I just started a demo account with Metatrade using FDXX. They have a 40 point (4 pics) limit for pending orders, which is usually well outside the AIMs levels, so can't use pending orders. Should I look at asking them about switching to Alpair?
Also, are your AIMS indicators and templetes available on stock trading platforms (Think or Swim, OptionsXpress, etc.), and how would I access them?

Re: Trading
Hi John , For scalping I am just moving to a MT4 broker as my current platform can sometimes be as much as two pips out from what I am seeing on Aims . I opened with InterTrader as Eur/US was only one pip fixed spread , but I have since found out that pending orders have to be 10 full pips away from market price , This for Aims trading is unacceptable , I am now going to move to Alpari as it is 1.6 spread but only 2 pips pending order to market. A friend of mine on Aims trades via Alpari and he has had no problems.
Do not think these indicators will work on anything other than MT4

What is the Secret of Successful Trading?
The Consistent Pursuit of DS1
The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".
I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.

Re: Trading
I use Alpari US and have no issues using AIMS. Spread and distance are as you say. 1.6 and 2 pips respectively.
Trade what you see, not what you think

Re: Trading
Thanks for the response all. Probably Immy will need to reply on whether there are any stock trading platforms that will accept the AIMs indicators. Thanks in advance.
