But what about the restrictions of the new mini accounts concerning automated systems via API or MT4? I read only that there may be certain limitations but not definitly if and which. I guess that's the most important fact for the users of this forum, a leverage 400:1 is nice but useless to most people in here if only tradable manually.
You make a good point, Sphin
While the 400:1 leverage (outside the US) makes the Mini account an attractive choice for manual traders with smaller balances, if your goal is to automate trades using MT4 or API, then you should opt for a Standard account, since those options aren't available on Mini.
FXCM welcomes all trading styles on our Standard accounts which offer you No Dealing Desk (NDD) forex execution.
