Advice on beginner platform for chart trader? TradingView or QTrader?
I recently exited trading Forex (using MT5) as my broker no longer accepted Canadian clients. I have settled on trading Futures and am looking to transfer my funds over to Ampfutures. I would like some advice on which platform is better suited for me, I currently have demo-ed a bunch and here's what I narrowed it down to.
About Me:
- Charting is necessary, ideally responsive with changing TFs, etc.
- DOM is nice to have to do limit orders, but not going to do any DOM scalping
- System is a MacBook (I have BootCamp installed for any Windows only platform)
- Would like a free platform or at least price built into per trade fees instead of a monthly subscription
TradingView:
- Easy to use for me, I'm familiar with the ins and outs
QTrader:
- I'd have to boot into Windows every time for a trading session
- Less intuitive, I definitely need a bit of time to figure things out
- Better support, live chat with CQG for platform specific questions.
Any other considerations I should be aware of for either platforms?
Thanks in advance
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
You can have CQG credentials that plug into TradingView and CQG Q Trader. You can have one login interchanged between the two, or have two separate logins linking to the same account. I hope this helps?
