Apple is coming up with 32 and 37 inch tv called iTV in 1Q12 and samsung is producing chips for the iTVs. Apple has launched Apple TV in 2006 but it flopped, see how it goes next quarter.

Charts

 

I also like the charts in Saxo, they have almost everything from BB, SAR, ADX, PKS, MAC, RSI, MA, Fibo, etc. the workspaces are also customisable, can just drag the tabs everywhere, i can put 6 charts in 1 screen along with the technical indicators. everythings just drag and drop.

 

CFD can access most of major exchanges from US, UK, Europe, Asia. The Singapore and hongkong commissions are also cheaper

MT IB Saxo

 

MT

Adv: forex robots

Dis: not web based

Cmts: MT5 is coming out, but I heard it's not as good as MT4

 

IB

Adv: have warrants and structured products, ekcecution quite fast, they have quite huge range of products

Disadv: dun like the platform

 

Saxo

Adv: has account summary which is consolidated for FX,CFD,commodities,stocks,etc, so v v easy to monitor profit/loss at a glance

Disadv: can only open account in Singapore

I heard they are IB for FXCM, I wonder if they have office in Asia, Indonesia particularly???

MT is another platform with a black background, the look and feel is kind of old ... maybe i'm still not used to it, still tyring it out. still prefer the windows based saxo - the range of currency pairs, commodities and indexes offered is gooooodd, i'm trading gold now btw, price dropped from 1746 to 1718 in 1 day !!! ... ooh my heart just broke

tnx for the recco, i just downloaded saxo, i must say, the software interface is pretty impressive (i like the instrument search function, it's just like a google search, type the code/company name, and walaahh.... it appears, very very easy!!), compared to IB which is all black and java based. i'm still trying it out, i am also still trying MT since lots of people are using it

based on your experience, what is the best trading platform for FX and CFDs??? Tried using IB, platform looks very dull and difficult to use
