Any client using Agena Trader is set to global mode. Global mode is net position mode, where any new trade is automatically merged into the existing position of the same instrument. CFD's must be added manually for clients that are in this mode and using Agena.
If your DukasCopy account has not yet been activated for CFDs, AgenaTrader can only load historical data, not real-time or delayed data.
In some cases, there might be problems with DukasCopy autostart.
There are three ways to solve it: 1. Check in Account Settings that checkbox Auto Start is active. 2. Deactivate Pin (Available only for live accounts) 3. If you have static IP please contact DukasCopy support team and they should not request pin when you connect with this IP.

Data-Feed - loading of histories and real-time data
If the loading of histories (charts) takes too long or the charts stay empty after the loading has finished, then the FXCM server returned a timeout. This means that too many instruments with a too big amount of histories were requested. To solve the problem reduce the number of instruments from your workspace or the amount of history (candles) loaded in the charts. Read more about chart and history settings here.
