So I use Ninjatrader with GainCapital because then Ninjatrader becomes free (instead of $999)
The execution is pretty good, but the platform shuts down for NEWS, and the spread is 3 for EURUSD, 4 for the rest, 5 for GBPUSD, 9 for GBPJPY.
I have to say I'm pretty happy with all this, but could I do better?
I know Oanda has pretty tight spreads - but I absolutely HATE their platform.
Honestly, how does Oanda make money then? What options do you guys think I have - I'd rather keep using Ninjatrader and I doubt it'll work with Oanda.
Ideally, I'd be using NT with lower spreads (fixed) (I don't trade NEWS). Any suggestions? Any 2 pips?
Thanks
