Which platform

Beginner Questions
1

Hi all,

I’ve been trading with forex.com for almost one year now and I have few questions to ask from those who are more experienced.

I was using forextrader platform that comes with forex account. I liked using that because I get market comments and news from forex.com, spreads are small and etc, Now I’m beginning to don’t like it because it doesn’t allow me hedging and it doesn’t allow me to put different orders on different lots of the same pair. I like your opinion on this.

Here’s my question,
Which platform and broker are you guys using and why.

I liked FXCM’s platform a lot, but decided to leave FXCM for other reasons. I tried dealbook from GFT but didn’t like it that much. MT4 is the most recent one I’ve been working from, with Alpari UK. I still prefer FXCM, though.

MT4 seems to be very popular, I would guess mainly for its coding facilities, right?

You should only trade with an ECN type broker because there is NO FIXED SPREAD IN FOREX.

I have used fxcm for years and have not had a problem with it.
I also have a forex account with Tradestation because of the auto-trade feature which I use on occasion. I suppose I prefer the Tradestation because of the ease of entry on the matrix window when manually trading.
