Hi Forexoil

I have an account with FXCM and I hope to start trading ATMs very soon.

In preparation for this, I've spoken to FXCM and discussed in this forum various issues, including what may be termed as 'position sizing'.

I may have an answer or may be able to direct you somewhere.

But could you be more specific about what your question refers to?

Looking forward to hearing from you - we both want to make sure our systems work.

hi
it initially showed a default 0.2million contract in the dom (which is fine and adjustable) but when using marketreplay and putting in an order it kept buying contracts. Just not working well....

I try to avoid market replay. There's no spread or slippage so it's far from the real thing. It can also have technical issues.

What it can show you can be marked by indicators on charts anyway, except, of course, for the spread or slippage.

I'm in the UK and you can trade with FXCM down to a minimum of 6p ( = £0.06 if you're not familiar with GBP). So that's real trading at very low risk. I'd try that. It's what I plan to do with my new strategy myself: it'll be the first time I'll have traded with FXCM.
