Has anyone used the OrderToGo with an Active Trader account? Are there any functions in the API that can retrieve the level 2 information to see the depth of the market?

Hello,

How do I use the API to obtain the list of all currencies that can be traded on the platform?
On a related note, can I use TradeDeskAut.SetOfferSubscription to subscribe to every single instrument there is?

the parts that scare me are
1. the backtest doesnt show how the study would perform in a quiet market, like the part to the left of the line on the chart
2. its largest drawdown was half the size of its annual profit
3. there was a 4 month period with slightly negative profits
4. almost 1/3 of the strategy's profit came from one good month

the thing is, because ive never done this before, i dont know if this is typical, or if i should be trying to improve it.. the strategy does tend to let profits slip away.. i just havent found a method of capturing that yet without decreasing profits. any input would be appreciated

P.S. these results are taking 6 pips of spread into account on every trade

Hi,

I use the rates.fxcm.com to quickly look at charts at times, it is good on my cell phone. But recently, I noticed the charts are not coming up consistently. Sometimes I have to refresh 8-10 times before a chart comes up.

When it fails, I see an empty chart with the words "no chart available". Here is an example for a EUR/USD daily chart:

Prices: long term graph

Can you help please?

Hi FXCM

When i try to retreive the "TradeDeskAut.ConnectionStatus" property, VB reports that it does not exist or not public member.

In VB Object Browser, when i checked the members, "ConnectionStatus" and none of the "STATUS_..." property was found.

Please advise how do i get the "ConnectionStatus" to enable me restore a lost connection on the fly.

Hi,

Is there a way to turn off hedging, and to force my demo account to act like a FXCM US account after the FIFO rule change?

As currently, they behave differently and its somewhat harder to test automated strategies because of these two differences between the real and demo accounts..

"Error # 462 was generated by Microsoft.VisualBasic The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable."

I get this error in MS-VB Express 2008 (with SP1) for the command:

sink = CreateObject("FXcore.TradeDeskEventsSink", "FXE_")

Any clue, what is missing here...

I tested the "events.vbs" example from dos-box using CScript / WScript. Both works fine and no issues.

To Whom It May Concern-

I was directed to this forum by Phillip Kim at FXCM to place a request for a flat file on behalf of a mutual client of ours. To import trade data into our system, we require a trade file dropped each time a trade is executed onto our client's FTP. I have attached the required format and am happy to discuss. Please coordinate through Phillip Kim. Thanks.

I would like to know if there is a forum for programmers which discusses possible algorithms for identifying trends, reversal patterns, strategies, etc. and the possible methods fo coding them.

Is something like that available at FXProgrammers or elsewhere?

But when I will check the status after creating Fix Order, it gives me "Specified order was not found" error!. Below is my syntax for the same. I am using C# .Net for a developement tool.

object obj1;

mWrapper.Desk.CreateFixOrder((int)Program.objMainR si.mWrapper.Desk.FIX_OPENMARKET , " ", 0, 0, " ", "XXXXXX", "EUR/USD", true, 20000, " ", out obj1, out obj2);

string strStatus = mWrapper.Desk.GetOrderStatus(obj1.ToString());

Is anybody has idea for the same?
