Linking an Account and Your First Trade.

Three notes on linking an account and sizing that first trade.

Icon for How should you place your first live order - Connect & Start Trading page

How should you place your first live order?

Before the first live order, it is worth placing the smallest trade you can, purely to watch the full path: order sent, position open, stop set, position closed. Once that loop is familiar, the size of the trade is the only variable left.

Icon for When should you set your risk on TM9 - Connect & Start Trading page

When should you set your risk on TM9?

Set your risk before you look for a setup. Position size, a stop level and the maximum you are willing to lose on a single trade are easier to decide calmly than in the middle of a move, and TM9 keeps those settings with your account across devices.

Who is the connect and start trading step for?

The final step is for anyone who has installed the app and funded a broker account and now wants the first trade to be uneventful. Experienced traders moving from another platform use the same path to get their setup across.

Where This Fits.

How getting started sits inside the wider TM9 platform. For the app itself and both store links, start from the TM9 home page.

Icon for The three steps - Connect & Start Trading page

The three steps

Getting started runs in three steps: download and install, select a good broker and fund the account on the broker side, then connect that account in TM9 and place your first trade. There are no paperwork queues and no email ping-pong in between. Your money stays with the broker throughout — TM9 never holds or touches it.

Icon for What you need before you trade - Connect & Start Trading page

What you need before you trade

Three things: a device, a regulated broker account, and funds deposited on the broker side. TM9 supplies the software layer, including charts with over a hundred studies, alerts, copy trading and multi-device sync. The broker supplies the market access, the spreads and the funding. Getting from download to a first position is a short path, but the broker choice in the middle is the one worth taking time over.

Icon for Good to know - Connect & Start Trading page

Good to know

TM9 never holds, receives or has access to client money, so every deposit and withdrawal happens on your broker side. Pick a regulated broker and verify their licence before funding anything. Trading carries a real risk of loss, and nothing in the app is financial advice. Support runs through WhatsApp or email if you get stuck on any step.
