Trading platforms are generally categorized into two broad types: proprietary (prop) trading platforms and commercial trading platforms. Large financial brokerage firms design prop trading platforms to meet their trading style and electronic brokerage needs. On the other hand, commercial trading platforms target retail investors and day traders and are typically user-friendly and packed with useful features, such as news feeds and interactive charts, to enhance investor research and analysis.
Commercial platforms come in different forms, helping to meet the different trading needs of diverse retail traders. Here are some of them:
WebTrader is an award-winning proprietary platform that requires no download. It is user-friendly and intuitive and is a firm favorite of many AvaTrade traders.
Arguably the most popular trading platform, MetaTrader 4 creates a powerful and flexible trading environment. It is suitable for beginners and advanced traders and offers automated trading through the use of Expert Advisors and a selection of order types.
MetaTrader 5 is the next generation of the MetaTrader platform, offering state-of-the-art trading capabilities, even more technical analysis tools, order types, timeframes and graphical objects. It also offers automated trading, with the all-new coding language.
