Hi,
I recommend using Oanda demo accounts... They are wonderful and will teach you a lot. They're flash and needs no download. besides, you can choose lot sizes... it's great to learn how to devide your trades into a number of trades so that you can lock in profit and cover bounces or false breaks safely.
go to www.oanda.com and choose 'fxgame'

Sorry vranghel, but the one I use operates within the micromedia flash 7. However, at work (slow connection) before flash starts there appears the java logo signaling download, but then the platform pops up as a flash file.

I tried Java platforms, a number of them, but they can never rival the flash ones... they can be 'crap' with slow dial-up or microwave connections. The most horrible, abhorable ones are the downloaded trade stations.
Regards.

Interesting....maybe their system is both on java and flash.
But i have never seen the flash interface.

My debug window shows
02:39:24 OANDA FXGame 06.01.16
02:39:24 GetProperties(): java.version: 1.5.0_06
02:39:24 GetProperties(): java.vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.

I also like flash better, but i dont know any other broker that has online based Forex games. Can you recommand me any?

regards,
Vranghel

Oanda is the way to go!
If you noticed not many websites advertise Oanda.
And that Is for one simple reason.. NO IBs. So if you cant be an IB, why bother advertising if you cant make any money from them.
This proves that everyone is just tryn to make some profit, even though companies like FXCM, who have one of the best IB programs have very large spreads.

Oanda's Spreads are very tight, no room for IB.
That's gooood!

Oanda is great but have some minus: low leverage, custom indicators.

I just tried them and so far it seems to run smoothly...
Perhaps it might be your internet connection...
What exactly seems to be the problem?

We have set up for 23+ hour/day auto-trading using TradeBullet. Both my partner and I have experienced the same issue(s) and we are several hundred miles apart from one another..different ISP's, etc. The disconnects are intermittent and oft times MBT's Navigator does not reconnect. We believe the problem is at MBT's servers, or close thereto. It isn't the internet. Have you been able to stay connected around the clock ?

I've done a bit reading and it seems that their demo servers are not as stable as their real account servers.
At least thats what they claim on their forum. Few others had simillar issue, check it out:

HI, to everybody. First of all let me introduce myself.
My name is Dragisa Vasiljevic, and I am from Zajecar, Serbia.
Allmost a year FOREX is my only occupation. As I work as a system administrator in a company with good and stabile hardware and software I am everyday on the forex market through demo accounts. A year has gone and I can tell You that it is amazing (speaking through DEMO versions). It occupied me all. My whole life became FOREX.
But, there is allways one but. First, but not the last, I didn't try a real trading. It was allways a demo with some fictive money. And, although my demo account is good with very good profit, I don't know how I will behave in real trading with real money.
I am glad I join this forum and I will be here everyday.

Thx Liquid...I am very familiar w/ the "TB Forum" ..several - if not most posts therein - are from us., i.e., Big1Red9etc. We are still going back and forth w/ EFX/MBT tech support (if that's what one would call it..) I really don't understand, because MBTalways had a good rep..but that was before this forex field they entered.
