How do your trade signals work? Are they sent via SMS or Email?
Our Live Trade Alerts are sent from our 4Xlounge Traders Round Table and our X System Software. Each alert is very comprehensive with pre-trade warning alerts to help every member prepare for the pending trade alert and more ‘mid-trade’ updates to keep the lines of communication flowing. All alerts are sent via SMS, email and Trade Messenger and will include:
- A “Possible Trade is setting up” alert will be sent. We will include currency pairs when possible, but sometimes the entire market is pushing and were are not sure which pair will set up first.
- If our “Possible Trade is setting up” alert did NOT include a currency pair(s), we will send out another with a named currency just before entry. This will ensure that everyone has time to catch the trade.
- We will send out a detailed trade alert (in the same format as we’ve been using) with exact entry, stop and limit prices.
- We will send out ‘mid-trade’ updates as needed and/or if the trade is taking a bit longer than usual. Info like: “move your stop to Break Even”, “Target updates”, “key price level info on longer trades”, etc…
- Trade conclusion update. Either to close the trade or to report a stop/limit triggered. You will always know when a trade is over.
When are the trade alerts usually sent? What time of day?
Our Live Trade Alerts (both X System and Round Table) are not scheduled. Rather, they are sent when market conditions occur to generate a trade. Most trades are generated during the Euro and US trading sessions, but a few are sent outside of those 2 trading blocks. Both the X System and Round Table alerts include a warning alert before the actually trade signal is generated. The X System creates a (Possible Trade) condition in the dashboard window and our Round Table Alerts are always setup with a (Possible Trade) SMS, email & Trade Messenger alert.
What is the difference between the various Pro Membership packages?
All of our 4Xlounge Pro Membership packages include everything that we offer. In addition, you will never be charged more for extra features or upgrades. Once you sign-up, you get everything that we currently have to offer and anything that we will add in the future (as long as your Pro Membership stays active).

4. 4Xlounge Auto Trading Solution (MT4 EA)
Should we hold every trade open until the trade triggers it’s original stop/limit order?
This option is up to each individual trader. Our results pages reflect holding each trade until X system closes it. It is important to monitor the X System software. Sometimes X System will close a trade before the stop or limit has been reached. We refer to this as an “X System reversal”.
X system may close or reverse a position before the market hits our stop or limit order. We should continue to closely monitor X system whenever a trade is open. With practice, you may be able to hold trades a bit longer to increase profits and minimize losses.
How should I calculate my risk for each trade?
Over-leveraging is a common mistake among forex traders. Please do not over leverage your account. We have carefully calculated an ideal lot size based on account equity (per system). If you increase your leverage beyond our suggested ratios, your account will be over-exposed and at risk of being completely wiped out.
Remember; forex trading is NOT gambling or guess, it’s math. The traders with the most favorable math wins. Good math = high yield trading with a strong risk/reward %. Bad math = over leveraging with a poor risk/reward %.
Please see our Risk Calculator PDF at the following link: (Click Here)
How much control do I have? What settings are included in Expert Advisors?
We provide 3 different auto trading solutions and they are all controlled from a single EA. A short term X System, a long term X System and Round Table Option. Our 4Xlounge EA opens and closes the respective trades for ALL currency pairs (i.e. you only need 1 EA for all 3 systems, not 1 EA per system per currency pair). Our 4Xlounge EA provides several different options. Here are a few:
- You can turn each currency pair on/off to control the pairs that you wish to trade. This option is “per system”. Basically, you can have an on/off for each pair times 3.
- You control the lot size for the EA to trade
- You control the Max Offset for each trade
- You control the slippage level for each trade
- You control manaully closing each trade on/off
- We also provide extra inputs for broker issues (i.e. suffix/prefix, stop and limit order delay and more)
What brokers are compatible with your auto trading solution?
Our EA will work with any broker that offers the Metatrader 4 (MT4) trading platform. Most brokers offer MT4. There are 100′s of brokers to choose from. If your broker has a unique issue, we will modify our EA’s to fit your brokers needs.
Is your auto trading solution included with your Pro Membership or is it extra?
We never charge extra for addon’s or additional features. In fact, you can use the EA’s and SMS alerts at the same time. Our Pro Membership includes everything that we offer and all upgrades are included for free.
How does your auto trading solution work? Is it reliable?
We use a proven technology for our auto-trading solution. We decided to use Metatrader’s Expert Advisor technology to host our auto trading solution. Expert Advisors are files/programs that attach to any MT4 chart and then automatically open/close the trades.
Metatrader Expert Advisors have been successfully used for more than 10 years. They are very reliable, but require some monitoring to insure proper function.
