Overview

Platform Glossary in Short.

Trading vocabulary causes more confusion than trading itself, particularly when two people use the same word for different things. This page collects the terms that recur across the TM9 web platform pages and defines them plainly, so the rest of the section reads more easily.

Some are about analysis: technical analysis means studying price and indicators, fundamental analysis means studying market information and economic data, and a timeframe is simply the period each candle on a chart represents. Some are about trading: copy trading is following and replicating another trader's strategy, a trading robot is an application that executes predefined instructions, and a pending order is an instruction waiting for a price level rather than acting now.

And some are about accounts. A demo account is practice in a simulated environment without real funds, so it produces no real profits or losses. A real account allows eligible users to trade live markets with real money, subject to the applicable terms, market conditions and risks.

Definitions here are general; exactly how each applies depends on your account type and your broker. For the complete picture of the platform, see the TM9 home page.

The Detail Behind It.

Three short notes on how this works day to day.

In practice

Terminology is worth settling early, because most confusion between traders turns out to be two people using the same word for different things.

Worth knowing

Definitions here are general. Exactly how a term applies to you depends on your account type, your broker and the conditions attached to both.

Who it is for

This page is for newer traders, and for anyone reading the rest of this section who wants the vocabulary in one place.

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.
