What are forex trading platforms and why do they matter?

Trading platforms are the software bridges between traders and the market. Popular options include MetaTrader 4/5, cTrader, and proprietary broker platforms. Institutions often use Bloomberg Terminal or custom-built systems for execution. Retail traders rely on platforms for charting, order execution, and automation. Benefits: accessibility, analytical tools, and connectivity. Risks: poor execution speed, downtime, or unregulated platforms leading to fraud. A reliable platform combines stability, low latency, and strong security. Ultimately, platforms are not just tools—they are environments that define how effectively traders engage with markets.
