FxPro is a proven platform, by time and by traders.
I hve heard a lot about it, and eventually started trading with them.
So far the journey is favorable, I close at least 3-5 deals per week in plus, even though I also have some losses. But I am learning... and yeah their courses help me cognize trading industry. There are many comprehensive materials for traders of all levels.
As for platform, then I went for mt4 because it's the most hyped platform with fast execution. I have read about their NDD model and it looks appealing. Milliseconds to execute a deal - that is cool :)
