I currently use Oanda with MT4, mostly because it is free and is easy to use. It doesn’t except any plugins as far as I know, or at least not the plugin I would like to use. So I am at the mercy of MT4. Oanda does have some good information and some decent indicators, which I try not to use to much of. I use mostly support and resistance levels. Trade station excepts the plugin, but to actually start trading you have to pay 50 bucks a month, I guess that is O.K. considering other platforms are in the hundreds of dollars every month. if your making a profit and have enough for the bottom line I guess that is O.K. I also know that Trade station is free until you actually start trading. So in a nut shell is it a decent platform for a newbie like me and/or are there any good platforms that one might recommend. I may give it a try, since it is freeware.
platform used is essential according to the business plan you want to perform , so each person uses their strategy to make money and so make a transaction on a great opportunity to profit
