    Hi guys,

    I am looking to found the best trading platform of the market, special designated for forex... I am not talking about the broker platforms...

    I am now testing UPDATA, soon I am going to try CGQ, ESIGNAL and FACTSET...

    Any recommendations for a other trading software? Or a combination of several? I am planning as well to use REUTERS 3000 Xtra, or Bloomberg, just not sure about Bloomberg...

    Any comments will be appreciate.

    thanks

    I've been testing a demo copy of InvestorRT, havent tried it with live data yet, but it seems very useable so far.
    Also they have lots of tutorial vids on the site.

    It is a trading platform but all the charting/news/research tools are there too

    Maybe worth a look?

    Deutsche (DB) has probably the best interface. Not necessary for charting through.
