Trading Terminals

Basically, there are only two trading terminals/platforms employed by Forex Brokers;

1. A downloadable trading platform (usually a metatrader4)

2. An online Login-and-Trade platform that requires no download of any software.

Now, before you choose a broker, you have to identify the type of platform the broker offers and try to match them with your needs, for maximum efficiency.

If you own a laptop that you can use conveniently anywhere at anytime, then your best option is to choose a broker that offers a downloadable platform, as it enhances your privacy.
On the other hand,a student or a very mobile business man should more considerably sign up with a broker who offers the simple Login-and-trade platform. You can simply just walk into a cyber-café and login to your account and carry out your transactions without stress. But this platform may not be a good idea for people who are a bit careless.

Most times, it is more advisable to use a forex broker that uses the 'online login-and-trade platform', so that you can easily access your account from anywhere at anytime.

IMPORTANT!
For the metatrader4(downloaded software forex trading), each computer you want to use to access your account, you must install the software in the computer so just grab a flash drive from the market, for your own good!
