Hi everyone,

I'm Chris Reynolds, Head of Sales and Operations at ThinkForex, and we've decided to take part in the ForexFactory discussion to keep you all up to date and most importantly answer any questions and respond to any issues you have.

I know from my experience on ForexFactory and other forums you will have lots of questions and comments for me, so please feel free to ask me anything. If of course you have specific questions about your trades or funding/withdrawals then it is much better to contact [email protected] directly or using your cPortal or by giving us a call so that you can get service or assistance as fast as possible.

I look forward to talking to you, so feel free to ask away!

Useful - I'm going away next week, so may check in using the web platform.

Is it any good? A lot of webtraders are quite limited - anyone used it?

Hi gregosv,

Thanks for your questions. The web platform is by the nature of it fairly limited. It is a simple to use, basic platform which is good for when you are on the go. Obviously being a web platform, things like EAs cannot be used, but it still has good charting featuring a range of indicators. One good feature is also the wide range of languages available, but I'm not sure if that is of interest to you.

Obviously if you'd like a walkthrough of the platform, just give us a call and we'll be glad to help!

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

We will of course be looking to upgrade our webtrader just as we look to improve everything we offer. We will have an exciting update in the next week which will benefit everyone, but will also boost your ability to trade using a web based platform. More will of course be revealed in due course.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi everyone,

It is a big week here at ThinkForex and we have an exciting launch scheduled for later this week. We'll be launching a new platform to all of our clients, and we'll send you all details over the coming days.

The platform has a number of key features, but one of the biggest advantages is the fact that it allows you all to trade with our new liquidity and get spreads typically around 0.1-0.5 on majors (during the most liquid trading periods). Unlike MT4, there are going to be no restrictions on the maximum trade sizes, and you'll be able to place orders as close to the market as you like, and even within the spread.

Order execution will be lightning fast with everything hosted right next to the liquidity providers and major banks, so it is going to be an unrivaled trading experience for you all, giving you even more reason to switch to ThinkForex!

Just for Forex Factory members, I'll deposit $100 onto your live ThinkForex account if you are the first person to reply to this post correctly guessing the platform we're going to offer.

Cheers,
Chris

It's not MT5 is it? That will be a huge disappointment!

Is this what you said about a new Web platform? Is that it?

No, not MT5!

The platform is available both as a download and as a webtrader platform. The web version has basically all of the features of the download platform as well, so you will not miss out when you are on the go...

cTrader??cAlgo??
Well, that didn't take long!

Well done to Muzza, being the first to hit the nail on the head... As you have guessed, we are launching cTrader (and cAlgo) this week. We're excited to give this alternative platform to everyone, which only adds to the range we have available.

Personally, I am quite new to cTrader, but I like it. I've been an MT4 user both at broker level and from the client perspective for many years, and now having used cTrader I can see a number of differences. I'm sure there are some with the same love/hate relationship for cTrader just like MT4, but we're really excited about what this offers you all. We'll have a couple of webinars scheduled later this week to run through the benefits of the platform, so anyone interested is welcome to contact me directly for the details, and they'll be on our site shortly (http://www.thinkforex.com/education/weekly-webinars).

Muzza - send me a private message with your account number and I'll get your prize sorted out!

Cheers
