please leave your opinions!

so far have looked at tradestation,FXCM and metatrader.
 
What is the criteria to determine "best"?

Personally I like MT4 (soon to be MT5). I like the programming interface and the scripting language. It's fast and stable. You can be trading on multiple accounts simultaneously from different terminal sessions. I don't like some of the internal distributions of functions/functionality in the file system.

It's nearly bullet proof, but not quite idiot proof.

The beauty of Forex is most of the data is Free(including live data)

As for the software to display the data, how long is a piece of string?

I agree with Wabbit , MT4 is pretty good and has a wide user base who share their idea's, plenty of other options though.
 
iv been using the the demo account with FXCM which i think is the tradestation platform im guessing? seems pretty good the only bad thing about it is. It always asks you to confirm your order. so you do generally get slip and can loose 1 or 2 pips in the process. which really sucks. is MT4 what you see is what you get?? and doesn't question your order etc and puts it straight through.
 
MT4 is great for charting - so many people freely code for MT4 its not funny.

I'm a big fan of NinjaTrader too.
 
With all u guys on Metatrader4 great platform, use it every day.

I also use GFT DealBook360 also very good.
 
MetaTrader 4 it is then!!. Who would like to send me their setup so i can backtest!?

go to Forexfactory's forum - there's countless systems there which you can grab and play with yourself.
 
Hi everyone, first time threader here ....

I have used GFT Demo for the past 30 days, interface is fantastic and when ordering a packet the ORDER REQUEST appears with a live price on the REQUEST BOX, so once you CLICK the GO button, the transaction is done in an instant. NICE touch and to apply/remove the numerous studies on prices is so easy, I like it as a first time FX/Indices trader.

regards
 
Just a quick question on EFX: I have got a demo account, installed the EFX Navigator and trying to get it to work for a few demo trades, however when I click to place an order, I get "Failed to submit order: Account is not permissioned for Forex".

Err.. it's a demo account! However I seem to have my trial balance sitting there. Any ideas what I have missed?
 
Hi gfresh,

Make sure you're using MBT Navigator version 11.1.0.2. You can download it from http://www.mbtrading.com/download.asp. The previous version of MBT Navigator seems to have stopped working with demo accounts since the release of 11.1.0.2.

Cheers, Zman
 
Thanks zman, it appears this is the case. Installed the latest version of MBT navigator and all appears fine.
 

Hi

Can you please tell me where I can get this free data?

Thanks
 
I think MT4 is the best, it is user friendly... focus on the client charting terminal makes it more attractive and user friendly
 
I agree with Wesley. Mt4 is free to use and easy to get indicators or customise an indicator which is hard to get in other platforms. I use mt4 for intraday trading.
And Ninja-trader is excellent for scalping due to the ease of the tools provided and the layout of the platform.

Cheers
 

The best forex software is your ears.
