spread betting on MT4

[price777999]

hi ,im looking for a spread bet firm that uses the MT4 platform .

 

[£10kLoser]

There isn't one (unless things have changed in the last couple of weeks).

Yes we are still waiting, it would be a boost for this company, who would be the first to offer a MT4 platform on spread betting.

Justspreads.com claim to - don't do it myself yet so can't give any feedback, perhaps you can if you try it.

Odl?

Just Spreads are a white lable Capital Spreads, so don't do MT4.

Odl

I thought Odl stopped doing MT4?

Maybe I have missed something - justspreads.com clearly say you can use metatrader on thier spreadbetting platform on thier website, they dedicate an entire page to it. So what if its an LCG whitelabel - if it does the job, use it.

Unfortunately ODL do not allow use of MT on thier spreadbetting option.

Well, why don't you provide the link so we can all see it?

Sure, sorry should have done that at the outset http://www.justspreads.co.uk/metatrader.htm

I contacted them today and they outlined that they don't do direct trading from MT, they encourage you to use it for indicators etc but then to place your bet with them seperately on thier web platform. Trading is a continual learning process.

Right, so as we said, no spread betting company uses MetaTrader!

Nor will they...

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know of a reputable CFD broker using MT4?

Currently use IG, but would love to use MT4 as well.

I and a few hundred others I know (no exageration) have been using FXPro.com for over a year without a problem.

They have a huge range of instruments and tight spreads.

Why won't spread betting companies use MetaTrader ?

 

[£10kLoser]

I believe the answer is that they have less control over the price and spread.

I use MT4 with ODL for FX.

Can write 'Expert Advisers' to automating trade execution / management and will use the same funds as is my general web based interface.

If I remember correctly, you would have to request it separately when opening the account though.

I use MT4 with ODL for FX.

When I rang ODL and they said that MT4 cannot be used on thier spreadbet accounts - are you using it a spreadbet account ?

Apologies, it has been a while since I have looked into it.

I have signed up and am using EA's / MT for putting on trades, I dont think it is classed as spread betting though.

Cheers,
