We will describe both sections in detail, starting with the left section.
1.1 Account
This lets you know at a glance which account you are logged into. If you have multiple FXCM accounts,
seeing your account number here is handy, so you can be sure you are trading on the account that you
meant to.
1.2 Balance
Balance refers to the funds on deposit in the account, without taking floating profits and losses into
account. For example, if you were to deposit $50,000 into the account, and then opened a few trades
that started to make money, your balance would still be $50,000. Only after you close the trade(s) and
realize your profit or loss, will the balance actually change to reflect this.
1.3 Equity
Unlike Balance, Equity DOES reflect floating profits and losses. For example, in the image below, the
balance is $50,020.44 and the equity is $58,795.44. This means that there is an open trade which is
currently floating a profit of $8,775.00. Here you can see them both side by side:
Day P/L provides the profit and loss for the current trading session. This only includes the trading
activity, not deposits and withdrawals. Day P/L resets at 5 p.m. ET (10 p.m. GMT).
Gross P/L provides the total profit and loss for current open positions excluding commission and
rollover.
This is the margin deposit required to maintain existing positions. Liquidation will trigger if Equity falls
to this amount. For example, if the used margin is currently $1,200, your equity must remain above
$1,200, to avoid a margin call.
This is the margin deposit available for opening new positions and absorbing floating losses. All po-
sitions are automatically liquidated when this amount goes below zero. You can also view Margin
information as a percentage of your total Equity.
This tells you what the level of “exposure” in your account is, or the amount of Usable Margin as a
percentage of Equity. Usable Margin Percentage is [Usbl MR] / [Equity] X 100% A�s above, all positions
are automatically liquidated when this amount goes below zero. The formula is Usable Margin / Equity
* 100, so in our example case:
57595.44
× 100 = 97.96%
58795.44
The letters in the ”MC” column denote the status of the margin call:
The right section of the Account Summary Bar starts with the “Connection Status” button:
1.10.3 Connection
1.10.4 Server
Shows you the server name of the server your account is housed on.
Displays the time zone referenced throughout the platform, whether it is UTC (Coordinated Universal
Time format), Server (Time Zone of the Server), Local (Time Zone of the Local Device), Financial Time
(the trading day beginning/ending at 5:00p.m. ET), or New York time. This time is controlled from the
Settings Menu (see the section called Trading Settings for details).
Shows you the time zone to which the FXCM server your account is housed on, is set to.
Click on this to optimize your view of the grid (the background of the platform, on which all the widgets
appear), and all widgets based on your screen size and resolution. This is especially useful after you
resize the browser. Example: If you open your browser in 800x600 and then resize it to 1200px width,
all widgets will be stretched. By clicking on the Optimize button, the grid will be optimized for the
1200px width and widgets will be resized accordingly.

The Info Button displays several important details about the selected instrument. Click on the i to open
the callout display which displays the symbol information. To close the display, click on the i again, or
click anywhere else in the browser.
2.2 Symbol
The symbol column shows the name of all the available symbols to trade with.
Here you can see the sell and the buy prices. The Sell price is the price at which short trades open and
long trades close. The Buy price is the price at which long trades open and short trades close. The
difference between the two prices is called the spread.
2.4 Spread
The difference between the price at which you can buy a pair and the price at which you can sell a pair
is called the spread.
2.5 Change %
The daily percentage change. Calculated using 17:00 ET as the start of the new trading day. The percent
change figure will be in blue if the change was positive, and red if the change was negative.
As their names imply, the rates indicated in these columns represent the Highest and Lowest prices
the currency pair has hit during the current trading day.
Rollover is the interest paid or earned for holding a position overnight (past 5p.m ET). Each currency
has an interest rate associated with it, and because forex is traded in pairs, every trade also involves
two different interest rates. RollS is the Rollover received per 100k if you sell the currency pair and
RollB is the rollover received per 100k if you buy the currency pair. The rates are quoted per contract
in CFDs.
Dividends may impact the amount of overnight costs you pay or earn on your Index CFD position. Index
CFDs are made up of a group of stocks that may pay dividends throughout the year. When a dividend
is paid on a stock, the value of the stock will drop and therefore so does the value of the index.
Short positions will be positively impacted by the drop in Index Price, while long positions are negatively
impacted.
Dividend adjustments are applied on Index CFD products to negate the impact of the drop in Index
Price.
“PIP” stands for Point In Percentage. Pip Cost is the amount you gain or lose per lot for every pip
movement in that currency pair.
2.10 Commission
Commission provides the estimated amount of the commission to be charged for a one lot position
round turn (open and close). The commission is expressed in the account currency. Note that more
than one commission can be applied to the symbol at a time. In this case the tooltip provides informa-
tion about each commission to be charged. The column may be hidden if no commission is applicable
to the account. Commission-based pricing is available on Active Trader account types. Commissions
are charged at the open and close of trades in the denomination of the account.
Some FXCM accounts utilize a Tiered Margin system which consists of an entry margin (EMR), mainte-
nance margin (MMR), and a liquidation margin (LMR). The entry and maintenance margin requirements
are generally the same and is the amount of margin required to open a new position. Liquidation Mar-
gin is generally set at half this amount.
If account equity falls below the maintenance level but stays above the liquidation level, you will enter a
margin warning and be unable to open new positions. Account equity may be increased by depositing
additional funds or by a favorable turn in the market and margin levels can be lowered by closing, one
or more, open positions.
Should your account equity fall below the liquidation margin requirement a margin call will occur.

3 Chart Widget
The chart widget is where charts can be created and displayed on any currency pair and timeframe.
You can also add indicators, see different chart types, and place trades here.
The first item on the left of the header bar on the top of the chart widget is the symbol. By clicking on
the symbol name or on the downwards arrow to its right, you can change the product being displayed.
Next to the symbol if you are in Default Trading Mode (click and confirm) you see a gap then the server
time. If you change your trading settings to One Click Trading, or to Double Click Trading, you will see
a “1” or a “2” in its place, respectively.
Next is the server time. The server time is based on the currency of the account. It can either be New
York Open/Close or GMT Open/Close.
Displayed next is the lowest price of the trading day, the highest price of the trading day, the short
rollover, and the long rollover. The rollover here is quoted in the account base unit size, meaning that
if the smallest trade your account is able to place is 1k, rollover will be quoted here per 1k lot. Rollover
in CFDs is always quoted per contract. On the far right, the ”i” icon is found next to the ant menu. This
is the Info Button:
The Info Button displays several important details about the selected instrument. Click on the i to open
the callout display which displays the symbol information. To close the display, click on the i again, or
click anywhere else in the browser.
1. Bid and ask: Here you can specify if the chart will display Bid prices or Ask prices. The Bid chart
indicates the price at which sell trades open and buy trades close. The Ask chart indicates the
price at which buy trades close and sell trades open.
2. Chart Mode: Here you can change the chart into a Candlestick chart, a Line chart, a Bar chart, or
a Table of prices.
3. Price floater: Enables or disables the floating prices.
4. Show/Hide cursor data: Enables or disables a line at the top of the platform which shows the
Open, High, Low and Close of the candle at that particular point on the chart.
5. Autoscale: This makes the chart always scale itself to fit the screen as you zoom in/out/back.
6. Lock View: Enabling this will cause the chart not to move (specifically, not to scroll right) as new
candles are created. This is most useful on low timeframes like 1 min.
7. Scroll to End: This will take the chart to its latest candle.
8. Add Indicator: From here you can add indicators to the chart.
9. Show/Hide Volume: Allows you to enable or disable a small chart at the bottom of the main chart,
which shows the tick volume as a function of time.
10. Show/Hide Histogram: Allows you to enable or disable a small chart at the bottom of the main
chart, which shows the histogram as a function of time. A histogram is a graphical representation,
similar to a bar chart in structure, that organizes a group of data points into user-specified ranges.
The histogram condenses a data series into an easily interpreted visual by taking many data points
and grouping them into logical ranges or bins.
11. Add Price Overlay: Allows you to overlay another price line on the chart to find correlations.
12. Elements: Here you can see all elements of the chart in a list (indicators, price overlays, etc.).
13. Share Chart: Allows you to share the current chart as an image or download it to your computer.
14. TradingCentral*: enables Trading Central’s chart overlay. The overlay shows resistance, support,
pivot, and important key target levels at which to enter or exit. Key levels are drawn on the chart
showing support and resistance along with Trading Central’s directional preference and com-
ments. The key levels help traders plan their entry and take profit levels. When you apply the
overlay, a pop-up window will also appear which contains a summary, explanations of the levels,
commentary, and a Trade button which triggers the Create Market Order dialogue window to
open.
*Service provider: FXCM is an independent legal entity and is not affiliated with Trading Central.
FXCM does not endorse any product or service of Trading Central.
2. Cursor Mode: This mode allows you to select the chart and move it in any direction.
3. Line: This allows you to add lines to the chart. You can add a free line, a vertical line, a horizontal
line, or a line at an angle.
4. Fibonacci mode: This allows you to add a Fibonacci indicator into the chart. You can add Fibonacci
Retracements, Expansions, Timezone, Channels, Fan, and Arcs.
5. Shape mode: This allows you to add shapes to the chart. You can add Rectangles, Ellipses, Labels,
Flags, Callouts and you can draw on a chart with a Brush.
6. Channel mode: This allows you to add Channels to the chart. You can add an Andrew’s Pitchfork,
Equidistant Channels, and Regression Channels.
7. Gann mode: This allows you to add Gann indicators to the chart. You can add Gann Retracement
and Gann Fan.
8. Arrow mark: This allows you to draw an arrow pointing to left, right, up and down. You can also
write a note, change the color of the text and the arrow.
9. Zoom mode: This allows you to zoom in and out. You can zoom by mouse by selecting a section
of the graph, or you can zoom in and out of the current graph by a set amount.
10. Eraser mode: This allows you to erase any shapes and figures added to the chart previously.
11. Ruler mode: This allows you to measure the distance between any two points. This is expressed
in two numbers, the number of candles between the two points, and the number of pips between
the (horizontal) price levels of your two points.

7.2 Trading
The first item on the main menu is Trading. Click on this to expand the Trading menu.
Figure 26: The Create Entry Order window. This window allows you to input the details of an Entry
Order. It is similar to the Market Order Window, but it also lets you specify the Rate at which to enter
a trade.
1. Account: Displays the unique ID number of the account. Click on the downward arrow to select
other linked accounts, if you are using a linked account.
2. Symbol: Displays the symbol to be bought or sold by the order. Click the downward arrow to
select another symbol. Or, click on the field and begin typing the symbol name. If the symbol you
are looking for is not listed, subscribe to it via the Subscription List.
3. Sell/Buy: Click on the radio button (circle) to control whether to open a Sell (short) trade or a Buy
(long) trade.
4. Amount / Amount (K): Describes the amount of the order. The amount is expressed in thousands
for Forex. Change the amount by typing numerals into this field, or by clicking the downward
arrow to select a trade size from the list.
5. Per Pip: Describes the amount you gain or lose for every pip movement on the order once it is
open. This amount automatically updates as you change the Amount and Symbol.
6. Usd Mr: Used Margin - This is the margin deposit required to maintain the order once it is open.

charged commission, will also have a ”Comm:” indication to the right of Usd Mr. The commission
provides the estimated amount of the commission to be charged for the position round turn.
This amount also automatically updates as you change the Amount and Symbol. This may be
hidden if no commission is applicable to the account. Commission-based pricing is available on
Active Trader account types. Commissions are charged at the open and close of trades in the
denomination of the account.
7. Rate: Price of the symbol at which you wish the order to trigger for execution.
8. Order Type: There are two Order Types to choose from when creating an Entry Order: Entry and
Range Entry.
• A regular Entry Order executes the order at the selected rate using the best price available
to FXCM from its many liquidity providers, which includes FXCM’s markup.
• A Range Entry order will only execute if the order can be filled within the defined range that
you set. For example, setting the range to 10 guarantees that the order will only execute
within a price range that is either 10 pips above or below the order price, assuming liquidity
is available. This order type is a good option when prices are volatile, like they often are
around news events.
9. Range Entry pips field: Select the number of pips above and below the selected Rate, within which
the order can be executed. Refer to Range Entry above in number 8.
10. Time In Force: selects the Time in Force for the order.
• GTC (Good Till Cancelled) ensures that your entire order is executed. GTC orders may be
broken up into partial orders if sufficient liquidity isn’t available to fill the entire order at the
best available price. GTC is not available for Market Range orders.
• GTD (Good Till Date) orders remain active until the end of the trading day (5 p.m. ET) of the
specified date, or until cancelled.
11. GTD field: This field is grayed out unless the Time in Force above is set to GTD. When selecting
GTD, enter the date until which the order will remain active.
12. Stop selection box: Click on this box to fill it with a check mark, which means that a Stop order
will be sent along with your Entry/Range Entry order.
A Stop order is designed to get you out of a position at a desired price. A Stop Loss is used to
protect against losses. Stop Orders guarantee execution but not price. Stops can be specified as
rates, but can also be entered in pips by checking of “In Pips” box at the bottom of the window.
13. Stop Rate: The rate/price of the symbol at which you wish the stop order to trigger for execution.
To the right of the Stop Rate field, you’ll see the grayed-out Stop Price to Pips or Pips to Price
Converter field: This field is always grayed out. When you enter a Stop Rate as a price, this field
will display that stop in pips (from the entry rate of the main order). When you enter a Stop Rate
in pips, this field will display your stop rate as a price.
14. Trailing stop selection box: Determines what type of Stop order you will send. Click the arrow to
view the options.
• None: Your stop order will not be a Trailing Stop order.
• Dynamic: Dynamic Trailing Stops move your stop every 0.1 pips the market moves in your
favor 0.1 pips. The 0.1 Pip move cannot be changed. For example, let’s say we set our dy-
namic stop initially at -10 pips and then the trade moves in our favor 1 pip. Our stop would
move 1 pip from -10 pips to -9 pips.
• Fixed: Fixed Trailing Stops trail your stop by a fixed amount of pips as the market moves in
your favor. This results in a Stop that waits for a certain number of pips to be accrued before
moving. The minimum Fixed distance is 10 Pips. For example, let’s say we had an initial -50
pip stop loss that we set to trail with a fixed-step of 10. Our stop will stay at -50 until the price
moves in our favor a full 10 pips. Once +10 pips of floating profit is reached on the trade, our
fixed-step stop would jump from -50 to -40. Our stop would then stay at -40 until the price
moved in our favor another 10 pips up to +20 pips total.
15. Fixed trailing stop pip amount selection box: This field is grayed out unless you select Fixed (see
number 14 above). Enter the number of pips (10 minimum) your fixed trailing stop will trail by
and move by incrementally.
16. Limit selection box: Click on this box to fill it with a check mark, which means that a Limit order
will be sent along with your Entry/Range Entry order.
A Limit is designed to get you out of a position at a desired price. A Limit is used to capture profits.
Limit Orders guarantee price but not execution. Limits can be specified as rates, but can also be
entered in pips by checking of “In Pips” at the bottom of the window.
17. Limit Rate: The rate/price of the symbol at which you wish the limit order to trigger for execution.
To the right of the Limit Rate field, you’ll see the grayed-out Limit Price to Pips or Pips to Price
Converter field: This field is always grayed out. When you enter a Limit Rate as a price, this field
will display that limit in pips (from the entry rate of the main order). When you enter a Limit Rate
in pips, this field will display your limit rate as a price.
18. Profit/Loss projection section: Displays the projected P/L of the trade in the currency of your
account, should your stop or limit be executed at the selected rates.
19. In pips selection box: Click on this box to fill it with a check mark, and subsequently the Stop and
Limit rates will be described in pips instead of with exact price quotes.
20. OK button: Click to send your order along with any attached stop/limit order(s).
21. Cancel button: Click to cancel the order.
22. Advanced button: Click to hide/show the advanced options: Time in Force, Stop, Limit, and In
pips.
Complex OCO Orders allow you to link together any number of Entry Orders, including ones for differ-
ent currency pairs. If any one of those entry orders executes, all of the others that are linked to it will
automatically cancel. Complex OCO orders are great way to manage multiple trading strategies at one
time.
The Complex OCO Window will show you a list of existing entry orders. In addition, you can also place
new Entry Orders via this screen. Select the order you want to be OCO, and click Add. It will now show
up in the OCO Order section. Repeat this for every order you want to be OCO. You can remove any
order you move to the OCO Order window by clicking on it once, and then clicking on the Remove
button. After you are happy with your OCO selections, click ‘OK’. Click ’Cancel’ to cancel the order.
Users now have the ability to utilize contingent orders via the latest version of the Trading Station
platform. Contingent orders are a group of complex order types that give you up to 5 different ways
of linking two or more orders together.
A contingent order gives you the ability to link two or more stop entry, limit entry, or range entry orders
so that they are dependent on one another. Furthermore, you can mix multiple forex pairs or CFDs
together in these orders as desired.
1. An OCO (ie one cancels other) order allows you to link two orders where when one is triggered
for execution, the other is canceled. This order type is not new, but worth reviewing, as some of
our new order types include OCO orders as one component.
2. An OTO (ie one triggers other) order allows you to link two orders so that when your primary
order is triggered, your secondary order will then be activated and become a pending order.
When the market reaches the entry rate of the secondary order, the secondary order will trigger
for execution.
3. An OTOCO (ie one triggers a one-cancels-the-other-order) links three orders, so that when the
primary order is triggered, the OCO order (which is comprised of two orders) is then activated to
trigger for execution once the market reaches one of the OCO order rates.
4. An If-Then order allows you to specify a price that, when reached, will activate an entry order to
be triggered at the price you specify.
5. An If-Then OCO order allows you to specify a price that, when reached, will activate an OCO order.
You can manage your contingent orders via the orders tab in the Trading Station window. In the orders
view, you will see labeled groupings of contingent orders that you have submitted. Within this window,
you can click and drag each individual order and link it into a different group of contingent orders if
desired. For instance, you could add more orders to a previously-submitted OTO order (making it a
complex OTO order). Or you could remove orders from their contingencies, or even combine groups
of contingent orders.
Please note that the order type of your contingent orders will be a SE (Stop Entry), LE (Limit Entry), or RE
(Range Entry) order. These order types are determined by at what rate the order is placed in relation
to the rate of the primary order, when the two contingent orders are of the same pair. If the two
contingent orders are for different instruments (for example, when your primary trade is on EUR/USD
and your contingent orders are on Gold), then the secondary order will be a Stop Entry or Limit Entry in
relation to the market rate of the product traded in that particular order (in this example the secondary
order type will be in relation to the gold rate at the time of order placement).
For a contingent order with two or more orders of the same pair, the following are different scenarios,
and the order types that will be created with them.
• If it is a Buy order and the rate is above the primary order rate, it will create an SE order.
• If the order is a Buy order and the rate is below the primary order rate, it will create an LE order.
• If the order is a Sell order and the rate is above the primary order rate, it will create an LE order.
• If the order is Sell order and the rate is below the primary order rate, it will create an SE order.
If an order is dragged out from a contingency order or placed in another contingency group, the order
type (Stop Entry, Limit Entry, or Range Entry) will remain the same. In the case where the order is
pulled out of all contingent orders, that order will immediately begin “watching” the market rate and
be triggered as soon as the price is hit, just like any other standalone entry order.

• A Market Range order will only execute if the order can be filled within the defined range
that you set. For example, setting the range to 10 guarantees that the order will only execute
within a price range that is either 10 pips above or below the order price, assuming liquidity is
available. This order type is a good option when prices are volatile like they often are around
news events.
9. Market Range pips field: Select the number of fractional pips above and below the selected Rate,
within which the order can be executed. Refer to Market Range order type above in number 8.
10. Time In Force: selects the Time in Force for the order.
• GTC (Good Till Cancelled) ensures that your entire order is executed. GTC orders may be
broken up into partial orders if sufficient liquidity isn’t available to fill the entire order at the
best available price. GTC is not available for Market Range orders.
• IOC (Immediate or Cancel) fills as much of your order as possible at the best available price.
If the entire order cannot be filled at the best available price, the remainder cancels.
• FOK (Fill or Kill) when you want your entire order filled at the best available price. If the entire
order cannot be filled at the best available price, the entire order cancels (no partial orders).
11. Stop selection box: Click on this box to fill it with a check mark, which means that a Stop order
will be sent along with your Market order.
A Stop order is designed to get you out of a position at a desired price. A Stop Loss is used to
protect against losses. Stop Orders guarantee execution but not price. Stops can be specified as
rates, but can also be entered in pips by checking of “In Pips” box at the bottom of the window.
12. Stop Rate: The rate/price of the symbol at which you wish the stop order to trigger for execution.
Stop Price to Pips or Pips to Price Converter field: This field is always grayed out. When you enter
a Stop Rate as a price, this field will display that stop in pips (from the rate of the main order).
When you enter a Stop Rate in pips, this field will display your stop rate as a price.
13. Trailing stop selection box: Determines what type of Stop order you will send. Click the arrow to
view the options.
• None: Your stop order will not be a Trailing Stop order.
• Dynamic: Dynamic Trailing Stops move your stop every 0.1 pips the market moves in your
favor 0.1 pips. The 0.1 Pip move cannot be changed. For example, let’s say we set our dy-
namic stop initially at -10 pips and then the trade moves in our favor 1 pip. Our stop would
move 1 pip from -10 pips to -9 pips.
• Fixed: Fixed Trailing Stops trail your stop by a fixed amount of pips as the market moves in
your favor. This results in a Stop that waits for a certain number of pips to be accrued before
moving. The minimum Fixed distance is 10 Pips. For example, let’s say we had an initial -50
pip stop loss that we set to trail with a fixed-step of 10. Our stop will stay at -50 until the price
moves in our favor a full 10 pips. Once +10 pips of floating profit is reached on the trade, our
fixed-step stop would jump from -50 to -40. Our stop would then stay at -40 until the price
moved in our favor another 10 pips up to +20 pips total.
14. Fixed trailing stop pip amount selection box: This field is grayed out unless you select Fixed (see
number 14 above). Enter the number of pips (10 minimum) your fixed trailing stop will trail by
and move by incrementally.
15. Limit selection box: Click on this box to fill it with a check mark, which means that a Limit order
will be sent along with your Entry/Range Entry order.
A Limit is designed to get you out of a position at a desired price. A Limit is used to capture profits.
Limit Orders guarantee price but not execution. Limits can be specified as rates, but can also be
entered in pips by checking of “In Pips” at the bottom of the window.
16. Limit Rate: The rate/price of the symbol at which you wish the limit order to trigger for execution.
Limit Price to Pips or Pips to Price Converter field: This field is always grayed out. When you enter
a Limit Rate as a price, this field will display that limit in pips (from the entry rate of the main
order). When you enter a Limit Rate in pips, this field will display your limit rate as a price.
17. Profit/Loss projection section: Displays the projected P/L of the trade in the currency of your
account, should your stop or limit be executed at the selected rates.
18. In pips selection box: Click on this box to fill it with a check mark, and subsequently the Stop and
Limit rates will be described in pips instead of with exact price quotes.
19. OK button: Click to send your order along with any attached stop/limit order(s).
20. Cancel button: Click to cancel the order.
21. Advanced button: Click to hide/show the advanced options: Time in Force, Stop, Limit, and In
pips.
This item will be ”clickable” when you have an open long (buy) position(s), AND once you go to the
Summary tab of the Accounts and Orders widget and highlight the desired item.
This item will be ”clickable” when you have an open short (sell) position(s), AND once you go to the
Summary tab of the Accounts and Orders widget and highlight the desired item.
The Close Position window allows you to change/verify the details of what position you are closing, and
how you are requesting to close it. This includes general options such as the ticket number/trade you
are closing and the amount, but also specifics such as the Order Type and Time in Force. Commission
is also displayed according to the Amount if applicable.
The Close All Positions window allows you to see the details of your open positions, and allows you to
choose the Order Type and Time In Force.
• IOC (Immediate or Cancel) fills as much of your order as possible at the best available price.
If the entire order cannot be filled at the best available price, the remainder cancels.
• FOK (Fill or Kill) when you want your entire order filled at the best available price. If the entire
order cannot be filled at the best available price, the entire order cancels (no partial orders).
8. Cancel button: cancels the close all positions orders
9. OK button: sends the order to close all positions as instructed

symbol, and allows you to choose the Order Type and Time In Force for closing them.
1. Symbol: Dropdown menu to select the symbol in which you will close all open positions.
4. Total line
5. Order Type: There are two Order Types to choose from when closing all positions: At Market and
Market Range.
• At Market executes the orders at the best price available to FXCM from its many liquidity
providers, which includes FXCM’s markup.
• Market Range orders will only execute if the order can be filled within the defined range that
you set. For example, setting the range to 10 guarantees that the order will only execute
within a price range that is either 10 pips above or below the order price, assuming liquidity
is available. This order type is a good option when prices are volatile like they often are
around news events.
6. Market Range pips field: Select the number of fractional pips above and below the current rates,
within which the orders can be executed.
7. Time In Force: selects the Time in Force for the orders.
• GTC (Good Till Cancelled) ensures that your entire order is executed. GTC orders may be

7.4 Widgets
One of the best features of TS Web 2.0 is that you can easily manipulate the widgets to set up the plat-
form just the way you like it. Widgets are a unique feature of the platform, which provides integrated
trading tools for our users. Videos, the Economic Calendar, Trading Signals and more are all completely
integrated and can be added to your trading experience with just one click.
Figure 36: The Add Widget button appears under the account number on the top right corner.
7.4.1 Chart
Select a symbol from the dropdown menu and click Add. See the Chart Widget section for details on
the widget itself.
Select a symbol from the dropdown menu and click Add. This is what a price panel looks like once it’s
placed on your platform:
3. Timestamp: this timestamp describes the time the rate last changed.
4. Spread: the difference between the bid and the ask price.
5. Info Button: The Info Button displays several important details about the selected instrument.
Click on the i to open the callout display which displays the symbol information. To close the
display, click on the i again, or click anywhere else in the browser. For further details, see section
3.1 and 3.1.1 in this guide.
6. Ant menu: click here to view widget options (see Widget Modifications section)
7. Sell (bid) price quote. When a price flashes red, it represents a downward movement from the
previous price. When a price flashes blue, it represents an upward movement from the previous
price. Indicates the price at which sell trades open and buy trades close.
8. Buy (ask) price quote. When a price flashes red, it represents a downward movement from the
previous price. When a price flashes blue, it represents an upward movement from the previous
price. Indicates the price at which buy trades open and sell trades close.
9. Low: indicates the lowest price of the current trading day.
10. High: indicates the highest price of the current trading day.
11. Position size: this section will be grayed out in the default mode (click and confirm). However
when the platform is set to ”one click” or ”double-click” trading, this section will allow users to
enter the position sizes (in K) in which trades will be opened.
12. Roll S: Indicates the rollover received for short positions. Rollover is the interest paid or earned
for holding a position overnight (past 5p.m ET). Each currency has an interest rate associated with
it, and because forex is traded in pairs, every trade also involves two different interest rates.
13. Roll S: Indicate the rollover received for long positions. Rollover is the interest paid or earned for
holding a position overnight (past 5p.m ET). Each currency has an interest rate associated with it,
and because forex is traded in pairs, every trade also involves two different interest rates.
14. Per Pip: Describes the amount you gain or lose for every pip movement for a pre-selected trade
amount (in the Position Size box mention above). The pip cost is the amount you gain or lose for
every pip movement in that currency pair. This amount automatically updates as you change the
Position Size (during One-Click and Double-Click trading) and Symbol.
15. Usd Mr: Used Margin - This is the amount of margin used to open/maintain the open position.
This amount automatically updates as you change the Position Size (during One-Click and Double-
Click trading) and Symbol.
16. Change: indicates the percentage of change in the price of the instrument since the prior trading
day.
Click on Add to add this widget to your platform, if it is not already displayed there. This is where all
the live-streaming prices are listed in table form with several useful details to consider while trading.

Click on Add to add this widget to your platform, if it is not already displayed there. This table shows
pertinent account information. See the Accounts and Orders Widget section for details on the widget
itself.
Click on Add to add this widget to your platform. You can add multiple Custom Tab widgets to your plat-
form if you desire. This widget allows you to layer multiple charts, tables, and other widgets together
into the same box using tabs.
Figure 39: The Custom Tabs Widget. Note the various tabs along the top of this widget in the above
image.
Tip: you can make this Custom Tabs widget full screen and add any data from the other widgets into it,
so it works as an alternative to the infinite grid layout with the widgets spread across it. This way you
don’t need to scroll up and down or sideways to see all of your widgets, since they’ll all be accessible
via the tabs.
Click add in case you prefer to keep the list of symbols/instruments handy on your platform, instead
of opening the Subscription List from this menu each time you want to subscribe or unsubscribe from
a symbol.
A calendar used for the purpose of tracking the occurrence of market-moving events. Investors will
research the date and time of a specific event and pay close attention to the announcement because
of the high probability that it will affect the direction of the market.
7.4.8 News
FXCM Market Data Signals offers powerful insights to help you find potential trading opportunities.
With FXCM Market Data, you stay up to speed on the latest prices, volume trends, and trading sentiment
trends of many instruments. Get a quick snapshot of the market through our propriety Speculative
Sentiment Index (SSI), and more.
7.4.10 SSI
The Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI) is a proprietary tool offered by FXCM. Most technical indicators,
such as moving averages, use past data and in a certain sense are always looking backwards to under-
stand trends. The SSI, however, analyses current data and is considered a leading indicator, meaning
it can often signal a change in market direction before the change happens. Please have in mind that
the indicator does not predict the future, and is not investment advice. The index is published twice a
day by FXCM.
The SSI focuses on buyers and sellers, comparing how many are active in the market and producing a
ratio to indicate how traders are behaving in relation to a particular currency pair at any given time. A
positive ratio indicates more buyers are in the market than sellers, while a negative ratio indicates that
more sellers are in the market.
For example, if the SSI indicator shows a reading of -4.59, it means there are 4.59 sellers in the market
for every 1 buyer, and shows there is an overall preference for selling at the moment. If the indicator
shows a positive reading of 3.26, it means there are 3.26 buyers in the market for every seller, and
shows there is an overall preference for buying at the moment. Each trader account is counted only
one time regardless of the size of their trade.
Generally, the index is considered as giving a stronger signal about buyer and seller trends above pos-
itive levels of 2 and below negative levels of -2. SSI levels of 2 or lower are considered weaker signals
of sentiment.
7.4.11 Videos
The Videos widget lists helpful videos about FXCM platforms, markets, and trading.
Discover new trade ideas based on market movements. You can add the Trading Central* widget

The Dividend Calendar Widget features dividend paying stocks as well as the ex-dividend dates.
Dividends may impact the amount of overnight costs you pay or earn on your Share CFD position(s). When
a dividend is paid on a stock, the value of the stock will drop and therefore so does the value of the
position.
Short positions will be positively impacted by the drop in price, while long positions are negatively
impacted.
Dividend adjustments are applied on Share CFD products to negate the impact of the drop in price.

7.6 Report
Clicking Report will allow you to create reports showing account activity.
Next to Accounts, choose the account number. Next to Type, you can choose Combined Account State-
ment or Statement Summary.
A Combined Account Statement includes details of all of your open positions, closed positions, entry
orders, stops/limits, and account activity for the dates specified. A Statement Summary includes only
your closed trade list and a short account summary (beginning/ending balance, floating P/L, equity,
necessary margin, and usable margin).
You are able to select specific dates your report will cover by using the From and To fields. To generate
a report for the entire life of your account, select the ”Since Open” checkbox next to ”From:” and the
”Now” checkbox next to ”To”. or to see an entire account history, you can select the Since Open and
Now options.
At this time, the report can only be displayed in HTML format, but more options may be added to this
menu.
After you click on Run report, the report will load in a new popup window.
Click the Trading Analytics button to be taken to the Trading Analytics site in a new browser tab or
window.
Clients must login with their real username and password to see the relevant statistics.
Trading Analytics is a tool designed to help FXCM clients analyze the performance of their trading ac-
counts through helpful charts and tables. Providing a visual display of trading performance, risk/reward,
and profitability by time/symbol can help FXCM clients to better understand and improve their trading
habits.
Once logged in, you will immediately see the Performance Details tab which is used to reference a list
of key statistics on your account. This section provides a big picture overview of past performance
according to 4 different criteria: Equity, % Returns, Drawdown, and Exposure. Please note that past
performance is not an indicator of future results.
Let’s have a look at what these four criteria actually mean:
• Equity: Displays a chart of account equity over time. Equity refers to the balance of the account
+/- the profit/loss of any open positions
• % Returns: Displays a chart of profits and loss over time relative to the account’s equity. Deposits
and withdrawals are accounted for the in equity calculation.
• Drawdown: Displays a chart of percentage rolling returns relative to account drawdown. Draw-
dawn is different from % returns since it is calculated relative to the most recent peak equity of
the account, and not the beginning of the selected period.
• Exposure: Displays a chart of account exposure over time. This value is based on the current
open positions open on the account. For example, a 1k open trade on EURUSD would display as
exposure: 1000.
There is an adjustable Zoom window below the main graph wherein you can achieve a closer look into
a specific time period. The page also provides a breakdown of relevant account statistics in a multitude
of categories.
Scrolling down we can see Account Statistics and Transactions
The account statistics panel displays a summary of important account statistics. The panel has a tooltip
that provides the definition and details about the calculation of each field.
• The Gross PNL is your Profit or Loss before any applicable fees (rollover, commission, etc.).
• Net PNL is your realized Profit or Loss.
• Cumulative Return is the compounded percentage return of the account over the entire lifetime
of the account.
• Compound ROR is the compounded monthly rate of return of the account.
• Percentage of Profitable Trades is a percentage of all profitable trades in relation to all trades
closed in the account.
• Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the return and risk relationship of the account. It is calculated by
subtracting the risk-free rate from the average monthly return and then dividing the difference
by the standard deviation of the monthly return. Please note that risk-free rates used in these
calculations are different according to the base currency of the accounts. For example, for US-
based accounts, BBA LIBOR USD 3 Month is taken as the risk-free rate.
• Drawdown is the percentage of your current equity with relation to your most recent peak equity.
The difference between the current equity and the most recent peak equity is also known as a
‘Drawdown’ (note: calculations would not include DWX)
• Max Drawdown is the percentage of the largest percentage Drawdown that you have experienced
since the account inception. (note: calculations would not include DWX)
• Max Drawdown Date is the day that your account experienced the maximum percentage Draw-
down.
