What is a trading / investment platform?

The platforms for investing (either in Forex or CFDs, indices, etc.) provide their services to individuals all over the world. Explained in simple words: the platforms allow traders to participate in the financial markets at any time, and allow them to be aware of the most recent updates in the market.

It allows both brokers and investors to operate without problems. Usually the platforms can be web, that is, one can access from the internet, or they can also be downloadable platforms, where it is necessary to download and install the platform before using it.

How do I know if my platform is good?

Here are some data to identify a good platform:

- The platform should be able to let you in and out of the market, without lag, lag or delay.

- As a trader it is necessary that you can operate through the platform in a simple way, although this may be a matter of training and getting used to the platform

- Whether you use the platform at home or on a laptop away from home, it is necessary that the platform allows you to do it from wherever you want and at any time

- A good platform should offer different functions and "addons" (like the option to add indicators, charts, and more)

- A good investment platform will allow you to have access to the platform every day, at any time

- A platform must allow you to carry out multiple transactions, even when it has a lot of web traffic, it is no excuse

- For newbies, the platform should have an interface that is user-friendly, easy to understand

- This point also goes for newbies: The platform must allow entering the market with small amounts of money

    OniroFX SCAM !! SCAMMERS !! Be very careful, they call you and offer you very good returns. Once you make the income, they do not return the money. Notify your bank that it is a scam and that they make a chargeback request, write to the platform requesting a refund of your deposit and file a complaint with the National Police, Civil Guard

      Hi Pedro, a broker like this will always keep your money. Thanks for sharing your experience with Umarkets, this broker is a SCAM. Attention: in June 2020 CNMV added Umarkets to its list of fraudulent financial companies, for acting without authorization and many clients have commented that they have not managed to withdraw their capital. (see CNMV link)
      If you have more information about the company, we ask you to share it with us, especially if it is information that you think can help other people investing with this company.

      Do you have names of advisers, numbers, emails from which they have contacted you? Do you remember how you found this broker in the first place?
