Hey everyone.

Foudn this forum 4 days ago..and omg, there is so much to read. So many systems...and trying to see if any of them actually work!

anyway, back to my question. I trade at work..where only spread betting platforms built into internet clients actually work. Downloadable clients are blocked, such as Metatrader4 from north Finance and fxCM client.

Does this mean I wont be able to try out ANY of the systems?

Sorry for my mis spelling of the title!

Set up metatrader on your home computer, then use GoToMyPC to access it from work. www.gotomypc.com

Site denied. Anything that uses unusual ports is blocked I guess.

I'm not sure when you say 'try out systems' if you mean MT4 indicators etc.. or just simple charting and demo trading because you mention FXCM which does not use the MetaTrader platform. If you don't need to use the MetaTrader platform you could check out the following:
A demo from a broker that offers web based and/or java platforms like Forex.com one of FF's preferred brokers. I dislike java based trading platforms so I've never tried their demo but one of their platforms may work for you.
If you only want to look at charts you could try netdania.com

Unfortunately Forex.com platforms do not work.

The only ones I can get to work are capitalspreads.com and similar spread betting type platforms. I can only assume its my silly work It admins locking down ports and things.

I mentioned FXCM as it has a downloadable client, and North Finance is also downloadable. I didnt make myself clear there, apologies.

I just got the impression without the right tools at work, I wont be able to try out any oif these systems. Which saddens me
