Is Your Computer on a Wireless Connection?

FX Trading Station for Windows | ZIP file (12.0MB)

Wireless Internet connections do not provide a consistent, uninterrupted flow of data between your professional FX Trading Station and our trading desk. A physical internet connection is highly recommended.

If you are using such an unstable connection, you may have trouble downloading the FX Trading Station. If you have no alternative to wireless, you may want to try the zip file instead.

Is Your Computer on a Dial-Up Connection?

FX Trading Station for Windows Standalone | Self-extracting EXE file (12.0MB)

If you are on a dial-up connection, the FX Trading Station may be too large to download at once. You may want to try downloading the software in parts. First, download each of the links below into the same folder on your computer. Once you have finished, click on “Start Installation” to complete the process. If you are using the standalone option to download the FX Trading Station, you will also need to download the charts.

*Please be advised that this is a beta version. Most electronic trading facilities are supported by computer-based component systems for the order routing and execution of trades. As with all facilities and systems, they are vulnerable to temporary disruption or failure. When you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be exposed to risks associated with the system including but not limited to failure of hardware or software, as such please be sure to review the execution risks. Beta testing is designed to pinpoint inherent flaws in the software. Clients who may experience increased technical difficulties during this period are encouraged to contact betatest@fxcm.com. For this purpose, participation in beta testing is completely voluntary.
