Whats the best FX platform in terms of service/spreads/speed.

Anyone use eToro.com ?

Thanks! :)
 
Metatrader4 is one of the most favored among traders.On the MT4 trading platform you can trade all trading strategies. You can trade any Metatrader Expert Advisor you like, scalping, swing trading etc.
And you can download and use MT4 for free.

Open an Oanda account. You can have an indefinite Demo account opened with them.

MT4 is garbage, I currently use it though because the company I am working for uses it.
The spreads are wide and you can't open a position with a Stoploss, because there is a minimum 50 pips between your market order price and available stoploss. You end up having to then enter a second order to 'modify' your trade.
Expert advisors are no help to you, because you can't use them unless you are already profitable.
That leaves you trading with platform that is compromised.

Open an Oanda account, you'll be happy.
 
I agree with many people said that metatrader 4 is a best platform to trade. The metatrader 4 is a popular platform for using in the world. One of the other platform is streamster from marketiva.

Why do you dislike MT4?
 
After metatrader 4, there is metatrader 5 what is the different of both? Is metatrader 5 is better than metatrader 4? and may you all friends can share the platforms for trading?
 
Alpari is one of the best forex brokers in the world of trading forex and there just could not be any doubts about it.

Reviews i have seen for it rate it as very poorly with a lot of slippage and customers complaining of suspicious market activity

Really? You've, obviously, never had a live account with them. Either that or you're completely delusional.

Since when does "one of the best forex brokers in the world" use a multitude of sharp practices ("trade context busy" errors, "trade timed out" errors and excess slippage) to trade against their clients?

You mean there are others who have been ripped off, apart from myself and my partner? Surely not!!!!!!!!!
 
On a serious note however, I have used FXCM's demo platform (i am just starting out and use it simply to get a feel for market movements.

To be honest of all the ones i have looked at and researched none of them seem viable if i were to ever trade professionally. Its a shame there isnt really an honest UK broker for forex etc that would be happy with taking a fee rather than hedging against you and interfering.

I have seen Deutsche Bank have started up a forex platform but you need $5000 minimum and maximum leverage is 100:1. in reviews people claim this is bad but in my view this is excellent and means they are out simply to host the trades rather than scam their customers out of money. Maybe you guys might want to check it out, as for me im going to demo for the next year.
 
Sorry ignore my above post in regards to deutsche bank having a trading platform....it has been taken over by Forex.com now so that idea has gone out the window
 
Most common would be MT4... but "best" entirely depends on what kind of trader you are.

Personally, I like MultiCharts and NinjaTrader... but I will settle with MT4.
