Beginners

A Beginner
Start.

Learning a trading platform for the Forex and exchange markets is easier when nothing has to be installed.

Start on a demo account, learn the tools in a simulated environment, and move to live trading when the mechanics are automatic.

Overview

A Beginner Start in Short.

If you are new to trading, a web-based platform removes the first obstacle entirely: there is nothing to install, so the gap between deciding to look and actually looking is a login. TM9 combines technical analysis, fundamental market information, copy trading and automated trading tools in one browser window, which is a lot to meet at once — so meet it in order.

Start on a demo account. It allows you to practise using the platform without risking real money, explore the features and become familiar with the analysis tools in a simulated environment. Spend the first week on mechanics alone: placing an order, setting a stop, closing a position, reading the history afterwards. One instrument and one timeframe will teach you more than ten of each.

Then add a simple rule set and follow it without exceptions for a fortnight. The point is not profit; it is finding out whether you can follow rules when they are inconvenient.

A real account allows eligible users to trade live markets with real funds, subject to applicable terms, conditions and risks, and trading carries a real risk of loss. Start small. For the complete picture of the platform, see the TM9 home page.

A Beginner Start.

A first look at the TM9 Web Platform: what to learn first, and where to practise safely.

Week one

  • Open a demo account.
  • Learn to place, modify and close an order.
  • Read one chart properly rather than ten badly.

Week two

Add two indicators you understand, write down a simple rule set, and follow it on demo without exceptions.

Then live, small

A real account allows eligible users to trade with real funds, subject to terms, conditions and risk. Size small at first.

In depth

The Detail Behind It.

Three short notes on how this works day to day.

In practice

Beginners usually learn faster with fewer instruments. One market, one timeframe and one rule set for a month teaches more than sampling everything at once.

Worth knowing

Demo results do not carry over to live trading, and trading carries a real risk of loss. Nothing in the platform is financial advice.

Who it is for

This page is for people opening their first trading account, and for brokers writing beginner guidance for clients.

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.
