Why Should You Trade With TradeDirectFX? By Raghee Horner
I have been trading futures and stocks for many, many years. Funny enough my success in futures and stocks brought me to forex on the encouragement of a business partner who wanted me to see how my trading style worked on this "new" market. But I remembered the stories I heard from friend who did trade currencies...the "wild west" and "unregulated" usually was what I heard about. A big change came in 1999. The NFA and CFTC got into the picture and now this "unregulated" markets was now regulated and some U.S.-based brokers became NFA members and followed the regulations as set forth by the NFA.
It was back then that I was introduced to a forex trading platform. While others were blinking and flashing and looked more like a Vegas slot machine, this quiet blue and grey platform had a very professional and calm interface. Being an experienced trader I knew how important this was. But looks aren't everything so I looked closer and saw that the order execution of the platform was more functional and flexible. I had access to the basics: market, stop, and limit orders but also conditional orders like if/then, oco, and if/the oco. This gave me a whole new level of order entry control which I knew I needed in this 24 hour market.
I learned later that this platform was not originally a "retail" platform. That explained its functional interface...forgoing to whiz-bang of some many platforms we see nowadays.
Besides the order entry flexibility, I loved the built in calendar, research, instant account reports, and...my absolutely favorite feature: the commentary tab.
The platform had a very well-written, calm, and unemotional Forex Insider feature. This was a rolling update of key price levels, upcoming economic report release reminders, and other insights into price and trading activity. I didn't necessarily use all the updates but the ones that I needed like rumors that were moving the markets, key levels, and report reminders became a very trusted ally in my daily trading.
Now having written a book, traveling, speaking, and all the things that I do now, I have had many brokerages approach me but funny enough, I contacted this same company so that I could offer this platform that had been my first and favorite platform. I have tried and traded over a nine other platforms and I keep coming back to the one that I was lucky enough to discover back in 1999.
So I offer this platform, we call it TradeDirectFX. You're trading on a time tested platform. You're getting the best array of order entry options. And my beloved Forex Insider tab that I often talk about during my daily morning chats.
But we went a little further. You also get access to eSignal Forex charting. These are eSignal charts so you are getting data from 200 providers, not just a trading desk. You're getting the big picture as other trading desks, banks, and other institutions are reporting. See that's the difference between charting and data provider. With these eSignal charts, you get both. Oh, and they're free when you trading with TradeDirectFX.*
And yes, I still trade through this exact program. The same one I chose back in 1999.
