For any trading concern, everything depends on the trading software and it is always beneficial to make an account with few brokers that you have shortlisted from the big list and try a hand on the processing to be more comfortable with it.

One important thing that you have to do is to examine and see the broker’s screen layout. Everything is given on the website itself; you just have to locate it. Have a look at it and you’ll find few things over things over there, such as:

• The area which shows the currency exchange rates and which is updated every second by them.
• Then, you can find the column that shows your account status, which includes you past transactions, your current balance, the profit or losses that you have made so far or the profit and losses expected in the future, the margins etc.
• There are mainly two kind of trading platforms, one is java based and the other one is client based. Java is Web based system and in Client based system, the client can install it on the system and can use it by having whatever version they prefer.
• To use the Client based system, you have to install it on all the systems that you use, else you’ll be able to trade online by that particular system only on which it is downloaded and installed.
• There is one complication and that is that some trading platforms are system specific, the option of run and install is the fastest but suppose that if there is a situation that you have a system where that trading platform cannot download because your system is not Microsoft windows. In this situation, you have just one option left and that is using java based trading platform.

 

This could be one reason that why java based system is preferred more. But, another reason could be that it is safer to use, if we talk about viruses and hackers. The best option is to open a demo account, give a trial and if you are satisfied, then you can proceed further.
