Ease of software upgrade without login to account or without visiting FXCM website, download from homepage.

And if have multiple personal computer and all installed with TS platform, then traders able to use primary computer to live trade, while updating others.

cheers
As far as I know, there is the fxupdater.exe utility (it is in the folder with TS, by default: C:/Program Files/Candleworks/FXTS2) which does not require login to TS.
But the issue is that when the updates become available, you cannot log in to TS until you update it. I guess you can run the updater before new trading week starts so the update won't take your time.
If you use FXCM Trading Station, run the updater with the following parameters:
fxupdater.exe /host www.fxcorporate.com /system Framework /connection demo /path CW2/FXCMFXTS2UpdaterDescriptor.xml

I hope this helps.

Thanks Jason, but that was not what I meant,
I really didn't make that a good question,
obviously I have been looking at to many candles,
traders are buying at ask and selling at bid
and somewhere in the midle the trade is made and closes,
we get a closing price of each individual trade which will be
somewhere in between the ask and bid.
I think it would be cool to show a close chart based on that idea,
I was refering to the post about ask bid chart messing up the
technical analysis, we can either have a bid chart or an ask chart,
and...
Aha, I see what you mean now

This may be possible through a custom indicator. I've seen the coders over at FXCodeBase create custom indicators able to overlay other chart types such as Renko and Kagi onto Marketscope. FXCodeBase takes indicator and strategy requests here http://fxcodebase.com/code/viewforum.php?f=27 if you want to ask them to create it for you.

Hi iono,

We've seen this error occur in live accounts a couple of times due to extreme latency in the connection to us. FXCM's MT4 uses NDD forex execution so there are no re-quotes; however, the messages within MT4 are set so we have no way of changing it even if the meaning of the message itself doesn't relate to what's happening on the platform. Our tech support would like to investigate what is occurring here to help resolve the problem if you could please email [email protected] with details including your account number, the ticket it was occurring on, and any other relevant details. Also cc me on the email [email protected]. Thanks for your feedback on this, and we look forward to helping.

Those selection of vids originally uploaded by ecn jesus are why I don't use mt4 anymore, and since I've changed platform and indeed broker (I've never used FXCM), I've not had a single requote, not one.

Absolutely GDR3k. Requotes are dreadful.

It is indeed a shame that 'they' have taken down ECN Jesus' website.

HighFive, your comments are not helpful for this thread, but annoying. You are posting links to some videos which don't have an actual relation with FXCM. Come back when you have evidence.

Before you accuse me of working for FXCM, what you obviously like to do, you have 13 posts and most of them are FXCM-bashing. If FXCM is so bad for you, move on, there are more than hundred other ones.

Thanks Natali. I don't know that we are able to upgrade current TS by using above command. Although it is long, I will try to execute it for the next upgrade.

By the way, it is still nice to have a feature like clicking a single menu in TS platform to update without login into account.

I don't know why but suddenly I missed DBFX with TS platform in good old days. Probably because of their currency spread.

By the way, if I recall, last time the required margin for EUR$ is $800 per standard lot, but today I just realized it is $750.

Key word: ""constructively""

You are totally welcome to share experiences, but you're not being constructive. You're being inflammatory, and you clearly are only out to cause problems.

This might be a forum, but as far as entitlements go, would the forum's admin/mod (Twee) be actively deleting your posts that are repetitive flamebait if you were entitled to act like this?

Hey Jason,
Thanks for the feed back, during the high volatility yesterday, I only received reqoutes a couple of times (not bad as it was NFP and whatnot). With that said I will start documenting and tracking.

Don't scalp, so 2.7pips or even 10pips these days wouldn't bother me, prefer the company I'm dealing with to make good money and stay in business rather than go under and lose all of my money.
