can you trade cryptos in fxopen's ecn demo?

i don't see the option to open a crypto demo account there

I think BTC-E was using FxOpen's MT4 server right from the start

terms are exactly the same as on BTC-E: http://www.fxopen.com/TradingTerms.aspx?active_tab=8

are they even using diferent MT4 servers?

Looks like USA isn't an option when signing up.

Joint Statement Regarding the Insolvency of Mt.Gox

The purpose of this document is to summarize a joint statement to the Bitcoin community regarding the insolvency of Mt.Gox.

This tragic violation of the trust of users of Mt.Gox was the result of one company’s abhorrent actions and does not reflect the resilience or value of bitcoin and the digital currency industry. There are hundreds of trustworthy and responsible companies involved in bitcoin. These companies will continue to build the future of money by making bitcoin more secure and easy to use for consumers and merchants. As with any new industry, there are certain bad actors that need to be weeded out, and that is what we are seeing today.

We are confident, however, that strong Bitcoin companies, led by highly competent teams and backed by credible investors, will continue to thrive, and to fulfill the promise that bitcoin offers as the future of payment in the Internet age.

In order to re-establish the trust squandered by the failings of Mt. Gox, responsible bitcoin exchanges are working together and are committed to the future of bitcoin and the security of all customer funds. As part of the effort to re-assure customers, the following exchanges will be coordinating efforts over the coming days to publicly reassure customers and the general public that all funds continue to be held in a safe and secure manner: Coinbase, Kraken, BitStamp, Circle, and BTC China.

We strongly believe in transparent, thoughtful, and comprehensive consumer protection measures. We pledge to lead the way.

Bitcoin operators, whether they be exchanges, wallet services or payment providers, play a critical custodial role over the bitcoin they hold as assets for their customers. Acting as a custodian should require a high-bar, including appropriate security safeguards that are independently audited and tested on a regular basis, adequate balance sheets and reserves as commercial entities, transparent and accountable customer disclosures, and clear policies to not use customer assets for proprietary trading or for margin loans in leveraged trading. It does not appear to any of us that MtGox followed any these essential requirements as a financial services provider.

The following industry leaders stand by this statement:

Fred Ehrsam — Co-founder of Coinbase
Jesse Powell — CEO of Kraken
Nejc Kodrič — CEO of Bitstamp.net
Bobby Lee — CEO of BTC China
Nicolas Cary — CEO of Blockchain.info
Jeremy Allaire — CEO of Circle

i made something in log(logarithmic) scale so some of you can think/ponder about it and other to flame about it



info to read if you need to http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fibonacciretracement.asp


have a nice day

Yes, using weekly for bollinger makes the most sense in bitcoin 

No. Your point is valid, but using mtgox data as your main reference for current btc price is beyond silly. Unless you trade on gox. In which case: good luck

Mt Gox is no longer a good metric for bitcoin price IMHO.  That said it is not meaningless.  Gox still matters, and it might just drag us down with itself.

So, why did this exchange drop 400.00 more than all others?

Also, why did they shut off deposits since then?

/tin foil hat ON
mtgox coins sold on btc-e ?
/tin foil hat OFF

Someone dropped the stolen coins from GOX and dumped all of them on btc-e 
He even had a few low buy orders to launder part of the money/coins.

it shure as hell did go down to $102. somebody sole 4000-8000 BTC at market price.
