EXPERT ADVISOR (EA) USERS:
Optimise Performance with FXCM's No Dealing Desk Execution
We believe automated systems can be optimised when trades are executed anonymously. With FXCM's No Dealing Desk** execution that's exactly what you get: anonymous trade execution with over ten of the world's largest banks and price providers. That's why we recommend MetaTrader 4 to traders who automate their trades with EAs.
MetaTrader 4 was not originally designed for No Dealing Desk execution. However, we have worked with a third party (Boston Technologies) to make it compatible and to bring you the benefits of FXCM's No Dealing Desk execution. Read the MT4 FAQ
FXCM's MetaTrader 4 accepts all EAs, including scalping EAs, and provides free VPS hosting for account balances over $5000. If you do not meet this requirement, a fee of $30 may be debited from your account to cover server cost.
