This does not matter to us. But if you are interested in trading an actual FXCM account through Sierra Chart, we really do not recommend this. It is a service we are phasing out.

We will continue to provide FXCM market data.

We cannot make this recommendation. Really the only practical choice would be Interactive Brokers. We do not recommend LMAX and there is very little use of LMAX among Sierra Chart users. Really, if you are interested in Forex trading Sierra Chart is not for you.

What you can do is use the FXCM Forex data when using Interactive Brokers. This way you will have better quality Forex charts and then trade through Interactive Brokers. Instructions for this are here:

that is actually a good suggestion !

1) is an fxcm account required (in addition to SC and ibkr) to implement your suggestion?

2) are there studies to calculate dollar value from pips ( for e.g...i need to find the dollar value of the difference between two points on the chart given in pips )

3) is there a pip calculator study/tool similar to this website:

We apologize for the delay.

1. No definitely you do not need an FXCM account at all.

2. Yes. Refer to:
