Popular platforms?

You mentioned you grew a few k account into a very large account with this indicator but now you don't trade anymore and want to sell it?

Folks I've got some ocean front property in .......
 
Yes, I've also wrote why i don't trade anymore, and why i want to share my discoveries with the world.

There is nothing strange really, i know different traders that like me after a decade of daytrading everyday are tired of it, i traded so much, had my experiences, now i look for a less stressful way of life, i don't think this is something bad.

Also, i really want to share my discoveries with the world, and why not make some money in the process?
Oh btw i plan to offer free trials on my indicator, so everybody will be able to test them and then decide if it's worth paying for it or not.

To forewind:
It is an indicator that basically disassemble the market structure and show its fractal geometry interactions , giving to the trader an understanding about how markets works.

The "bad" thing is that it give an objective view, showing the complexity of the market geometry, this mean it is not maybe suitable for every investor, but i also plan to present it with various videos and guides that explain the various concepts on which the indicators are based.

A lot of work to do yet.
 
Thank you for your great reply, it's full of useful information and insights.

I must ask you a question, but please keep in mind in no way i intend to offend you or be rude, i just need to understand.

You say you are a pro, this mean (i guess) trading is your job and/or you do trade for a bank/fund.

Yet, you say 500$/month is expensive.

I am not a pro, never worked for or managed funds of big institutions, however as a small fx retail trader i started from a few k usd and grown them, i don't trade anymore but in the good times 500usd was half of the commissions/spread costs paid to place every single trade (and i placed many trades everyday as a daytrader). And yes all my "success" in trading is thanks to my indicator btw.

Now i read "$500 is not only very expensive and I mean expensive", perhaps my ideas about "pros" are exaggerated, i would really love to have access to some information such as "average account size" of various platform users, because right now I'm very confused.

As a starter you don't need to pay 500/month, you need to figure out trading which is very hard, you need to learn the platform which is a lot, figure out your style and product (s) your good at. Start a small account, you don't need to be in 10 contracts by any means. Is start w a simple good platform which is free or 100 a month, then you move to say x trader.

I own a fine but started exactly where you are talking about.
 
I use x trader for trading dax, market delta charts, looking at using cqg w market delta charts as i am extending into SGX OSAKA KOREA MARKETS OR IN.
I currently just started using meta for as is but I need a platform with more bells.
 
tradestation sucks!

Oh and don't listen to this list by stockbrokers.com and barrrons, if you google best platfors it brings up etrade and schwab and bs like that, tradestation is a good starter platform and user friendly (I started on it way back when actually) but way to high commissions, you can get much faster execution, better charts on and on. Don't listen to advertised posts. Listen to real traders. Just thought I'd add that.
 
Most platforms advertised say on tv are meant for the avg guy who wants to be part of the market, so the commercial shows all these bells and whistles an architect or a lawyer or what have you thinks oh neat but it takes time and I mean time to learn oscillators and TPA's etc...

So these are meant to bring in the avg guy then they kill the person on commissions.
