Why should I buy this?

As the title says.

What I do if I want to practice Forex trading is use FX Blue's EA and simulate historical data with MT4. Also you will most likely be trading live Forex on MetaTrader anyways.

So tell me, why get this when there are better ways to practice forex trading?

My thoughts as well. You can get a free demo account with plenty of brokers and play/learn to your heart's content, with 1:400-1:500 leverage and 100K to 1M in free money to play with. And why would someone actually good at trading spend his/her time using that knowledge in a game, instead of getting filthy rich doing real trading? I mean being good sitting at your computer playing CoD may not translate into being an awesome warrior IRL, while knowing how to trade Forex will be wasted if used on a game instead of the real world.

If it will work on Linux maybe I will buy it. I hope "Simulator" means the real history.

FX Blue and other mt4 plugins are buggy. They have hard to make multi timeframe and other inconvenient things.

Major timeframes are better and stable but so long to wait. It will be nice to have a button which will just show next bar on current timeframe when time is frozen.

I search simulator which is comfortable for VSA practice.

Developers, think about the powerful color theme system. The mt4 color theme system is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it has only 3(!) built in color schemes and you can't create and save your own or download and import from community.

Have you tried Soft4FX Forex Simulator[soft4fx.com]?

When I press "Change directory" in "Data Center" then all the dialog windows disappear and I only can close the chart.

Weird. Works fine on my end. And if you don't change the directory and go ahead and download historical tick data into the default one?

Also the prog dying when you open a dialog box looks like a system libraries issue. Are you sure you have followed the installation instructions[soft4fx.com], namely concerning the requirements and .Net version?

tl;dr you should buy this so the devs get a cut of every transaction you make from buying or selling currency on the Steam Market. You may not be able to make a cash withdrawl out of your Steam wallet but the devs sure can.

This in no way resembles how one would trade in real life. No stops, no tech., or fundamental charting. etc... A total waste.
