HYCM MetaTrader 5
1. it is best suited in terms of algorithmic trading, where it helps in better understanding with time intervals and easy-to-use UI . Best for forex trading. 2. Security feature is not well trusted. anyone can join, anyone can fake with screenshots and pics and can show the fake profits which are breaking the trust. There must be a system to not support these activities.

Usability

I have never had any issues using the product, my biggest complaint is that admins cannot change their usernames and the ones that are generated are very hard to remember.

Highly comparable. thinkorswim was a great platform and Fidelity has achieved competing against it. Ease of learning curve with training and the ability to configure exactly what the user wants to see is a huge plus. The customizations available are a major bonus and Fidelity's overall customer experience is a beacon in the marketplace.
