Technical Look and Daily Cals

Hey Icarus had a good weekend myself. Hope all is good for you. Had yen trade I let run over the weekend and it got up over 100 pips but the tradestation was shut down so couldn't do anything about it. By the time it opened up I was only up 40 pips. Do you know if on the weekend FXCM honors stops. I had a trailing stop set but when the tradestation opened up it hadn't move a bit.

I am not trying to spark an FXCM bashing session just wondering

fss,

I am not sure, but I think I've read or heard somewhere that on mt4 the "Trailing Stops" feature is linked to ur computer and will only work if ur puter and trading platform is on (on mt4 that is), I don't use tradestation anymore, I never used it for long anyways, so I wouldn't know if the same rules apply. But u could add that to the questions, when ur talk to customer service. Just and fyi, buddy.

Goodluck to us all.

Well I don't spend much time complaining about the brokers but I don't understand after they were shut down all weekend why they needed to shut down for maintenance just before 8:30 est.

I am locked up at the moment!!!!!

Yeah got a long running eur/usd from 2648. Couldn't close it if I wanted to as my platform is locked up

Ibg thanks for the reply but the stop information is stored on fxcm's platform so my computer shouldn't need to run.

Yes fss,
I believe the stops and limits info is stored on the server, but trailing stops info. stored on ur puter for mt4, I may be wrong. But for whatever reasons, I'll suggest u check with cust. serv. just to have some kind of clue as to what happened. So as to cover urself next time.

Hi FSS,

I would not worry as I think the price will rise in about 4-5 hours time it will come down first but then we will get a large jump up followed by an almighty sell off.

Icarus, that has looked like a good long for over a week. Are you trading live or still demo?

Yeah everything is good now. We just had some problems right before the account balance and then more problems right before tics data. These things happen you know.

What do you think about the yen. I think that it is a good shorting opportunity.
