Jerry Medved Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 This one was setup a LONG time ago. At the time, the accounts this worked for were called "Advantage Trader", but they changed lots of stuff since then. Not sure exactly which one would be used now. You may want to call. Do update here if they give you an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahujat Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I opened a demo account with Forex.com. I need the data for US SP 500 CFD. I can see the data on their web platform as well as on Tradingview.com (symbol is SPXUSD and data is coming from Forex.com). Any idea what the symbol will be to be used in MT for US SP500 CFD? I am getting data for the forex pairs, so having a demo account is not the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahujat Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I don't see Alaric as on option for data source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious about what is involved in supporting CFDs? Need the SPXUSD for trading SPX options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 depends on the source. IB does not handle it at the datafeed level. Others handle it differently. In the case of forex.com I don't even remember seeing them at the time it was implemented, but that was many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 if you login on their web based platform how do you get CFD quotes? how do they distinguish FOREX symbols from CFD? I did not see anything on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahujat Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Browse Markets -> Indices - > indices US -> US SP 500 CFD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I don't have indices tab on my test account. See on top left where you can "Search markets".... is there a search there that returns what you want? If so, let me know what search you did and I can try it here.

ahujat Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Search for us sp 500. But my guess is if you have Forex.com US account, it might not appear there. Need a Non-US account, I think You can get a demo account, Use canada as your country and whatever phone number you want to put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
