Hello tahquo, and thank you for your post!


Where can I find resources to help me use the Technical Analyzer from DailyFX+?

We have several resources to help you with this tahquo! First I would suggest reading the section on Technical Analyzer from the forum's DailyFX+ FAQ. You can find that section by clicking here. My colleague Rob at FXCM also goes over the indicators on the Technical Analyzer in this post.

One of our course instructors Walker England recently conducted a live webinar titled "Trading Using DailyFX Plus with Walker E" on 08/15/2011. In his webinar Walker goes over how you can effectively use the Technical Analyzer along with some of the other resources available to you exclusively at DailyFX+. Please click here to visit the "Archived Sessions" of DailyFX+ and watch a recording of Walker's webinar.

Lastly, please click on the link below to watch our valued DailyFX.com quantitative analyst David Rodriguez's take on the Trading Signals and Technical Analyzer:

these pairs seem to be lower risk with $20 requirements, not sure why them like many other pairs are locked - using JAVA trading station as I have a MAC

[Rob at FXCM]

Hi WhiteSox05,

Thank you for your post!

Why are some of the currency pairs blocked while using JAVA Trading Station?

JAVA Trading Station is an out of date platform that we no longer service. It is possible that the pairs you are describing are not configured for the use of JAVA Trading Station. I would recommend upgrading to Trading Station Gateway to use on your Mac computer.

Can I use the TSG platform with my Micro account?

The TSG account type is only available to FXCM Standard accounts. You would need to upgrade your Micro account to Standard level by bringing the balance up to at least $2,000 in order to use TSG. Trading Station Gateway is a different type of Standard account that will allow you to continue trading microlot trade sizes.

If you would like to learn more about the platform or learn more about the benefits of upgrading to a Standard account, I can get you in contact with a specialist that can assist you with any questions you have. Email me directly at rob@fxcm.com if you are interested. I am more than happy to help.


Thanks and welcome to the forum!

[Maged Soliman]

Hi, While having a position in place .. I can add another position (in the same direction; for example 2 short positions) .. That's easy

Now, Closing a position is made with the first executed being the first to be closed...

Is there a way where I can open -and close- other position for the same currency pair -in the same direction- without affecting my first position?

Thanks

g'DAY ALL. I am trialling a couple of mirror trader systems at present. Results very encouraging. Are there any others using mirror trader & wanting to start a forum discussion.??

[Julius at FXCM]

Hello ben enriquez, and thank you for your post!


I was wondering if my account was valid or not, and if there will be any issues with withdrawals because of my name?

I have checked with the operations team, and they have notified me that the system cuts the name down to the middle initial however we do have your full name on file. There will be no issues with your withdrawals as long as you are making the withdrawal to an account that is in your name, so you have nothing to worry about ben enriquez.

Remember FXCM cannot accept any payments or withdrawals via a third party. We can neither guarantee the receipt nor the return of such payments. This is in order to prevent money laundering. Please click on the link below that corresponds to what type of account you have to learn more about withdrawing funds from your account:

(Withdrawal FAQ)FXCM Standard | (Withdrawal FAQ (US Residents))FXCM Micro (United States Resident) | FXCM Micro (Residents Outside of the United States)

You can find more information about deposits so you can begin trading on your new account by clicking on the link below that corresponds to what type of account you have:

(Deposit FAQ)FXCM Standard | (Deposit FAQ's)FXCM Micro

On another note, if you don't mind me asking, what type of trading strategy are you utilizing at this time? I may have some resources that can help you to hone your strategy, or develop new ones. Please let me know if there is anything else on my end that I can provide for you to help make your trading experience a better one.

Thank you in advance for your time ben enriquez and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Maged Soliman,

Thank you for your post! You have asked an excellent question!

You are using a US account-type for the Trading Station II. All US accounts must follow FIFO regulations that forces the oldest positions to be closed out before newer trades in the same currency pair. If you are a US resident, you will have to follow these FIFO regulations, but if you reside outside the United States, FXCM can open an account where you can close your positions out in any order you would like.

To test out a demo account of this type of account, click here.

Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks and have a great day!

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to change the time my closed positions disappear from my closed positions tab on my market scope platform.

Reason been, of time difference.
If i have a trade open and it closes while im asleep. i still want it there in my closed positions tab so i can record it.

I know you can go to report, But whats the point of having the closed positions tabs if every 24hours it leaves the tab.

I would like to change it to a month to month basic's.

Thank raf

Hello Rafmed, and thank you for your post!


The trading history on the Trading Station II platform remains until the end of the trading day and then disappears. Can I change the time that this happens?

The functionality Trading Station clears out the trading history at the end of the trading day which is at 5PM Eastern Standard Time (EST). At this time we do not offer the functionality of changing this. The reasoning behind clearing the trading history this is to make sure that the "Closed Positions" section does not take up too much memory or RAM on your computer, which can slow down your Trading Station II platform and your execution. That's definitely not something you want especially if you are trading on a live account. As you mentioned that you already know, if you need to go back to see positions you have closed in the past you can do so by running a report directly from the Trading Station II platform. All you need to do is click on "Report" on the top right hand corner of the Trading Station II.

Once you have set up your parameters accordingly you can click on "Run Report".

Although we do not offer what you are requesting at this time, we appreciate all feedback from our clients, and you can most certainly submit any requests at anytime to us. What I'll go ahead and do is forward your suggestion to the appropriate department to see if we can add the functionality you are requesting in our next update of the Trading Station II platform. As an alternative, we also have an indicator that will show your trading history directly on the charts. Please click here (Trading History Size) for more information.


Where can I go if I would like to provide feedback, give suggestions, or make requests for changes on the Trading Station?

As mentioned before we love feedback from our clients! This is because we are always looking for ways to continuously improve your trading experience. Whenever you have anything to share with us you are more than welcome to post it on the forum, send us an email at help@fxcm.com, or by clicking on "Help" on the top right hand corner of the Trading Station and then "Provide Feedback"

From there please fill out all the required fields and click on "Send Your Request".

Do you have other Trading Station II platform questions?

Many traders find that a 5-10 minute introduction to the features of the Trading Station II platform saves them time and allows them to get fast answers. I’d like to invite you to the Live Trading Station II Walkthrough to learn more about our platform and charts. One of our specialists conduct a live demonstration followed by a question and answer period three times a day, Monday through Thursday at 11 AM, 3 PM and 10 PM ET.

Simply click here (Live Trading Station Walkthrough) to attend any of the live sessions.


If you have additional Trading Station II questions, please post your question on this thread and we will reply with an answer!
