MT4 platform, easy, liquid and fast execution
perhaps I pay a bit more, but I get in and out in a heartbeat
Could you expand on this?
Is this a competing crypto-exchange?
Cheers
nope is not crypto-exchange, it is just a Broker which offers to trade BTC/USD and this is all what matters to me, fast and furious , I know my fee, no manipulation no wait , enter order and get filled in a second , sell/ buy same ..I dont care about any other thing as a trader, as long as I get what I ask for..
which is not the case with OL exchange at all
I dont need to become a scientist nor do I want too, to understand how this Broker works, because I am not, I trade and make or lose money...that is all what counts to me..
The problem with this new exchanges is, only a few ppl understand it and because they do, they dont understand why
none technician dont and because of it, getting scared...and live in uncertainty
Better OL changes this, because I will not trade at this platform if I get much better options
First of all, MT4 (or MetaTrader 4) is NOT a broker. It's a software platform developed for FX brokers by MetaQuotes Software Corporation. Obviously the software can be customized for non FOREX trading...such as crypto-currency exchange trading. But I believe the only crypto-currency exchange supported is BTCe, which I assume is because they paid for that customization so they could offer the MT4 trading UI to their clients.
As for ease of use, it's really not that easy to set MT4 up for trading BTC with BTC-e. I've actually gone through the process myself in the past, and anyone interested in seeing what the process is like can click on the video below in which someone shows how to do it. (Please note the guy in the video says "there are several exchanges that allow you to trade crypto-currencies". He means that in general. But keep in mind only BTC-e has support for MT4 as far as I know.)

Especially if they want some of the advanced features of MT4 such as the MQL4 programming language, or its tools for the development, testing, and optimization of trading robots. Such features could be very interesting for a UI integrated with the Bitshares exchange...and maybe someday OpenLedger will work with MetaQuotes Software Corp. to customize MT4 for use on the Bitshares network.
In the meantime, OpenLedger offers a trading UI (based on the Bitshares default UI) which is less sophisticated than MT4, but far better designed than the default trading interfaces of most (if not all) crypto-currency exchanges.
Anyway, since you're currently using MT4 (assuming you really are using it), please tell us more specifically what you can do with it that you cannot do with OpenLedger. And don't tell us you can "trade BTC/USD fast and furious", because that's not a feature. Also, in case you didn't realize, liquidity has nothing to do with the UI. We know that liquidity on the Bitshares exchange is lacking, but it's still early in the game, and liquidity is steadily growing as more and more people are using the DEX via OpenLedger or the Bitshares default UI.
