I use Jforex but use MT4 for charting and the higherframes overlays. If some coder could make custom indicators it could be used on jforex as well. That way you don't need MT4 anymore.

You can contact molecule6 which i recommend because of the rebates. I only can offer the vice president as your account manager without the rebates. The choice is up to you.

If you go to strategy editor you can convert some MT4 indicators to be used in JForex.

Never tried it though so don't know if it works.

I got this from the Chris Mercer the MBT director this morning:


Justin forwarded me your email. I run the MetaTrader project here at MB. I have reviewed your trade in question and also have answers to the open questions in your email below. Also, Justin has posted an additional response on the FF thread (#5628) regarding specifically how market orders work. Here?s the link:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost.ph ... count=5628


?All orders on the ECN were wiped in a second??what does that mean?

It means that we have thousands of customers trading with us, many using very sophisticated boxes to trade quickly. When news hits, there are hundreds or even thousands of orders that hit our system instantly. The odds that there would be any customer orders sitting as limits on the bid or ask within a second or two after news hits is unlikely. These guys are just too fast.

Regarding your order, I have gone through and checked the handling process for it. There was no point where it got stuck at a destination waiting for a fill and no point where any destination took longer than a second or two to reply, which is within our parameters of what their systems need to be able to do. It was simply the case that the market became extremely illiquid at the time for about a minute, and everywhere we tried to route an order because there was a bid was already hit by someone else. Doesn?t happen often, but that was an unusual time of day for surprise news to hit the market, and everyone simply backpedaled away. The issue to us is whether or not the system handled your order properly or not by continuing to attempt to hit providers, and it did. Therefore, no credit can be given on the trade.

Fast market conditions are a risk of trading in the FOREX market. The only thing that we can do is make sure that our system is attempting to route your trade out properly, which it did.


[glow=red]"Doesn't happen often"[/glow]

I hope not but I'm asking them now if they have hard facts to show to me

So it did boil down to this question: Who is at fault, no liquidity or their system? They say no liquidity, so what can I say? I can't prove this from my end.

Still fighting them but it looks like I need to take it up the backside like a good little doggy :cry:
WAS A YALE STUDENT. Now? Let's see!

That's why most brokers refuse to tell what is their liquidity provider...

You need to have them show you the tick by tick replay.

But part of the problem is that dang 5th decimal.

If your stop was at 1.50010 and price is moving down... it could move down like this on the ask

1.500150
1.500120
1.500090

You do NOT get filled at 1.500100 because there is NO LIQUIDITY at that level... meaning no one is will to buy at 1.500100.

I told EFX at the time that the 5th decimal was NOT a good idea.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU TRADE, IT'S HOW YOU TRADE IT!

Please do NOT PM me with trading or coding questions, post them in a thread.

I believe a hard stop loss turns market on MT4.

I guess that I do not understand why you are worrying about risk when you are so deep in profit.

If you were planning on moving your average down to a 40% RET between your average price and your next entry then you should consider the risk of such a play.

You should only be thinking about resistance and how fast or slow you should bring your average price down behind the trend.

That last red candle closed larger than all the bodies in that picture and I would have placed a limit order on the low extreme.

Once I exited at the best price I would follow the rest of my plan...

Price closed over a line that you believed to be support and that is the first indication that something is WRONG-MO
