Overview

Why Web-Based Trading in Short.

There is no need to install additional desktop software to trade with TM9, and once you have worked that way for a while it becomes hard to go back. The platform runs in virtually any modern web browser on any operating system: connect to the internet, log in to your trading account, and the charts, analysis tools, order ticket and account view are all there.

Three things follow from that. You stop maintaining software on several machines. You can reach your account from whichever computer is in front of you, whether that is a work laptop, a borrowed desktop or a machine in another country. And because data transmitted between the browser and the platform is securely encrypted, that convenience does not come at the cost of an unprotected session.

It is not a reduced experience either. The web platform is designed to provide functionality comparable to the TM9 desktop trading environment, with technical analysis, fundamental market information, copy trading and automated trading tools in one place.

Installed software still leads in two areas: very large multi-screen workspaces, and automated strategies that need to run continuously rather than for the life of a tab. For the complete picture of how browser, mobile and desktop fit together, see the TM9 home page.

Why Web-Based Trading.

The case for trading in a browser: no installation, access from anywhere and encrypted sessions.

Three practical gains

  • Nothing to install or maintain.
  • The same account from any machine.
  • Encrypted data between browser and platform.

Not a reduced version

The web platform is designed to provide functionality comparable to the TM9 desktop trading environment.

Where installed software still wins

Continuously running automated strategies and very large multi-screen workspaces suit the desktop terminal better.

In depth

The Detail Behind It.

Three short notes on how this works day to day.

In practice

The strongest argument is availability. A platform you can reach from any computer is a platform you can reach on the day your own machine fails, which is usually the day it matters.

Worth knowing

Browser trading depends on the connection in front of it, so a weak public network is better used for checking positions than for active trading.

Who it is for

This page is for traders weighing browser access against installed software, and for brokers explaining the choice to 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.
