As someone new to spread-betting generally and Forex specifically, I thought I was going to struggle to understand how they come together. I have found the ETX platform user friendly and if anything I have not explored it enough. The basic functions are straightforward and all you need, however, help is available on line or at the end of a telephone. I meet with other people trading Forex who spend much of their day surfing around different brokers instead of investing time in developing a sound trading system and then using ETX to execute their strategy. I am delighted that I found ETX first time around and see no reason to go elsewhere.
