Michael Carpenter
Forex Platform Reviewer & Trading Tools Tester
About Michael Carpenter
Michael Carpenter is a hands-on forex trader and reviewer with 8 years of experience testing platforms, indicators, VPS setups, and broker execution under live conditions. He began trading part-time while working in IT operations, then shifted to full-time tool testing and performance benchmarking—logging thousands of trades and tracking real-world metrics like latency, slippage, uptime, and order-fill quality.
Michael specializes in practical platform evaluation: MetaTrader vs. cTrader workflows, mobile reliability, charting and backtesting limitations, copy-trading risks, and how broker conditions show up in real trade outcomes. His reviews focus on what a trader actually experiences—account setup friction, funding/withdrawal speed, spread behavior during volatility, and whether features work as advertised.
His goal is to help readers choose tools that match their strategy and avoid paying for features they don’t need. Michael believes reviews should be reproducible and grounded in data, so he documents test methods clearly and highlights trade-offs—because the “best” platform is the one that supports your process, risk limits, and consistency.
