Where you trade
The choice of platform determines the technical tools at your disposal. FXIFY offers a robust selection focused on mainstream and modern interfaces: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, DXTrade, and TradingView. This allows traders to use the industry-standard MT5 or the superior charting capabilities of TradingView.
Goat Funded Trader provides one of the widest platform ranges in the industry, catering to those looking for alternatives after the recent industry shifts:
- MatchTrader
- cTrader
- TradeLocker
- Volumetrica
- MetaTrader 5
Who executes your orders
Execution quality depends on the bridge between the firm and the market. FXIFY operates through FXPIG, a well-known broker that provides transparency regarding their feeds. They offer two distinct paths: an "All-In" feed with no commissions and a "Raw" feed for those who prefer tighter spreads.
Goat Funded Trader uses various Liquidity Providers rather than a single named broker. This setup is designed to handle the high volume of their multiple account types, though it lacks the specific institutional branding found in the FXIFY/FXPIG partnership.
