Opening An FXCM Account
Here's the page for their demo account:
http://www.fxcm.com/open-free-100k.jsp
And to open a live account:
http://www.fxcm.com/open-an-account.jsp
After you have created your live account, send an email to admin@fxcm.com and ask that hedging be switch on. Also ask that your live account be given Multi Session User Access. This lets you log in to both the FXCM trading platform and ATM at the same time. (Both are switched on by default for demo accounts).
But, here's what they say about Multi Session Access on a Micro account:
From a technical stand point, it is possible to connect to a micro account. We recommend multiple session access to API users since they normally log in more than once. The restriction of not allowing multiple session on micro accounts is due to the manually intensive process of doing the switch - not a technical restriction.
Thus you can still use the API on micro, just consider that if you log into the same API twice, one session will be kicked out. If you do not want this restriction, you would need to upgrade to a standard account.
For the one micro account, I believe you will be able to log in at the same to both the FXCM trading platform and ATM. But not two 'instances' of the FXCM platform at the same time, or two instances of ATM at the same time. It's probably not an issue.
