thanx PTG;-)

In the end you ran with MBT, what tipped the scales in your choice of broker because obviously there is something that attracted you to join them, pros and cons?

kind regards


Good question.

I am with both, first MBT and then Dukascopy.

I wouldn't want to deal with a non-ECN broker; you don't want to trade against your broker, especially not with intraday trading. With swing- and position trading it becomes less of an issue because the cost of trading per pip gained ratio is much lower. Another reason for me at the time to go with MBT was because TRO was/is an IB to MBT.

Alternatively, you can trade futures on forex for daytrading. Check out TP Futures, they have low margins. They support Ninja.

Whatever you do, you need to do your own due diligence. Don't believe what others say (and that includes me), check it yourself and study all the smallprint. One simply has to do this; this is a business and not gambling (for me it isn't).

There are several sites with broker ratings, like www.forexpeacearmy.com where you can get an idea of what is going on.

If I were to make a decision at this moment, based on my current experience, I would go for Dukascopy. I reserve the right to be wrong, however. As with trading, time will tell if you made the right choice.

Hope this helps.

I'm having a huge problem trying to open a demo account with them... I was given a user name and Password but the dang thing don't work on SWMT4... So what now? :P

I like the idea of hedging my positions which MBT doesn't allow.

Hola J

contact their support team, im sure it's a minor issue to them. ;-)

Q?: Is the Dukas MT4 better than the JForex in any way or it's only a preference of platform for you?

Jalarupa and all members,

About the MT4 demo, the confusion probably comes from the demo login you used registering directly from the MT4 platform.

You first need to register using the button "MT4 DEMO (Beta)" true the "Open MT4 Beta Demo" link in my Website http://www.Molecule6.com (Do not forget to check the MT4 box). Then, the system will send you an e-mail with your Login and password. Look for the MT4 section in the e-mail. After, you download the platform (there is also a link in my Website) install the platform as you do normally but after, you go to file / Login and use the login received from the Dukascopy e-mail. You will then be in the Beta demo at Dukascopy.

If this is not working well, let me know, I will connect to your computer and assit you in the installation...

Andre

Hello Andre,

Members,

JForex is by far the fastest and most solid platform I ever traded on. I am a scalper so it is very important for me. It would be less important for swing and position traders. MT4 is the very best for charting as the visual and the flexibility to use templates and profiles is very user friendly and evolved.

If it suit your trading style, you can use MT4 for charting then take your positions on JForex. Note that JForex support automation and that most of the MT4 EAs can be translated in Java for JForex. Further more, a team was assemble at Dukascopy to make MT4 EAs compatible directly in JForex. It is in the works and we will have something to test soon.

Andre

Thanks, you're welcome, billie-on-air.

You will make the right decision for yourself, whatever the decision is.

I have found M6Andre to be very supportive and very fast in his responses so far, so in case you have any questions/issues, I'm sure he will help you the best he can.
