I read the help, and watched the video, and read all the rules. I am not a stupid person, but this IDS has me so confused I simply can not deal with it. I can tell you that I certainly won't be putting my money in FX Club's hands until I have a good grasp of the trading platform.

What particular problems do you have with IDS. Any platform takes time to adjust to and get use to. You can't just jump on and know everthing i used many platforms and it takes some time!!!!
What is the most confusing ?? what problems??

Well I think it is moreso with the actual game rules. No matter what trade (yesterday was chf) I try to do, I get a message that it is too close to the spread or too far from the market. I am fairly new at this stuff, but I understand how the ids platform is supposed to work, and coming from a fortune 100 background and stock trades, I have a fairly strong grasp on reading charts and navigating this kind of information.

I think my main problem is not really in interpreting the software, but in actually completing the trade. I don't understand when I should use the 'dealer' trade with the buy/sell buttons or the 'place trade' section, but either one I use it just tells me that it is declined because it is too close to the spread or too far from the market.

I understand what the spread is, I am just not sure how this works into the actual trade system.

Thanks for your help. I know, Im such a n00b! :p

Actually I figured it out I think....I managed to lose 100$ in like ten minutes. I can do that at the casino, ha ha ha!

Guess I needed to be more patient with myself. Plus I think there was a problem with CFH last night since they were switching to JPY for May 1st.....

I didn't say you were a stupid person and my post wasn't addressed to you. :)

When you place an order it should be at least 10 p. far from the current price. Be attentive: buy orders must be at least 10 p. far from the ask price.

No worries, I was more saying that for my own certification---you know, the whole self-actualization theory :p

OK I finally placed and order, so we'll see how it goes from there.

This is kinda neat because it prepares me for when I actually plan on trading--I'll know what NOT to do:eek:

Don't worry, this is what L2W is designed for and actually, we have special secret prizes that have not been announced yet. Just keep playing:)

I hpoe you get more joy with Rumus2.

FYI you select your pair in IDS in the dropdown menu in deal. Take a look at the attachment:

The way you close deals is to open an equal and opposite position. So if you want to close a BUY 0.1 EUR, you SELL 0.1 EUR.

Hope this helps

well thank you for that info.. what if i want to open both buy and sell with the same pair? is it not allowed her in fxclub? :) just askin..

[Dennis Carr]

Sorry, mate - you can't do that on this platform.

If you open a position on the same pair against a current position, then you'll either reduce, close or reverse the original position

You can always open a second account for hedging :p
