#** Account Settings Tab: Please get the Login, Password, and Account information from the broker. In the '''Connection''' setting, select Demo to connect to the demo account or Real to the real trading account.<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: Due to FXCM's restrictions, MultiCharts will not send limit or stop orders to FXCM. All limit or stop orders will be sent as market orders.</div>
#** Symbol Dictionary Tab: If the data source is different from the execution gateway, it is possible that they do not use the same symbol for the same contract. In this situation, the chart, because it is plotted from the data source, will send an order using the data source’s symbol. The execution gateway will not understand the data source’s symbol and will reject the signal. Symbol Dictionary solves this problem by matching the symbol from the data source to the symbol from the execution gateway. The table has two columns. Input the symbol from the data source under the Chart column. Input the symbol from FXCM under the Currency Column.
