Profitable Trading Platform Recommendation?

[Hough Stafford]

Although there were a lot of trading platforms that are available today, but I need any suggestion on your preferable trading platform? I am in constant research regarding forex trading and its corresponding platform of which I am planning to shift into another one. Would there be any suggestion?

[Marco vd Heijden]

Yes MT4 and MT5.

[Sergey Golubev]

I suggest you Metatrader 5. Because it is MT5/MT4 forum, and because MT5 is most advanced and user friendly platform:

Any other platforms are not competitive with MT4 and especially with MT5.
