A trading platform for the Forex and exchange markets should not care which computer you sit down at.

Virtually any modern web browser and operating system can run the TM9 Web Platform.

Overview

Browsers and Systems in Short.

A trading platform should not care what is under the keyboard, and the TM9 Web Platform mostly does not. It runs in virtually any modern web browser on any common operating system, because the work happens in the browser rather than in software installed on the machine. Windows at the office, a Mac at home, Linux on an old laptop pressed back into service — all of them reach the same account.

That breadth is the reason web access is the most reliable fallback in a trader's toolkit. When a phone is out of battery and the usual laptop is at home, whatever machine is available will almost certainly run the platform, and the requirements list is short: a modern browser, a working internet connection and your login.

Screen size is the other variable people forget: the platform will happily run on a small laptop, but reading several charts at once is far easier on a larger display, and that choice affects your working day more than the operating system does. The one thing worth keeping current is the browser itself. Modern web applications rely on features that older browser versions simply do not have, so most of the odd rendering or sluggishness people blame on a platform disappears after an update. If something looks wrong, that is the first thing to try.

Where installing software is possible, the desktop terminal and the mobile apps add options the browser cannot match — large multi-chart workspaces, and automated strategies that need to run continuously rather than for the life of a tab. Most traders run a combination, with the browser covering the machines they cannot or would rather not install on.

Browsers and Systems.

The TM9 Web Platform runs in virtually any modern browser, on any operating system.

What you need

  • A modern web browser.
  • Any common operating system.
  • An internet connection.
  • Your trading account login.

Why it is broad

Because the platform runs through the browser rather than as installed software, the operating system underneath matters far less than it would otherwise.

When installing is possible

Where you can install software, the desktop terminal and the mobile apps add options such as continuously running automated strategies.

In depth

The Detail Behind It.

Three short notes on how this works day to day.

In practice

In practice the browser version people have is more important than the operating system. Keeping the browser current avoids most of the odd rendering and performance issues that get blamed on the platform.

Worth knowing

Very old browsers may not support everything a modern web application expects. If something looks wrong, updating the browser is the first thing to try.

Context

Where This Fits.

How web platform sits inside the Trade Master 9 platform.

The web platform in short

TM9 is a web-based trading platform for Forex, stocks and futures, combining technical analysis, fundamental market information, copy trading and automated trading in one browser window. It runs on virtually any modern browser and operating system with no desktop software to install, is designed to offer functionality comparable to the desktop environment, encrypts data between the browser and the platform, and supports both demo and real accounts.

Good to know

TM9 is a software development company and does not provide investment or brokerage services. The platform supplies the trading terminals, analysis tools and automation; your broker holds the funds, sets spreads and leverage, and executes the orders the platform sends. Trading carries a real risk of loss, and signals or robots are tools rather than financial advice.
