Partial Closes and Auto Syncs

Partial Closes

Although clients are able to partially close positions on the MT4 demos it is not a feature available on live MT4 accounts at this time. The live account trades utilize the Boston Technologies bridge which is not able to support partial closes yet.

If you would like to scale out of positions, we recommend opening multiple tickets instead of opening one ticket for the entire amount. That way you can close out specific amounts at each exit point.

Auto Syncs

The FXCM statement accessed via www.myfxcm.com or the FX Trading Station II is the record of statement for MT4 accounts. It is important to understand MT4 is only an interface and that a client should reference the read only FXCM Trading Station to confirm their executed prices and orders.

FXCM reconciles the MT4 statement with the FXCM statement via Auto Syncs to ensure the balance on MT4 reflects the balance on the FXCM statement. For example rollover is calculated by FXCM then transmitted to MT4 via an Auto Sync to either add or deduct rollover (swap).
