Thread: Web-Based Forex Platform

Can you use the Web-Based Forex Platform with a micro trading account?

Carl

Hi Los626,

Welcome to the Micro Forum!


Can a Micro Trading account be used on the Web-Based Forum Platform?

While traditional Micro accounts cannot use Trading Station Gateway, if you open a Standard account (with a minimum of $2,000), we can get you on the TSG web-based platform with 1k lot trade size enabled.

If you would like to learn more about opening this type of account, let me know directly at rob@fxcm.com and I can assist you in setting this up.

Have a great weekend!

Rob

In MarketScope TradeSataion, when placing orders and selecting the number of lots, the system will display the value for each pip.
When using TSG, I am not seeing this pip value feature when I am placing an order. Is there a setting I need to enable to have this feature? PLease assist me.
Thanks

Hello lissyking, and thank you for your post!


How can I see how much each pip is worth for my trade size when placing an order on the Trading Station Web based platform?

In order to enable this functionality please follow the simple steps below:

Step 1. Click on "System" on the top left hand corner and then click on "Options"

Step 2. The "Options" window will appear. Click on "General Trading" on the top left hand corner. Then change "Amount Mode" on the right from "Lot" to "Currency/Point Visual". Click on "Apply" then "OK" to implement the changes.

Congratulations! Now the USD/Point section will update as you enter your trade size when placing an order. That will let you know how much each pip is worth for your trade size.
