NinjaTrader
If you have traded FX, CFD’s, or Commodities, then most likely, you have heard about NinjaTrader. But, what you didn’t know is that NinjaTrader’s capability depends much on the broker. And, if you are serious about order execution speed, then NinjaTrader and ZEN-Fire is what you need!
CTN Systems
No Automation But this is a great Day Trader Platform. I got my demo account about 1 hour ago and honestly, within 15mins, I was making trades with ease. Drag and Drop Pending orders, Close Group orders, 1 click execution, Market Two, Fully Customizable Interface, and super fast processing. This platform is comparable to Dukascopy’s, but with a few perks!
ProTrader
The interface, features, and the people behind this project are truly amazing. I think the name, suits its perfectly. ProTrader Trading platform is not limited to 1 liquidity provider, is not limited to 1 Coding language, and is not designed by the broker, but for the broker. Custom Chart intervals, Strategy automation in MQL4, C#, VB.NET and EasyLanguage Supported. Drag and Drop Entry Orders, The best Technical Analysis Tool Tray. Charts can be adjusted to your Time-Zone. 1 Click execution buttons, Multiple order grouping, modify, and closing functions. Built In Tick charts. Chat with your Community. Sell or Buy trading signals and so much more. The possibilities are endless!
PT Multistation
Retail Traders are not left out this time. With all the same features as the ProTrader, they are now offering PT Multistation. ” I logged in using FXCM using API. Besides the random disconnect failures (Caused from the Broker, not the Platform), this platform is ROCK SOLID
Honestly, why be limited to just your brokers software? Why not use a trading platform that works with any liquidity provider? If you can’t get the price, fill, or execution you want, switch to another liquidity provider in seconds.
Remember, that the Brokers work for us.. Dont let them work you!
MetaTrader: The main disadvantages of MetaTrader is that the platform is Tick driven. Which means, you have to wait for the next tick to Open and Close your trade. This is extremely inconvenient and allows much uncertainty when you are trying to open and close your trades while the market is volatile. MetaTrader was also designed allowing Brokers to take advantage of their clients. Metaquotes offers a Broker Plugin that will requote your orders, slow down execution speed, Give you off quotes, Trade context Busy, and Old Ticks. Now, all of these symptoms allow the broker to manipulate the true market condition at their advantage. Because of this Broker Plugin, you should not trust ANY MetaTrader broker. Brokers will continue to lie and say that they do not use this Plugin and this is a battle that we can not win. Save yourself the headaches and Avoid all MetaTrader brokers All together.
The Tick driven functionality of MetaTrader also limits the possibility to Close Group orders. For example, if you are a position builder as I am , I will place small orders with the direction of the trend and close all of these orders out at one specific price. Unfortunately, with Metatrader, this is not an option. You can use a Trading Script that will close all your orders, however, each order will be closed separately, meaning that only 1 order can be closed out with each new tick. This inconvenience ultimately leads to many lost pips, as our orders can not close out at the specific price that we want. When I am using a MetaTrader Broker for scalping, I often lose 2-5 pips on each trade and sometimes much more when the market is volatile. Please visit Liquidity Providers for a few Suggested MetaTrader brokers if you still choose to use MetaTrader.
FXDD Trader
The FXDD Trader Platform offers basic trading features, basic charting, and margin monitor. FXDD Trader does have multiple account capabilities. The charts lack customization. Tick charts are are better than Metatrader, but are not as solid as Dukascopy. I could not find a solution for 1 click execution, even though they advertise 1 click execution. 1 Click opens up a market order box similar to Metatrader. Margin Monitor is Nice, but a little overboard. This Platform is nothing special and does not have the easy trading features like some other platforms.

Java Based-Depth of market monitor-Access the deepest pools of liquidity (8 of the worlds largest banks)-Low commissions (volume discount)-Ability to customize a pre-determined order size with one-click execution- Trade from Chart: 1 Click entry orders- Voice automation when orders are executed. Easy navigation. Switch between charts and or 1 click buttons quickly. The platform can be a small yet efficient trading platform window. I really liked the easy technical analysis charting options and the clean charts. Very nice platform overall.
The down side: This is not a beginners platform with easy Take profit and Stoploss setting. You really need to know what you are doing. You have to enter the market with 1 order and setup another order to close out your position. You do not have the functions to close your orders at a single click like most retail platforms. However, for the experienced traders, My trading methodology would work great with this platform because, I know where to set entry orders and I know where to set Take profits. If you trade Support and Resistance based on Price action Only, then this platform is suitable. The user interface is professional, the functions are easy to use. Charts are fully customizable, execution is lightning fast and this is a Real liquidity providing platform. This is the real deal. You can use this platform with a Minimum of $1000.
