Absolutely agree. I have traded from all sorts of platforms from the free java apps or mobile clients to commercial trading platforms. As long as the information is timely and accurate then there is absolutely NO reason a good trader could not be successful with it. Honestly if i had to print out charts like I did before and use a ruler I would be fine. Yeah it would take a bucket load of time but I could trade just off up paper and pencil with grid paper if I had to. The only edge a professional might have on you is execution time and that would most likely be a pit trader, but as with electronic trading these days the edge there has been greatly diminished.
Forexsolutions’ AccuChart Platform is Golden! -Besides that it’s free if you open a demo account with them.
I’m OK with the standard MT4 platform. I’ve tried a few brokers with their own platforms but I love to stick with the MT4
What about websites such as Easyforex and forex.com are they any good. And what services do we think are very good.
Also what are people opinions on the best Forex Robots
Don’t go in there buddy! - Believe me, you’ll get disappointed and desperate!
You’ve already got the best robot, which is unlimited amount of Dummy Accounts! - Learn, trade, learn, trade, learn, trade! -Simple pattern 
.
Have fun.
I am new to forex but would definitely swear by thinkorswim (td ameritrade). Once you learn to use the software it is very powerful and easy to trade well. I have downloaded and played around with MT4 but it just doesnt compare. Plus td ameritrade is a reliable broker.
With so many platforms out there it can get quite difficult to choose one, so I agree with lots of you that you need first of all to choose a method and strategy, also depends on the type of trader you are, if you are a newbie or a pro, probably a newbie cuz a pro will have already his platform and wouldn’t change it. For example if you are a newbie probably you should start with etoro that have a very easy to use platfrom, but if you want something more pro, you should go for an ECN platforms like Alpari, Fxpro or Sunbirdfx…Good luck !
I like MT4 much too, but i know that MT5 is running now, does it mean that MT4 will disappear soon?
I am new in forex and I opened a few demo accounts in different brokers so I can try and see what kind of platform fits to me the best, like maxgold said etoro it is very good for newbies but because i want to became a pro i open a demo in alpari and also in sunbird cuz they have the mt5 in demo and i really like it, so maybe when they have it in real i will open the real account, till now im just trying different platforms but definitely im happy with the mt5…
There is this self proclaimed New Zealand based broker SVI (Standard Vanguard Investments) with whom I opened my first ever live trading account only to discover how big a bandit the said is!!! Fake Ticks, price re quotes, price freeze, stop hunting and the like happen to be some of the major benefits you get as a client of SVI! Above all these thugs are master of taking back all profits greater than 300pips and so on. Any such trade is removed from trading history instantly. For them MT4 is “manipulated trader 4” rather than meta trader 4. Their Introducer broker-Harvest Topworth International and this SVI happen to be two ends of same coin! They are running their own book so a loss of client is actually easy profitfor them.
I like etoro’s $50 as minimum investment. But there is no such thing as best forex platform. It all depends on everyone’s preference.
All things are difficult before they are easy. 
Meta trader 4 is the most popular one, I’ve noticed that many broker are introducing it to their clients.
Only MT4 is all that any trader needs.
