in broker candle formations as two hours on a H4 candle can be huge

As it stands right now, US law prohibits anyone but CFTC-regulated brokers from offering forex to traders in the US. I can let you know if that changes.

Thanks. I've been trying to figure what from today's signing was real and what was more for stagecraft.

Hello Jason Roger,
You have previously posted about the update to Trading Station, and mentioned you would keep us updated with any new developments. What can we anticipate in the near future when there is a software update available? Is this kind of information available anywhere? Twitter? I checked beta sections on fxcodebase but nothing has been posted there this year. What new features are being worked on since the "simulation mode" update? I hope we are able to hide the toolbar. I am talking about this one: You can hide buttons but not the whole toolbar... Would save space if I could do that

Hi PP,

When I have information about an upcoming release of a new version of Trading Station (Desktop, Mobile or Web) I will make posts here highlighting the new features you can expect. For now, I can tell you there is already a way to hide buttons and add other buttons on your chart toolbar. The very last button on the far right of your toolbar gives you the option to "Add or Remove Buttons".

Ho-Lee-S***!!!!! Ummm....Jason?
That really narrows it down for us U.S. traders, huh? I've been paper trading on Thinkorswim and considering a move when I go live. Now I think maybe I should just stay here and deal with their high fees and/or spreads

Hi Jason,

How about you explain to me why as soon as 5pm hits the spreads get crazy wide....seems to me like a stop hunt or a chance to scam some pips from retail traders......how about a spread going from an average "according to the FXCM website" of 1.5 but everyday they stretch it out....today it was listed as 24 pips....with NO NEWS ????????????????????
