hi,

I've just opened a demo account with FXCM. The interface looks abit different. is there anyone who is kind enough to guide me on installing EA in their trading station?

Thanks alot!

There trading station II does not support scripting or EA's of any sort which means you can't have FAP run on it which is a pity because they are one of the better brokers out there

As of quite recently they do support MT4 but you need a starting balance of $5000 and you can't test on demo.

You can have Zulutrade (http://www.zulutrade.com) which is a third party system selector to execute trades on your behalf at FXCM. You can open a demo with Zulutrade for 30 days - one of the good system selectors is FX Markets.

Or you can try FXCM's own system selector (http://www.fxcm.com/forex-system-selector.jsp) but the interface is not as good as at Zulutrade.

The only catch is that you can only do it on a standard account with a startup balance of $2000.

oh okay! thanks alot!

FXCM has MT4 support btw, but the minimum account size I believe is $5K.

If any of you dudes wants rebates on FXCM trades give me a shout. I'm one of their IBs (introducing brokers)..

Personally I haven't tried their MT4 platform though. I like their TradeStation II system - good for manual trading.

I get the message " Is you account set to trade only 1 decimal place? We recommend 2 decimal places for lot sizes if possibble."

Is there somewhere or something that has to be change within the MT4 platform or the broker account itself?
