While executing with FXCM you'd want to be in NY. InterServer is who I'm looking at for my server. They're right there and have decent prices.
Even if you're close to the FXCM servers you'll still have the latency receiving the data from the Multicharts server.

Tradesize = 1% of accountbalance

Hi, I'm trading forex in Multicharts and want to be able to place trade sizes as a proportion of my total account size dynamically. So as my account increases, so does my trade size. Alternatively, if I start to have a bad run of losing trades, my trades sizes will get smaller. I've tried looking th...

Trade/Bid/Ask

Hi,

I am unsure of the best "Quote Field" to use on my charts in Multicharts.
I currently use 'trade'. My mate says I should use 'Bid' (for no real reason).

Is either setting better than the other?

Re: 1 hr Breakout strategy for fx

Hi Dave, Yeah I guess I'm talking about 2 things regarding backtesting. 1. How do I perform backtesting, using the backtesting program, and have it report accurately as if it was done in real-time (how to get tick-by-tick info on a 1hr chart). 2. When I perform basic testing while writing a strategy...

Re: Trading session times

We're getting closer!!! Thanks for that tip TJ. That will come in very handy in setting up fixed trading days and hours for each currency pair. The thing that is really confusing me is the concept of "exchange time"/"timezone" for each currency pair I trade. eg. I am going to be trading EUR/USD and ...

Print(Price) seen only as 2 decimal places instead of 4

Hi I'm a newby to Multicharts and currently have a hurdle which I'm stuck on. When I am in the Powerlanguage Editor and I'm using the print command, I notice that the price is presented only to 2 decimal places instead of 4. e.g. Print(Price) - is outputting 1.23 instead of 1.2398. Anyone know why? ...
