Trading platforms play an important role in CFD trading, allowing traders to carry out asset buying or selling transactions easily in milliseconds.

In the financial markets, various trading platforms are designed by developers to meet user needs.

The following are several trading platforms that have their respective advantages and disadvantages, quoted from the FXOpen blog

• MetaTrader 4 (MT4): This is the most popular trading platform in the world, loved for its ease of use.
• MetaTrader 5 (MT5): An improved version of MT4, with advanced features while maintaining the accessible MT4 interface.
• TickTrader: A highly customizable platform offering 1,200+ trading tools, advanced order types, and Level 2 pricing.
• TradingView: A comprehensive platform offering advanced technical analysis tools, screeners, and fundamental data from global exchanges.

Even though the main facility of all trading platforms is for traders to carry out transactions in the financial markets, the features and user experience differ, so traders tend to choose a trading platform according to their needs.

My favorite trading platform is the mt5 it has advanced features that helps you to make trading very simple and easy for you, all you have to do is launch the app and open a demo account to test it out, then also open a trade and see the amazing tools you can manage the trade with.

You can also see the amount you'll lose in a trade and also your potential gain, entering a trade is just a click of a button, it is very easy to use and can also alternate between dark and light mode, it's just the overall best.

A trading platform is a software where trading takes place, there are different platform for trading, but for forex traders we mostly use the Metatrader 4 or Metatrader 5 to trade, some brokers provides their own custom platforms like ICMarkets provides CTrader which quiet more elegant than the Metatrader.

All in all i think for a beginner the Metatrader is easier to use because it has the charts and all indicator tools you need to trade, the interface is simple and you can learn how to use in a day by watching one or more videos on YouTube about it.
