    Trading platforms - software v's web-browser based platforms

    I would say the only real advantage is that you can trade using any PC around the world since you don´t need your own computer with the installed platform. I "heard" many good things about Oanda. Very good spreads, very stable and reliable. On the other hand the platforms charting, indicator...

    Diff platforms - Diff Ticks ??

    Interesting ! In that case I was just pointing out the difference between the 2 Demos (CMS/VT Trader and MT 4). While MT4 was updating a few times each second, CMS would just stay at the same price to fill those ticks with one jump after a few seconds.

    Hi, Yes, that´s what they´ve told me as well. There are many threads on other forums as well who are complaining about that and discussing how smart it is to drive potential customers away putting them on sloppy demo servers... I am testing PFG Forex - a nightmare so far. Charting would be...

    Sorry for my bad english - it´s not my motherlanguage. I´ll try to explain. If you say you are willing to risk 15 pips don´t you have to make sure if those 15 pips are enough to cover the markets hourly-daily-weekly range? If you look at dailies and the daily trading range is 400 pips, risking...

    Diff platforms - Diff Ticks ??

    Hi, Since there is no Forex exchange in the terms like futures have it I thought about how brokers could "cook" their own soup :rolleyes: I always daytraded but watching the Forex I really have to think about dailies or 4 hour charts. Following my own advise was/is always the hardest part...

    Diff platforms - Diff Ticks ??

    Could you explain what´s medium and long term is for you? I didn´t watch Forex long enough to make my mind up but it seems that there are always nice trends on the daily chart. I wonder how deep the pockets must be to trade those trends? I think many people come to Forex because of the free...

    Well, I do like VT Trader too, but you are right - some things aren´t user friendly, especially those seperated windows using a multimonitor setup. What charting platform do you prefer? Thanks & good trading Tom

    Hi all, I am currently testing VT Trader which gets it data from CMS and MetaTrader 4 where the data comes from FXDD I think on demo accounts. Please look at the attached charts. While MT4 ticks a few times each sec, VT Trader always stalls and jumps a few pips at once a little bit later...

    MetaTrader 4 - Brokers ?

    Thanks for your reply and the links. What kind of problems do you have to face with those brokers ? Do you mean you have with each of them a trading account ? I thought Metaquotes just provide the software platform - do they also offer brokerage services? Thanks & Good trading Tom

    MetaTrader 4 - Brokers ?

    hi gabroo and thanks for the reply ! yeah I found out just a few minutes ago that MT 4 isn´t available right now and it might be a good idea to wait a few more weeks or months to make sure the brokers tested enough and the implementation is stable (same with brandnew cars, right ? :lol: ) are...
