Hi everybody,

what's the best and most reliable trading platform on the market and what are the major differences between the different platforms?

What broker uses what platform?

I would like to have your opinion on this issue and I think this could be a very useful information for the forex factory community.

Best Platform:

The one you have a programmer create and tailor to your specific trading needs.

Broker: One who uses FIX API and allows you to do this, preferably free of charge. (unlike Oanda's $600 / month fee for API use)



Mike

P.S. If not an option, still, platforms are chosen according to your specific needs. MT4 is an awesome free platform, but if you are scalping off a 5 sec. chart then MT4 is not for you, you are better off with NinjaTrader.

Speaking of programmers... Looks like one of the best just chimed in.

(fxRichard is one of the amazing programmers around here at FF who can easily tailor a platform specific to your trading needs.)

Good to see ya Rich!

which broker can allow traders to make 100% gain daily?

Stay away from the market makers, if your making 100% daily then you need to be looking at banks and/or some of the currenex prime brokers with an institutional account.

No MT4 is a market maker platform for the most part.

That's why I said "mostly" because I know there is a company or two porting currenex to MT4.

actually im not very clear how to do that, i assume you need to open your company and uses mt4 then request feed from currenex. im just using it, not very familiar with the workaround. someone pls correct if im wrong or provide more information?

Hi fxRichard

Do you trade with Duka on their own platform or is it possible to use another platform connected to your account with them?
