Jason,
I am trying to set my Marketscope charts up to equal a New York close type of chart. I have tried hiding the weekend data etc, no luck. When I compare them side by side, it seems Marketscope always adds data to the 5:00pm est bar to close a gap of some sorts. Is there a way to not show this data and get the open of the Monday financial time bar to be correct?
Thanks a million.

Hi jason,

im an fx account manager and just got a huge fxcm account for management. I want to open a personal fxcm account so that my 30% performance fee can be deducted from my client's account under management into my own account at the end of every month.

How do i set this up?

Hi Premiernc,

Normally, you would be able to filter out the weekend data from the MarketScope charts by selecting Hide in the Options window as shown below.

Unfortunately, that Hide option is not currently working because of a bug with the charts display. Our developers are currently investigating this issue and will hopefully be able to resolve it soon. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your PM and offer to help me. after many hours I am sure I have now found the problem. It may well have been the way I set up the trade and nothing to do with the MT4 . So the answer to " am I reading some thing the wrong way " is YES . I guess that's why we have demo's .

Hi Napoleon,

Since our forex spreads are set by price competition from multiple liquidity providers, they can vary based on market volatility and liquidity. As that changes, so too can the spread. If you would like to gain access to tighter spreads, I would recommend looking into the active trader program which offers lower transaction costs through a reduced spread/commission combination. The transaction cost is dependent on the amount of volume you transact on a monthly basis, so transaction...
Here's another viewpoint, maybe being as FXCM is a public company now and has to show an honest diligent increase of the bottom line to retain shareholders. Simple they have increased the spread markup passed on to the platform.

Suggestion forget about Mt4 and use TS 2 it is far better.

i've often wondered why the significantly bigger FXCM spreads, even on the pro accounts, compared to most other brokers........yet the customer base grows

why, what is the payoff?

1,because most clients(esp from pan-Asia) are introduced by 3rd parties(IBs, Money manager), to whom commission payout is the no.1 factor.

2, more avenue for company mean more advertising investment and all around service(like analysis, etc), in turn attract more amateur clients.

And it is important for FXCM clients to register under IBs that provide cash back or rebate.

Hi Liszt04,

I just confirmed this is a tech issue on our end with the Trading Station charts for the time period in question. This missing data is going to be re-populated and will become visible after this coming weekend’s maintenance. By next Sunday open, this issue will be resolved. In the meantime, we have other charts, which are unaffected. I apologize for the inconvenience.
