Platforms:

Z.com offers his trading services through the most popular trading platform in the world – Meta Trader 4. You could use desktop, web or mobile version of the platform (both iOS and Android). For more advanced traders the company offers industry-standard FIX 4.4 protocol.

Metatrader 4

The Metatrader platform is not just a simple platform that allows you to trade. It offers much more. The ability to create or import custom indicators and expert advisors gives almost unlimited possibilities. Even if the user is not good at programing he can take advantage of the huge social portals for Metatrader custom software. And not only that, this list continues with build-in VPS options for the algo traders. The build-in social trading can bring together the investors and traders using Metatrader.

The clients from the 3 (classic, ecn and ecn plus) account types get access also to the Education and Analytical Portal. There you can get quick access to all economic events, news, and all-important announcements that can affect the markets. There are other things like trading strategies, analysis and video courses that can help you to improve your trading performance.

Conclusion:

Z.com is a broker with a well-known platform. Unfortunatelly the advertised 0.1 spread includes a commission will result in average for the market trading conditions. The required 10k to open account is too much unless you are a professional trader. If you are new or have little experience we recomend using brokers with much less required money to open account and option to open micro account. You can click here to see a review of such broker.
