volume or tick count for forex

hello all,

I'm corrently using saxo bank to trade forex with MC, but very unfortunately, they don't provide any volume or tick count data on forex.
I'm based in hk, would anyone know which broker does provide that data please? IBKR maybe?

Thank you!

Re: Stop trading for the day after profit reached

sorry, another beginner's question. Considering i'm trading FX pairs (eg. EURJPY), which could be different from my MC settings for base currency, which is USD. Are those NetProfit and OpenPositionProfit functions giving me amounts in base currency, ie. USD? or in EUR? or JPY?

thanks!
