trying to sort out the tools
Posted: Sat Jun 27, 2009 7:31 am
Hi, I reletivly new to trading, and as such, I have been sucked into the MT4 crowd.
However, I don't think it is the best tool to use, nor do I particularly like it. It is a memory hog, and likes to block my computer up like feeding cheese to a cat.
I also got into a broker that I am sure TRO would not like, Investech. They have low 'fixed' spreads, which of course means they are taking it out in both a small commision (10 cents per micro lot .01) and apparently the moment I open a trade, I start at a deficit. So every trade I do, I'm working up hill.
I just want to know an honest brokerage I can use, and a good platform that will run TROs stuff, so I can basically start over and re-learn, but on better terms.
Also, I find that Investech will not let me modify an order within 10 pips. this drives me batty, as I just want to do 5 pip trades if I can. Any suggestions? Maybe a script I can run to open a trade the way I want it, everytime?
Thanks!
