Hey 'Sirkeen' (I did not want to 'mix' or 'jumble up' my response to you with the above post. I couldn't 'handle it')!!!
I have indeed created most of the indicators for the systems for GCI's platform. HOWEVER: you cannot even begin to compare GCI's charting module with Delta's i.e. (and don't get me wrong here i.e. I LOVE GCI's platform because it's 'polished' and 'uncluttered' and 'quick' and 'logical') and although GCI's charts are great to look at and 'crystal clear' their scripting language is FAR less 'capable' than Delta's. There is NO way to even get the actual VALUES of the indicators to be displayed e.g. if you want to know what the ASI value is you would have to zoom in FULL on the (my) ASI indicator and position your cursor at the point where you would like to get the value from and then read the value off of the scale at the right of the indicator. This is inaccurate at best. I find also that the indicators are extremely difficult to read i.e. even zooming in FULL only expands them horizontally and not vertically so again: to 'get your bearings' really is impossible. I've thought of using Delta's charts and trading at GCI that way but there is a potential flaw with that scenario because of the difference in timezones. At GCI I use a combination of Excel and my indicators (but probably Excel more so than my indicators) to trade. Also: bear in mind that because you live in Canada you may or may not even be able to open an account at GCI yourself (I know that residents of many countries are excluded from opening accounts at GCI due to various restrictions and / or minimum requirements that have to be met e.g. the USA is one of them). Now I know you're LOATHE to open an account with a broker that is SO far away from you. All I can say to you is this: I've NEVER had a problem with Delta AT ALL EVER!!! Their customer support is fantastic (GCI's is practicallly non-existent BUT I STILL LOVE THEM) and Delta abides VERY strictly to the EU's rules and regulations when it comes to the trading of securities and things so I really don't think you need to be concerned that you're not going to be able to go and 'bash their door down' if you've got a problem of one sort or another!!! Put it this way: even if you opened an account in CANADA the chances of that making ANY difference in the case of a dispute is 'slim' at best!!! The only other thing I can say is that Delta has VERY good reports no matter WHERE on the Internet you look (the same cannot be said for GCI BUT I really DO believe that ALL of the bad reports about GCI have been posted or written by people who have lost money and really don't 'know the game' e.g. I've seen a post where GCI was given a 'scam' rating because their order ON EUR/USD MIND YOU was 'slipped' by THREE PIPS!!! That's TOTALLY unfair. Believe me: if you're trading commodities the chances of you order getting filled at YOUR EXACT price is almost NIL i.e. that's just the way it works)!!!
