You really need a pro platform to the trade the open. When I was at Bright I think we used Redi, cleared though GS. And most guys automate it. I use IB and I wouldn't consider doing OO's with that.
Heard so too. The high commissions as compared to many other online brokers turn out to be a very expensive proposition.
I’ve been using thinkorswim for both forex and futures and the charts displayed including the software’s technical indicators make for a good platform. However, I’m on a lookout for another broker/trading platform for diversification. Any suggestions?
I’ve been trading with fxview and Swissquote for forex and indices. Their commissions are low and they offer CFDs on instruments along with major, minor, and exotic currency pairs. I tried my hand for the first time recently with gold and oil and did better than expected
