Just a reminder to everyone: we are talking about spot forex trading.
It’s scary and disgusting what you can read in the above link about the MetaTrader Virtual Dealer Plug-In and what fraudulent dealers can do with it.
Some people argue good things about MetaTrader. So the question is, what if you choose a trustworthy broker?
I think it’s very important to choose a trustworthy broker regardless of application you use. It’s a base for you, so it’s very important.
So I assume everyone chooses a trustworthy broker whether he wants to use MetaTrader or another platform to trade…
The question is, if you choose a trustworthy broker, may you choose MetaTrader (if you think it is better for you), or regardless of the trustworthiness of a broker, MetaTrader bears a higher level of risk (fraud) compared to e.g. NinjaTrader? Or if you choose a big, well-known, trustworthy commodity-futures broker who also offers forex and MetaTrader, (e.g. Interactive Brokers, PFG Best etc.), this guarantees that the use of MetaTrader with him as safe and non-fraudulent as the use of e.g. NinjaTrader? And you can get equally good fills (fast execution, no slippage, no requote) as with NinjaTrader?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
There is much negativity regarding MT4. It is not MT4 that is shady it is the broker behind it. There are actually a fe MT4 brokers out there that are offering conflict free trading, fast executions, deep liquidity and will allow your ea or strategy to operate without interference. The tough part is finding the 2-3 decent ones out there! I love trading on MT4 because the charting is decent, if I were to switch FX brokers I don't have to learn a new platform, and for a cheap fee i can get my strategy automated and turned into an EA.
There are scripts out there for MT4 that allows 1 click trading, etc. MT4 is great if an individual wants to create custom indicators or automate their strategy into an expert advisor. There are many professional programmers that can turn your strategy into a robot for very little money. The charting is decent and I trade at a broker that is straight through processing all orders and i'm getting filled instantly without slippage. If you can create this environment for your trading you have a real chance to execute your strategy and make some money...
I don't really want to hype or promote brokers on this forum but discuss MT4 trading etc...if you are looking for a honest, straight through processing, conflict free trading broker PM me and I will give you your options depending on what country you live in.
