Dear Achilles28,

We love the fact you've expressed your view about . We are always open to feedback and also also to hints on the best way best to improve our platform. We would love to ask you to elaborate on the poor layout of your comment regarding. Could you please describe what you didn't like about this platform? Maybe it can enhance if we know what is bothering you.

Regarding the execution and slippage, we do whatever required on our side to offer the best execution possible to traders. However execution is not only influenced by the trading platform but by other factors as well, so it will be better to discuss this matter directly with the broker.

Best Regards,

It seems almost as though you do not utilize Metatrader with some brokers?

IC Markets has True ECN

I find them really good, Australia is blessed with many good brokers and Excellent regulators, as far as we know, possibly when the schitt strikes thew fan it could be distinct

You'd be very restricted with Metatrader, learning new platform for each broker
