Previously the Strategies window and the Positions window below it were both fixed in size. Now however we have added a new “sliding bar” which allows you to change the size of the windows to suit your needs at any given time.
We hope this gives you more flexibility and comfort in using the Autotrading platform……. And please Watch This Space for our next release… coming soon!
On Tuesday 18th December 2012, FxStat released the “new look” member’s profile page.
We took the old profile page layout and gave it a complete make-over.
The profile page is the opportunity all members have to personalise their profile and allow other members to find out a little bit more about who you are, how you trade, and most importantly displays your account performances that each member has added to their profile.
We would encourage all users to upload a picture as this can really bring your profile page to life. There is also a “Biography” section where members can write a little about who they are, what their objectives are, etc.
There is a tally that shows how many followers a particular member has at any one point and there is the by-now very familiar stream of Activity that is displayed which shows all activity that is related to this profile, regardless of which trading account this activity takes place.
Finally, FxStat is of course a Social Trading website and a profile page would not be complete without displaying all a member’s connections. This allows other members to connect and interact with other members and their connections.
So keep an eye out for the next Press Release and Happy Trading!
We wish to highlight news of an existing feature which has now been added in an extra location on the Autotrading Platform for your convenience, ease of access and improved usability of the facility itself.
The Activity Stream
Many of you will have noticed the constant, dynamic, flowing live feed of ‘Activity news’ that is now a familiar site on the Dashboard/Home screen of the Autotrading Platform. Recently, we also released news of the new “Copy Trade” feature which allows any member to directly copy a trade onto their real Autotrading account from the “Activity Stream” itself.
To make things much easier, more convenient and more user friendly to our members, we have now added the Activity Stream in the top right window of the Autotrading platform, next to the “Strategies” tab and the “Statistics” tab.
This now means that whether you are just monitoring your Autotrading account, or searching for a new Signal Provider, or making changes to the settings, or even if you are closing positions manually, you can still keep a close eye on the “Activity Stream” so that you never miss an opportunity to pick up a “free” tip and take advantage of the moving markets.
Once you complete the Copy Trade instruction via the pop-up window (as normal), it will instantly be viewable in the Positions window, without the need to move from one page of the Autotrading platform to another.
From the Autotrading platform, any copied trade copied via the Activity Stream will be highlighted as “copied from activity stream” to differentiate this trade from other manual trades and other ‘auto-trades’.
We do and will continually strive to make improvements to the Autotrading system and to FxStat.com, no matter how big or small. It is our mission to give members and all users the smoothest and best Autotrading experience on the Net.
So keep an eye out for the next Press Release and Happy Trading!
One of the new features we have recently released is the manual “copy trade” feature available via the Activity Stream, both on FxStat.com AND on your own broker Autotrading platform (e.g.: yourbroker.fxstat.com).
The Activity Stream is a constant live feed of members’ activities on the Social Trading website we created. This can range from thoughts they wish to share with other members, selective posts made in the Forums discussion sections, financial and economic news as well as other members’ trading activity, both from Verified Real accounts as well as Verified Demo accounts.
We have been working behind the scenes and have now made it possible for any member on FxStat with an existing Autotrading account (either with one of our partner brokers or with a Pay-As-You-Go account) to instantly and manually copy the trade of any trader who opens a new position which is displayed on the Activity Stream.
From this window, a member must select the parameters under which this trade will be copied as well as the trading account they wish for the trade to be copied into. Once everything has been selected, a user can click “Copy to My Account” to complete the order.
From the Autotrading platform, any copied trade copied via the Activity Stream will be highlighted as “copied from activity stream” to differentiate this trade from other manual trades and other ‘auto-trades’.
A word of caution:- users/followers/autotraders must note that any new trade “copied” in this way will have to be managed and closed by themselves and will not be closed automatically when the trader who’s trade is being copied closes his/her position. Alternatively set the appropriate Stop Loss/Take Profit levels and the trade will close automatically once one of those levels is reached.
The Blender is a back-test performance checker that allows you to analyse the performance and return of a virtual portfolio of current and existing Signal Providers (or Forex Traders) over an investment period in the past chosen by yourself.
We believe this is a powerful tool that all trade followers should use prior to making their final decisions on which Signal Providers to add as they construct their actual and real portfolios. You can access the Blender from your Autotrading menu.
The way it works is simple and takes place in three steps:
1) Select the initial virtual amount you wish to start your virtual allocation with, and select the maximum broker-to-broker price feed slippage (as you may be following a SP who may be trading with a different broker to yours, therefore the price feeds of each broker may differ)
2) Select the Signal Provider you wish to add:- search through the different signal providers that are available and select one based on your analysis of their results and past performance track record. This is viewable for each Signal Provider on their personalised performance page. Select the parameters including the currency spread that you are trading on with your broker:- select the amount you wish to allocate to each Signal Provider from your available virtual fund. Select the maximum percentage you wish to risk following this trader, select the trade size etc. Make your selections as if you were adding them to your real portfolio.
3) Select the start period and end period (both in the past) that you wish to virtually follow the Signal Provider for.
4) Repeat steps two to three until you have the required number of Signal Providers in your virtual portfolio that you wish to “blend” together. Then click on “Blend”.
The reason The Blender is highly recommended to be used by followers prior to making final decisions on which Signal Providers to follow is because it gives traders an idea of potential portfolio performance and potential growth of an account. The Blender enables followers to fully test the performance of a mixed portfolio of Forex traders based on each follower’s individual preferences and risk appetite over a historical period of time based on actual historical results traded by signal providers.
We very much hope you take advantage of this new feature and use it to improve your Autotrading decision-making and performances.
Following are the lastest feature release by FxStat.
Pause – clicking on the ‘pause’ button will have the effect of temporarily halting the strategy. Therefore no new open trades will be mirrored or followed but any already existing and open trades will not be affected, and they will close as usual when the signal provider closes his/her positions. The signal provider will not be removed from the portfolio and will remain visible under the Portfolio field.
The screen will look like the screenshot above, with the ‘play’ sign on display. Clicking on this will resume the following of this strategy.
Statistics – clicking statistics allows a client to view over 15 different reporting such as total profits, pips, lots & orders, which are all useful analytical measurements.
Update – clicking this will open a new window giving the client the option to refresh all open trades or all closed trades. If a client wishes to update both, they will need to carry out this operation twice, once for open trades and then for closed trades.
See next screen
One click trading – checking this box allows a client to close open trades without an additional confirmation pop up window. This can but does not guarantee faster execution of the close order.
Export to Excel – this feature allows a client to export all closed trades data to an excel file for further filtering ability and analysis.
A new window opens and allows a client to tick or un-tick any columns they wish to view or omit in the excel file.
As a signal provider, you can monitor all your followers including their allocated fund to your strategy, currencies they are following from your strategy and the contract size they have set and many more.
We would like to inform you of the following changes, updates and new features
Note:
As we have released a new bridge, please make sure to restart your meta trader and update your bridge to the latest version.
