Thread: 4. Programming Services / Strategy Coding

As a leader in the retail currency trading markets FXCM Programming Services is able to leverage its experience and expertise to help clients implement their automated strategy designs on platforms such as TradeStation, MetaTrader, and other platforms upon request.

Automated strategies are useful for both seasoned and novice traders alike. Clients often favour trading certain currencies, types of markets, or times of day. An automated strategy allows a program to trade what and when you don't want to. As an example, if you prefer trading range bound markets, develop a trending strategy to compliment your style. Additions like this can make a traders overall approach more complete.

FXCM's team of expert programmers can take your trading concepts and implement an automated strategy in the language of your choice, on the platform of your choice. With the assistance of FXCM Programming Services a lack of programming experience is no longer a barrier to the rapid development of your automated strategy.

Consider the following benefits of using automated trading strategies in the FX market:

* Automated strategies lack emotion when trading.

* Trading using predefined programmed rules allows virtually instant decision making in active markets.

* Defining set ways to manage money and risk allows a trader to maintain discipline.

* The 24 hour a day nature and deep liquidity of the FX market lends itself well to technical trading.

* An automated strategy never sleeps, has to go to work, or needs to step away for lunch. It runs until its turned off.

Hi,
I developed an automated strategy on “strategy trader” platform which seems to work fine.
If I would upgrade my account to an “active trader account” how could I continue to use my automated strategy?
Thanks
