How to connect MT4 and Excel
You can export indicators and prices from MT4 to Excel and execute orders from excel to several MT4s + other cool staff. It is explained here FxDialogue.
If you interested let me know. |

Anyone using FAP Turbo?

Another note: Please make sure that any expert advisor you use is compatible with fractional pips. FXCM quotes rates to 5 decimals (3 decimals on JPY pairs) for fractional pips.

I'm curious if anyone out there is using FAP Turbo? All of the reviews I can find seem to be positive - just wondering if anyone has tried it. (If I should be posting this in a different form, please let me know.) Thank you!

Hello
What I want to do is start with opening the $25 account at FXCM.
Is it possible toget going an add funds as you go.
The plan is to build up a balance,compound an grow the account.
I see people have big money to start an play with,I am not in this postion at the moment.
I see people are losing heaps,an they are the people that are meant to be good at this.
The future is that you need to learn the skills that will provide you with new ways of earning a regular buck.
It seems everyone is jumping on the these robots,still your account has to be able to see you through the lows until they bounce back into profit.
Doing the demos an carrying over the drawdown until you are back in profit,in a way you never lose.
This is not real money an you have toget a feel for what is happening out there.
Ok any one else in the same postion.
Thanks Len

MT4 and Trading Station Comparison
I have accessed the MT4 video. I would like to learn more. I presently have a Micro account on the Trading Station. I will soon be establishing a larger account and would like to become more acquainted with MT4 so that I can make a decision as to which platform would work best for me. At first glance it appears that The Trading Station is more elementary. Is this true? Also, I am not certain as to what is meant by "obtaining a report for MT4 on the Trading Station (which apparently is read only if you trade on MT4)". How does one get a printout?
Please advise me. Thanks.

Hi Len,
For starting with $25, you would have to go with FXCM Micro and use the FX Trade Station. The MT4 platform is only available for account balances with $2,000 or more.
You could always start with the micro account and then convert it to an MT4 account once your balance is up to the minimum.

Hi phanna,
I've seen users feel strongly about both the FX Trade Station as far as which platform they prefer. As a rule of thumb, I find the FX Trade Station better if you are going to be self-trading and the MT4 paltform better if you plan to use expert advisors for automated trading. The MT4 platform does have more features available on their charts, whereas the FX Trade Station has more trading execution features such as one click execution, partial closing of orders, at best vs. market range orders.
The Account History tab in the MT4 Terminal window will show a history of your trades, but it's always best to verify it against the read only login you will receive with a live account. The read only login is always the statement of record.

hi Rosman,
I would suggest starting with the free EA's on the forum http://forexforums.dailyfx.com/mt4/6...-advisors.html or try the Forex System Selector which has over 40 back-tested systems to choose from.
There are a lot of EA's/robots out there, so make sure to do your due diligence.

FXCM is in the process of setting up VPS for MT4 users. If you have a live MT4 account and would like to beta test the VPS, let me know.

hi marketwavez2,
That is an important detail
VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. A VPS allows you to run the MT4 platform and your MT4 trading account on a secure dedicated server independent from your computer.
The benefit is that you don't need to be running your computer 24/7. This is important for traders using expert advisors. Expert advisors (EA's) will only operate if the MT4 platform is open and running on your computer. If your computer crashes or you lose internet connection, your EA is no longer running and trades cannot be managed by the EA.
If you use a VPS, you can turn off your computer or internet conection, and the VPS will still execute your trades.

Using MT4 demo - read only login for Trade Station
I've been using MT4 with a demo account and can see the history but need to verify it against FX Trade Station. I understand I'll get a read only login when I set up a live account, but I want to be able to do this with a demo account. I did receive an investor password that's for read-only, but I have not been able to get into FX Trade Station with it. In Trade Station, I enter my MT4 account login number and then the investor password (since it said it's for read-only access). Shouldn't I be able to access FX Trade Station (for validation/reporting purposes only) with an MT4 demo account? I want to be able to do everything in demo as I would with a live account.
Thank you!!
