no, won't let me, anyhow, I got it all set up, but RM has not executed any trades yet, how long does it usually take to execute its first trade? also, what is the smallest amount you can deposit to a micro account with this broker

? thanks in advance.

Are there any errors in the Journal or Experts logs? If so, post them here.

Do you have a smilie face in the top right corner of your chart? If not, check the Review FAQ for details on troubleshooting that.

I'm not sure the timing to place the first trade, but it should occur within the range

specified by the settings (usually 40 - 50 pips).

ok, I just got it all running. won't let me do a starting balance of less than 3000 on a demo though. how long does RM take to open its first position? its been about 15 minutes and hasn't done a thing yet...

Yes, then you should be okay. I'm not sure what time zone you're in, but it's late here. Go to bed and come check it out tomorrow morning and I bet you'll see some movement!

Also, as an FYI, anyone who is thinking about buying the RM should be aware of price increases that are likely to take place in the next 1-2 weeks, as detailed here:

ahh EST here... it just opened its first position... can't wait to see how it does over time... what is the equity so far in the live test you are currently running?

Just check the statement on Page 1 of this thread!

At start of new week Profit is USD 583, DD USD 492. Trading live since Nov '08, so I'm not giving up the day job yet , but I'm in this for the long term, content to let it run. If you switch to weekly or monthly the pair has been through this range

several times before.

Bladelawless,
If you choose "new account" you can enter the amount you want in the account. When you choose the roll-down button next to that box indeed $3000,- is the lowest, but if you click inside the box you can remove the digits and type whatever you want. I've made dozens of $200 and $300 demo accounts. A lot of them on IBFX so I'm sure it is possible.

Yep, definitely possible. Just type in the amount as you say vogelezang. And make sure you selected mini account, rather than standard account.
Regarding minimum balance, here's some info from the IBFX website:
What is the Minimum Deposit to Open An Account?
IBFX is pleased to announce that we no longer have minimum deposit requirements for any of our accounts. Accounts may be funded by wire transfer, credit card, bank check, money order, certified check, or personal check. Personal checks may take up to ten business days to clear depending on the bank, state of origin, and amount.
