FXCM is developing a new automated strategy platform as an alternative to the MT4 platform. The new platform is called Strategy Trader, and it is currently in beta testing. Since the platform was designed by FXCM and built for NDD execution, there are no bridges or synchronizations. Here are some of the highlights and new features for the platform:
- Tick Charts
- Create any time frame chart
- No bridges
- Advanced backtesting with detailed strategy/trade analysis
- Access to all fxcm order types
- Uses C# for coding, easy to hookup and debug in visual studio
- Over 150 chart indicators, one of the most powerful charting package to be offered by FXCM

The platform is currently in beta testing, and you're welcome to request a demo if you would like to join in on the beta testing:

A couple things to note about Strategy Trader. The platform uses exchange based execution so hedging is not available and FIFO applies. The platform will work on hedging disabled accounts. MT4 will continue to be offered alongside the Strategy Trader platform.
