Looking for a SB firm..

[porph]

.. with a similar trading platform to OANDA fxtrade.

I have found the layout and ease of use to be great but i dont have much desire to trade forex. Can anybody recommend anybody else that has a similar platform and also allows for a 'play' account to test out some strategies first?

- in particular, placing orders by clicking on the chart, whilst simple, makes a lot of sense to me.

Thanks.

anybody?

I `ve been using IG index for a while and have had zero problems. They have a play account and when you open a real account you can start tiny for the first few weeks.

 

[porph]

how do you open a play account? I have an existing investor account but I would really like to try some new things without blowing up my account

thanks

checking it out now, thanks.

The platform is powered by OANDA technology. It looks and works identically. I was so pleased when I stumbed across them. I dont have a bad word to say about them so far (been with theem for about a month)

You can trade oil, Indicies and forex, all with very small stakes if you like.

brilliant, i just realised that whilst checking out the manual.

Exactly what i was looking for! Now to lose money in other markets than just forex!

lol...glad to be of help.

I spent about 3 years looking for somwhere like Oanda but with indexes and stuff aswell, and about a week after I finally found them, they started advertising on this very site! Made all my hard work searching feel like a waste of time

Thanks,

It doesnt seem like ABN does. I am enjoying the usability though - I need to keep things simple! The one thing I don't like is that you cannot simply bet per pip. Obviously you can work it out but would be nice when things get frenetic. - Have I missed something?
