Does anyone know of a simpler trading platform than meta4, babypips seemingly leaves a lot of loose ends and leaves it up to the newby to figure it out. it maybe the best platform but if you cant navigate around it then it becomes pointless. the video tutorials tend to start on a completely different page than the one you’re on, leaving you guessing how to get to where they are.
For retail traders, your choice of trading platforms is limited to what your forex or CFD provider offers.
Most offer their own in-house platform whether browser-based or as a mobile app (iOS/Android).
Popular third-party trading platforms are also offered such as MetaTrader 4/5 and cTrader.
Not sure how you define “simple” but most in-house apps provided by forex/CFD providers are pretty easy-to-use.
yes, forex.com has a very user friendly platform, however im stuck at the very end of this course in babypips.com because its teaching the meta4 platform (and not very well) which wont be much help trying to learn another platform
As far as I know, BabyPips is platform and broker agnostic. I don’t think they have tutorials on MT4 or any other trading software.
MT4 is quite simple to use once you get the hang of it. Have you searched YouTube for tutorials on using MT4?

I would not use MT5 if you’re in the U.S. since it does not connect to any U.S. broker as yet.
In one of their lesson babypips has a short video tutorial on trading with meta4, I tried you tube, the problem there is, when they start their tutorial its never from the page I’m on when I’m on the platform, and i have no idea how to get to the page they’re starting from so its no way to follow along
Try to learn MT4 through other means esp youtube tutorials as it would be harder to understand other platforms because of lack of educational resources on them.
I think it would be better for you to watch youtube videos to understand the MT4 platform. It is the most popular platform for trading and is very easy to use.
