    EliteTrader VS Trade2win

    Yes, very true. As only trading in US markets? It is easy to forget how good we have it with choice, safety and volatility. Surf

    EliteTrader VS Trade2win

    Both the sites have pros and cons. Elite is more focused on US emini trading while trade2win focuses much on FX. My suggestion is to read both of them. [Link removed] surf
