Metatrader is the best platform to my mind. You are not limited by the features it offers, best charting and technical analysis. I think it is likely to be the industry standard in the nearest future.
Oanda is also fine, but the software is without all the bells and whistles. ))))

The best is to use MT4 for charting and Oanda for trading.

Oanda is probably the best of the retail brokers. haven't seen an MT4 shop that isn't a low level bucket shop yet - but maybe someday...

Until you have an acct large enough to go w/ a true ECN the above is your best setup.

Hi

I am going to test same expert advisors on Alpari U K vs ODL securities and keep you posted

We will see the difference in performance between the two

I have traded futures with interactive brokers and I had no complaints.

I have a feeling ODL is probably run professionaly
