Ninja Trader and FXCM

[dvercher]

Hello,

I just received my username and password for the connection of FXCM and NT, my intention is to trade cfd´s. I have got 2 questions:

1)How can I set my connection so I can trade? Is there any kind of connection guide?

2) Once the connection is established, how can established the value per point in the German Dax? As I am trading cfd´s, I want this value to be 10$/€

Thanks

Sincerely

Hello dvercher,

1. Please see the NinjaTrader FXCM connection guide at the link below.

2. Please go to Control Center-->Tools-->Instrument Manager. Type GER30_CFDEUR in the Name field and hit Search. Highlight it and click Edit. You can now change the point value as you like. Once changed, please click OK.

Remove and re-add the GER30_CFDEUR your instrument list for the change to take effect. Or just add it to your instrument list if it was not listed there before. Instructions can be found at the link below.

The point value is set to 0.1 by default. I am not aware this setting is incorrect.
