Is MetaTrader That Bad?

A

AJFCapital

I keep hearing people say that it's programed to work against you!

I have been demo trading for a year now, and have found MT to be very easy to use. So I am actually looking for a broker with MT.

---------------------------------------------------

A lot of the problems that I have read online are about spikes and stophunting.

Can you get around a lot of the MT problems buy placing market orders, and just remembering the SL & TP (not entering them in an order).

Wow.....I thought it was just the occasional spike. That sucks!

I see from one of your other posts in "Make a living trading FOREX" that you use Oanda...I'll have to check them out

Oanda also has a dealer plug-in, difference is that it is not for rent 0)

Up to this point, I haven't joined the "cabletrader is an Oanda shill" camp. But this thread, and especially that last line, sounds awfully like it was written by the same person...

I think they're certainly worth a look, but like puretruth said it's quite likely most marketmakers (including Oanda) operate similar software applications.

Oh but I forgot, you're unable to have a reasoned and logical debate....try FF they're easily impressed over there, they probably won't even notice your deficiencies :D

Hey now, I've been willing to give you the benefit of the doubt much more than others on here. There was just something about AFJ's response that seemed a bit off..

But anyway, it's amazing outside, and I know better than to bother feeding trolls. :p
