Agreed. I'd take a simple and solid Java platform over any ea/indicator-oriented platform with millions of distracting TA features.

OANDA Discussion

Well there is nothing to bitch about then, just use TP/SL orders.

OANDA Discussion

I hear Oanda are currently working on a metatrader 5 implementation, not sure if this is true.

Both are okay really. Dukascopy provides more leverage though (100:1 against 50:1 by Oanda) in case you need that.

Dukascopy or Oanda?

They'll most likely provide it if you guys ask. They probably don't think it's that important since almost no one has been expressing a need for it until now. If your disconnection issues are so bad that you feel you may need a second channel for ...

lol Great advice right there.

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

Nobody said it's "useless", and obviously we're addressing the software from the viewpoint of retail forex traders. And even if you were some institutional trader, for a one time payment to a skilled programmer you could get a platform coded with ...

Bloomberg Launchpad

Exactly.

Bloomberg Launchpad

Nothing particularly new or spectacular about it. Just the same old type of info wrapped in a new cover and hyped up. I wouldn't trade with it if it were for free, let alone at $1500 per month.

I've addressed this in my answer to your PM. Btw, make sure your savings account can send international wire transfers. I know some savings accounts (such as swissquote's savings accounts) can't do that.

If I'm low-capitalized (less than 1K) I'd go with Oanda. If I have a medium sized starting capital (1k to 10K) I'd go with either Dukascopy or MBT. If I have 10K or more I'd go with IB. All of these I know are quality brökers.

Either they added that recently or I missed it when I browsed their website. I would stay away nevertheless. Choose a well-established, well-capitalized, well-regulated broker with at least 5 years in the business.

Dukascopy

They don't even publish a company address in their website or say where they're based. They don't publish whether they're regulated or not. What does that tell you? Is that a company where serious traders/investors would trade, or is it only some ...

Both are okay, but I'd say Dukascopy simply because of the increased leverage (100:1) which you might need if you're a scalper.

Dukascopy or MBTrading - which one is better for professional scalping?

And how is that any different? Both skills require an ability to predict where price is heading (at a better-than-chance rate). If you don't have that skill, you won't be able to make accurate trades, nor consistently have trades where ...

I thought they already introduced those a while ago.

Yeah you have to worry about the quality of the data too. Gain capital's data from url is NOT good quality data. Dukascopy's data on the other hand is good. The same with Oanda's data if you have access to it.
