NT8 and FXCM

[Trader_55]

I cannot say for sure, but in my experience as long as you are not taking any actions that would disable a subscription, then NT7 should not disabled either. The reason I cannot say for sure is that I do not know if there is another action you are taking that is causing the symbols to unsubscribed.

Thanks, good to know... I will let you know if I experience anything else. So far this week has been free of disconnections, which is a good sign.

That is good to hear, thanks for the update. I've been testing FXCM adapter all week with roughly 40 symbols at a time and has been fine for me - will keep an eye out during the economic events tomorrow as well.

its been over a week since my last disconnection/freeze. But thing are starting to lag.... CPU use 100% on trade. 10% normally

I have been using NT8 with FXCM since October and have not had any issues.

Sorry is that "NT7 has been" or "NT8" has been?

Have you sent in your log and trace files?

To be clear: It's the market data that is freezing, or the connection?

Are you able to interact with the UI during these periods? Can you reload your chart? Is it just the real-time feed that is not updating?

[radicaltrader]

yes i have sent trace and log files twice which didn't show any problems.

market data is freezing... I still have a green connection light..... refreshing chart does not restore market data.

I have stopped trading now and running the VPS with a demo FXCM connection.
I have installed NT on my local PC and running my live FXCM connection on that trading to sim.

I have not had a market data freeze so far.

Its very frustrating

[radicaltrader]

that's NT7

Are there any tool out there that you can bounce a FXCM connection without stopping a strategy? Paid or not paid tools.
