I have demo trading few months ago using forex.com
However the demo account that they provided only valid for 30 days. Any suggestion here for brokers who offer demo account without time limit? I did try Oanda FXGame, yes, the demo account is without time limit but the longest period chart they have is 1 day chart only. I would like to have longer period chart (1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month and etc).
I did heard about Meta Trader. Is it a platform offered by a particular broker? Or it is a general platform that supported by a few brokers? I know nothing about Meta Trader. Appreciate if anyone here can provide further explanation.
As a summary, i need a broker(platform?) who offer demo account which:
I can also recommend the GFT trading platform. It has all you need plus it is probably the finest charting software around. You can do anything with it and it is so user friendly. Your profit/loss etc are all calculated for you in your base currency on the one chart. After this platform, i would not trade any other - it is truely the best in my opinion.
I do not know what your fear is. I am sure just about everybody posting on this website uses a downloaded program.
They are easy to download - only a few minutes. On my program (GFT), a desktop icon even appears so that you can get into the program and trading fast. Password(s) are then given for security.
What security do you have with a web based program? Unless it is a locked site, anyone can get in. Furthermore, spies can record your keystrokes and take your money!
A web based program is much more likely to be very basic because of the sheer amount of computing involved. Yes, the downloaded programs are beautifully engineered and there is a lot to them and they do a lot that i do not think is possible with a web based where all the computing would have to be online.
In view of the above, I would submit that you reconsider the downloaded programs.
