Traders are not allow to deposit using one source and withdrawal using different sources other than bank wire transfer. Our system is very efficient where we can track all incoming deposits. For example, if a trader deposits $5000 via e-bullion and $1000 via credit card, he/she can only withdraw $5000 plus the profit via e-bullion and $1000 plus the profit via credit card or bank wire for both.

Yes except for Credit Card depositors. Account holders who deposit via Credit Card can withdraw fund by only funding it back to the Credit Card account unless the deposit is made for more than 180 days. The reason for 180 days is because of the security rules with Credit Card company. Any deposit that is less than 180 days has to withdraw via funding back to credit card unless management approval. The 180 days period does not apply to e-bullion depositors.

I am very impressed with your platform. In operation your platform has the basic look and feel of VT platform. Is there a way that I can import the VT indicators into your MoneyForex Trader platform?


The current set of Indicators in our platfrom is built using our Indicator Builder tool (Menu: Tools / Indicator Bulder), which uses Metastock standard sintax scripting language - practically the same one as VT (with certain differences in syntax, like for example "Pr" instead of "_Period" in the Aroon Oscilator indicator).

We do not want to overcomplicate the basic client platform with indicators not often used - 35 of them is more than enough for a general user. However, if the trader is familiar with VT platform, then it will be no problem for him to copy and paste the formula of the loved Indicator from VT to MoneyForex Trader, and then save it with his user template. User is also capable to create his/her custom indicators, or edit the existing ones, using the same Indicator Builder tool.

On your forex trading platform one may enter the market in several ways market order buy or sell at market price; limit buy or sell or stop buy or sell; I'm not sure what the difference of these two, limit buy or sell an stop buy or sell is or when I should use them Can you please explain?


The difference is as follows:

Entry Stop Buy and Entry Limit Sell can be placed above the current market price. Of course they play two different roles:
Entry Stop Buy allows to enter the market if you think that the market will be inertially moving up far above the Entry order price.
On the contrary, the Entry Limit Sell allows to enter the market if you think that the market will reverse immediately after hitting the Entry order price.
Entry Limit Buy and Entry Stop Sell can be placed below the current market price. Their use is the same as for the other two, but in different market direction.
