Trading Platforms

Experienced investors through to new traders who are keen to learn, all have distinct qualities which feed through into their style of trading.

But what all these traders have in common is the need for flexibility.

Some of us want to trade whilst commuting to work, on a train or on a bus, while some of us prefer the solitude of our office, secure on our desktop searching financial markets for new trade opportunities.

State-of-the-art technology now allows us all to trade where we want and how we want. Trading platforms for the retail trader are now so advanced we have access to thousands of markets, 24 hours a day on one single platform, on the go.

What are trading platforms?

Trading platforms allow both beginners and more seasoned traders to use the latest technology and functionalities to create a totally immersive trading experience.

Backed by online software, the platform acts as a user interface, enabling traders to manage positions and perform analysis through interactive, real-time charts, using a multitude of indicators.

Today’s trading platforms also let traders design their own trading signals through the many automated trading systems on offer, using the programming language available.
