Sales Support Terrible - “ Omar “

Have spent 3 days back and forth dealing with Sales Support with “Omar” who is not helpful at all! I’ve explained what happened about 100 times, I want to pay and still no help.
This has now wasted hours of my times over the last 3 days!

At the beginning it’s really hard

At the beginning it’s really hard. They also have this exten ugly webpage and the YouTube guy has a terrible voice using a 1 dollar mic. But their software is fantastic. Especially the DOM / MBO part is the best in industry. They also take your suggestions serious and the chance is high that you will
Find your suggestion weeks later in their update. Love the MotiveWave family

Trading on Mac/Linux in top quality

An Outstanding Trading Platform for Mac/Linux/Windows Users

MotiveWave is hands-down the best trading platform for Mac OS users. After testing multiple platforms, I can confidently say that MotiveWave stands out for several reasons.

Firstly, the platform’s seamless performance on Mac and Linux OS is impressive. While many trading platforms are PC-centric, MotiveWave delivers a smooth and reliable experience for Mac and Linux users without compromising on features or speed.

Another huge advantage is that MotiveWave can connect to a wide range of brokers, including AMPFutures, Interactive Brokers, TopStep, and many more. This level of flexibility is a game-changer, especially when other platforms often force you into using their specific broker services. With MotiveWave, you have the freedom to choose the broker that works best for you.

- Already trade copier included, and lots of Volume profile and other advanced trading indicators.

Overall, MotiveWave delivers an incredible trading experience on Mac, Linux, and Windows, packed with features and highly adaptable to both new and seasoned traders. Highly recommended!

Excellent Trading Platform

MotiveWave is one of the best trading platforms out there. Yes, it is initially quite complex to set up, but that is simply due to the feature-richness of the platform. Once you have customized it to your liking it is amazing. Support and sales teams are also very helpful with quick response times.

I acquired this software product several years ago and had let my support lapse. Their sales team was extremely helpful in updating my information and updating my support.

Amazing Customer Service!

I contacted support through email and was connected to someone named Omar. He was INCREDIBLY helpful! Super patient and understanding. I'm not a very experienced trader, so there's a lot I'm still learning. I've asked for help in discord, reddit, tried searching for answers on the internet, nothing. Omar gave me the answers I was looking for. 100% would recommend Motivewave!

Motivewave is a great software with a lot of features.
There's a lot of tutorial videos on youtube to help with the learning curve and if they don't answer your questions, Brian is very helpful at the support department.
Keep up the good work guys !

MotiveWave is a comprehensive product

MotiveWave is a comprehensive product. With a great deal of trading tools. You can get lost sometimes if you are new to the product. Its nice to have a support staff that is willing and able to help you navigate your way around when you get stuck.

They did a really good job

They did a really good job. I mean, they earned my business. I considered going with other options, but MotiveWave's team just didn't push me to go with other competitors (if you know what I mean). My opinion is their effort is just enough higher than the competition to make you appreciate their level of support for you to stick around. They strive to be better and that makes you better. Iron sharpens iron.

I have been working for more than 10 years and because of my obsession I have tried many platforms in forex and futures and I am strongly confident that there is no platform like this or even close to Motive Wave. How smart team is behind it 👍

I am giving MW 5 stars because they have always (as in the past 5 years) been there for me, (steady off the Port Bow....). The platform is amazing and without equal in my humble opinion. Always stable and always there, ready to crunch whatever task you ask of it. Also, the yearly updates and upgrades are always well worth the upgrade fees because there is always so much new and relevant content.

My only request would be to add live telephone support. In the unlikely event that you need help, that help is normally 24 hours away. In today's instant, microwave, AI, world in which we live, 24 hours can seem like an eternity.

Best Volume Profile and Order Flow Software (Except for Occasional Freezes)

I was introduced to MotiveWave by a YouTube mentor who is a veteran trader. Based on his recommendation, I decided to give it a try.

Top Strengths:
1. Great Orderflow Tools: The pro edition offers every possible feature, including customizable Volume Profiles and Footprints. This level of customization allows traders to tailor the tools to their specific strategies and preferences.
2. Responsive Support Team: The support team is very responsive and easy to deal with. They provide quick and helpful solutions, which is crucial for maintaining trading efficiency.
3. Summer Offer: The summer offer is a great bargain for the features included. It provides excellent value for money, especially for those looking to explore advanced trading tools without a hefty upfront investment.
4. Educational Resources: There are plenty of educational videos and documents available for anyone starting out with the tool. These resources are comprehensive and cater to traders of all skill levels, ensuring a smoother learning curve.

Areas for Improvement:
1. Performance Issues: I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 because I have experienced instances where MotiveWave freezes when the volume imprint count is increased. This is particularly problematic when analyzing larger timeframes with every tick level. I found some workarounds with data setup criteria, but allocating more RAM did not help.
2. Volume-Related Studies: The performance on volume-related studies, such as loading volume imprints or AVWAPs, could be improved. It would be helpful to have a clear guide on optimal laptop specifications and data settings to avoid freezing "without compromising data analysis quality".
3. User Interface Enhancements: While the platform is powerful, there could be minor improvements to the user interface to make navigation and customization even more intuitive. Simplifying some of the more complex features could help new users get up to speed faster.

Overall, MotiveWave is a great product and I highly recommend it for Mac users and anyone looking to perform advanced analysis on volume profiles and order flow. Its robust feature set, coupled with responsive support and valuable educational resources, makes it a top choice for serious traders. However, addressing the performance issues and enhancing the user interface could take this platform to the next level.
