A few questions come up repeatedly about running Forex and exchange market operations in a browser.
Browsers, accounts, security and automation — the questions traders ask first, answered briefly.
A handful of questions come up before anyone commits time to a new trading platform, so here are the short answers for the TM9 Web Platform. Do you need to install anything? No — connect to the internet, log in to your trading account, and the trading and analytical features open in the browser.
Which browsers and systems work? Virtually any modern web browser and operating system, which is the point of a browser-based platform. Is it a reduced version of the desktop? No — it is designed to provide functionality comparable to the TM9 desktop trading environment, with charts, market analysis, trading tools and account management.
Can you practise first? Yes. A demo account allows practice in a simulated environment, with access to many of the same features as a real account, though demo trading involves no real funds and therefore produces no real profits or losses. Is the session secure? Data transmitted between the browser and the platform is securely encrypted.
The one honest limitation: continuously running automated strategies suit the desktop terminal better, since a browser session ends with the tab. For everything else, see the TM9 home page.

Short answers to common questions about browsers, accounts, security and automation in the TM9 Web Platform.
No. Connect to the internet, log in to your trading account and work from the browser.
Virtually any modern web browser and operating system.
Yes. It allows practice in a simulated environment, without real funds and therefore without real profits or losses.
Three short notes on how this works day to day.
The question behind most of these is the same one: can the browser really replace installed software? For analysis and manual trading, yes; for continuously running automation, the desktop terminal is the better host.
Availability of specific features depends on your account type and conditions, and funding questions are handled by your broker rather than the platform.

How web platform sits inside the Trade Master 9 platform.
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.
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.
