Two questions about the Trading Station II platform - DailyFX Forex Forum

Merchantprince · #1 (**permalink**) 09-02-2009, 09:08 PM

Hello, guys. I have two quick questions about the trading station platform for my micro account. This is my first Live account, so forgive the noobness of the following:

A.) Does Trading Station need to be opened for entry orders to be filled? What I mean is, are orders sent to the brokerage right when I set them or when the trade is triggered?

B.) Is there any way to put up past orders on the chart, like a "ghost pattern" I can review after the trades have completed and have thus been cleared from the chart?

Thanks!

Is there anyone who can answer these for me?

To answer your questions:

a) trading station does not need to be opened for the entry orders to be filled. The entry orders would be on our servers and it will take effect once the price is touched.

b) you can manually add the past trades or orders on the chart by clicking on the little pencil icon on top of the Marketscope chart.

Thank you for the reply. I would also like to add STARC bands to my charts. Is this possible?

Merchantprince,

FXCM Micro is only able to add the indicators that is in the marketscope charting package.
