Oanda, AMC, CMC Markets - Which would you use ?

[JDTRADER]

Really interested on the feedback from Traders on:

Oanda

AMC

CMC Markets

Im on Oanda Trading on the Game account but before going live.

I would like to here from you guys on the platforms you use and like and your views on the above three.

what do you trade through them?

 

[JDTRADER]

Forex but thinking of Spread Betting shares also

See my Journal:

I use OANDA, never had a real problem. I trade swing/long-term so I don't know how they'd measure up for day trading and scalping.

Some pros: flexible lot size (you can trade with $1 if you want), good selection of pairs (over 40 to trade)
Some cons: charting isn't that great, no trailing stops

Overall: pretty satisfied with them, and haven't yet considered switching brokers.

Hope this helps.

Happy trading!

My recommendations:

a) Stick to Forex
b) Trade via Oanda until you can afford IB/IdealPro
c) Use any MT4 broker for charting, but not neccessarily for trading
d) CMC is avoided by many since their latetest changes

Never heard of AMC

I think he means due their new charting style!?

Hi,

I use to trade with CMC Markets, I personaly would adviod them at all costs.
The dealings that I have had with them has shown me that they have very little integrity.

The trading platform has changed resently and the charting software to put it mildly sucks.

Oanda, I have not heard to many bad stories about them, but have not heard of AMC.
