For those speculating in the market, what trading platform or tools are you actually using?

Goxtool (linux)
Sierra Chart (trading not yet released)
Exchange website (Mt. Gox, BTC-E, etc.)
Other software (?)

I'm new to trading bitcoin but have some experience with stocks and forex, and at first glance the Mt. Gox and BTC-E's platforms appear very primitive to what you would get on even basic services like E-Trade or Oanda. Wondering what people are actually using to execute their trades?

Thanks,



I use Bitfinex for leverage. You can trade internally, on Gox or Bitstamp. So, liquidity is getting much better, and the fees are low. You can also lend USD and BTC at decent interest rates for a low risk investment.

I also trade on BTC-e. Yes the are all primitive, but they do the job.

SierraChart for charts. Every exchange is available on SC except Bitfinex (They should have a FIX api up soon though, and I will be writing a SierraChart feed for that when they do).
