Hello,

Is there a way to plot and trade CFD indexes from FCXM broker. I know we've to subscribe MCFX for FXCM forex data feed but I've no idea for fxcm cfd's.

Hello mickatrade,

There is no way to do that.

Henry MultiСharts

Thanks Henry! Sounds good. Re: the OPT Positions History display, a few more minor comments - I don't find either the zero or non-zero Average Prices to be of any use. I'd prefer to see the EntryPrice and ExitPrice instead (column could be called Trade Price). http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/...

Henry MultiСharts

The reason of this behavior was the "Format Study" window that opened up behind the DOM window.

Henry MultiСharts

Speaking of the OPT, I would love to see the Trade Summary page operate correctly while there is a position open. Currently (at least for me, and completely consistently) the Trade Summary page operates well when I am completely flat, but produces nonsense whenever a position is open (this is with ...
