Hi,
I want to do auto trading, but I have never learned or knew JAVA and don't want to spend time on learning it. I have C experience. Meta Trader 4 is based on C so it also looks very "familiar" to me. Can you give any suggestion for my case? I hope to write my own automatic trading strategies from scratch from my own ideas. Can I use C or MT4 languages in any of your platforms?

BTW: What's the difference between retail account and standard account----are they both ECN based? Do you charge different commission rates? I am seriously thinking about start trading, but your standard account seems to be a little too high on deposit requirement as a starting point, but I am worry about opening retail account having too mange disadvantages.

Thanks a lot!

Hello,
Yes, you can write your strategies in MT4. The JForex have a built in strategy converter, which will translate your strategy and prepare to run it in the JForex.

Prices and liquidity are equal for all account types. There are no any disadvantages. Depending on account size and monthly traded volume, different trading commissions and overnights are applied. Dukascopy accepts all types of trading (including news trading, scalping etc).
To obtain more information about live accounts, please contact our sales team or request a call back.

Thanks for reply!
To make it clearer: what's the step to do if I only want to deal with MT4 (or C) and be able to use your platform------Should I write the MT4 outside and use your "strategy converter" in Jforex to convert, or I can directly write MT4 in jforex and then convert? Because to fine tune a strategy might needs a lot of "back-and-forths", I don't know how easy it is to convert MT4 to be usable.

Also, what's the "MetaTrader 4 Beta version" said on your website?

Thanks!

The both solution are acceptable.

You can write a MT4 code outside and just attach the MT4 code to the platform. The system will convert your strategy automatically to a Java code when you will press Run button.
