Trading Platforms
One of the best things about CedarFX is that the broker uses MetaTrader 4 as its sole trading platform. Instead of routing you through a proprietary trading platform – which at many brokers is less flexible than MetaTrader 4 – CedarFX recognized that this platform is beloved by traders for a good reason.
With MetaTrader 4, you have complete control over your trading dashboard. You can pull up multiple charts at once to view several assets or different timescales. You can also access dozens of built-in technical studies and drawing tools to analyse the market. If MetaTrader 4 doesnt offer an indicator you need, you can leverage the built-in scripting language to write the indicator yourself or turn to the MetaTrader community marketplace to find pre-made indicators from other traders.
They also allow for hedging, scalping and news trading. If you would like to use electronic assistants or ‘Robots’, these too are welcomed by this broker.
Founded in 2014, Olymp Trade has been operating for over a decade, expanding its services and user base considerably, now offering focused trading in fixed-time trades (previously known as binary options in some regions) and Forex. Specifically, Olymp Trade operates two trading modes: fixed-time trades and forex mode. Fixed-time trades refer to trades with predetermined expiration times, where traders predict market movement directions. Payouts typically range from 70-90% of the investment amount. Forex Mode is a more traditional forex trading approach with variable leverage (up to 1:500 for experienced traders). At the same time, it allows for more sophisticated trading strategies with customisable take-profit and stop-loss orders.
