[Ricard Dorman]

Yes, Mt4 trading platform is my favorite trading platform! I know, Mt5 is available in the market but I am not interested! Although, I trade based on the technical analysis! I am happy on the technical stuff of the mt4 trading platform! My trading strategy is based on 4 default and 3 custom indicators! It providers me more than 60% monthly profit! By the way, I have no plan to change my trading platform.
