{quote} Hi Jason, I have a standard account. Is it upgraded to an active trader account automatically if balance exceeds 25,000$ or should I open a new account for that?
Hi Grandaevus,

While your premium account won't automatically upgrade to Active Trader, you don't need to open a new account. If this account type interests you, please send me a PM. I can have have one of our Active Trader service team members follow up with you.

{quote} Hi Jason, thanks for the reply. Do you know if this is the same situation for MyFxBook ? Dan
Hi Dan,

MyFxBook already lets you link your FXCM account via Trading Station instead of MT4, so your complete account history is already available on that site. Note that if you have an MT4 account with FXCM, then your login and password will also work to access Trading Station.

{quote} Hi Espen, Yes, it's possible to remove the 20-symbol restriction on Trading Station. To do so, please send an email to [email protected] referencing your account number and request that the 20-symbol restriction be removed from the account. Jason

Hi Jason,

Would it still be possible to adjust the number of symbols, selecting from the dialog box, once get removed the 20 symbols restriction?
Cuz, I found a post like you would not be able to do symbol subsription, if you remove 20 symbols restriction, and that you will have all symbols listed on the screen then your RAM will be overloaded.

In my case I really need upto 30 symbols but more than 20.

This artical proves they are enticing people to come at low volatility sessions.. are you serious ?! low volatility is a death sentence for your forex account.

Don't ever take advice from any broker.. they are not here to help us and they do not trade in our favor or help us with anything at all.

Well no i got that wrong.. they will help you empty your forex account !

Hi Batku,

Yes, you can email [email protected] to request that the 20-symbol limit on your Trading Station be removed. You can then use the Symbol Subscription List to select which currency pairs to display.

While it's unlikely that your RAM will be overloaded if you subscribe to all the symbols (I do this myself without issue), some traders with slower computers or internet connections might experience better platform performance by limiting the number of symbols they display at one time.

My guess is an exchange - can't see FXCM offering a BTC/USD feed. Maybe accepting BTCs as deposit currency?

low volatility is a death sentence for your forex account.
Perhaps for some trading strategies but by no means all of them :nerd: The article mentioned was part of a series of studies on trader profitability conducted by the analysts at DailyFX.com that looked at over 12 million real trades. That data showed that most traders are range traders and their successes and failures very much depend on market conditions.

A key reason so many of these range traders struggle is because they are trading during the wrong time of day. Most forex traders are more successful during the late US, Asian or early European trading sessions – essentially 2 PM to 6 AM Eastern Time (New York), which is 7 PM to 11 AM UK time, since the lower volatility during these hours is more conducive to range trading.

FXCM has received a lot inquiries regarding bitcoin, so we created the infographic to address many of the questions people ask. The numbers on the page update automatically, so they're always current. However, it's just for educational purposes. At this time, we have no plans to offer bitcoin trading.

While exact date has not yet been confirmed, I'll be posting updates as I receive them. So far what I can tell you is that CFD share trading with No Dealing Desk (NDD) execution will be available soon to FXCM clients (outside the US) and traders who are interested can request to receive early access before the wider release.

Sorry Shrike, I had to take the post down for the time being. Apparently, the landing page needs some edits. I should be able to repost soon with more details.

{quote} {quote} At the present time, in order to use Trade Explorer, an FXCM client must have an MT4 account. (Note that MT4 account holders with FXCM are able to use their login details to access Trading Station and place trades from that platform if they prefer.) However, we’re currently working with Forex Factory on an integration that will allow all our clients access to Trade Explorer including non-MT4 account holders. During this process, the trade history you see on Trade Explorer (if you are already linked to it using an MT4 account) will...
Well times up. I'm moving my accounts to IC Markets. Maybe keep my short term account with FXCM.

What you think my results mean nothing to me? Unable to see my trade history for the past month or more?. It's completely absurd. No apologies or notifications form FXCM's end. It says a lot about their attitude towards clients.

Gave you a chance. Been waiting patiently, closing my position.

Hi PT,

Unfortunately, development of stop limit orders has been sidelined for the time being in favor of some other enhancements for Trading Station, such as the real volume and transactions indicators, we're about to launch. While our developers assure me that stop limit orders are something they still intend to add in the future, there is no ETA at present. Like you, I'm looking forward to the addition of this order type with great anticipation.
