Flexible Trading System in Short.
Every operation in the Forex and exchange markets starts as an order, which is why the trading system inside a trading mobile app deserves more attention than the chart that sits on top of it. Trade Master 9 gives you Market Depth, separate accounting of orders and trades, support for both netting and hedging, four execution modes, and the complete set of order types: two market orders, six pending orders, two stop orders and trailing stop.
Listed like that it reads as a specification. In daily use it decides which strategies are possible at all. A breakout trader needs pending orders that sit patiently above and below a range. A grid trader needs several positions open in one instrument without the platform merging them. Someone scaling out of a winner needs the position to stay divisible rather than collapsing into one average line. Each of those depends on a trading system designed for it rather than a buy button and a sell button.
Separate accounting of orders and trades is the quiet feature here. When six pending orders, two filled positions and a trailing stop are live at once, the difference between an instruction you gave and a trade that actually happened is the difference between a readable account and a guessing game. The platform keeps the two apart in the interface and in the history.
Flexibility also means not having to change habits when you change markets. The same order ticket, the same stop placement and the same trailing behaviour apply whether the symbol is a currency pair, an index or a futures contract, and the execution mode is matched to the instrument rather than to your preference. The pages in this section take each part in turn, and the home page covers the wider app around them.
Where Orders and Trades Appear.
Where orders and trades show up in the TM9 2.0 app: real-time quotes, open positions, the portfolio hub, a EUR/USD chart with alerts and balance, equity and margin.
The Execution Model.
Four building blocks make up the system: Market Depth, separate order and trade records, four execution modes and the full set of order types.
What the system covers
- Market Depth on supported instruments.
- Separate accounting of orders and trades.
- Netting and hedging accounting systems.
- Four order execution modes.
All order types
The platform supports all types of trade orders: market orders, pending orders and stop orders, as well as trailing stop.
Why it matters
With this diversity of order types and execution modes, traders can use any trading strategy for successful work on the financial markets, rather than bending a strategy to fit the terminal.
Why Flexibility Is the Point.
Three notes on a system built to suit several kinds of trader at once.
Which strategies benefit most from a flexible trading system?
The practical benefit shows up in strategies that need more than a buy and a sell. Grid, hedge and breakout approaches all depend on pending orders behaving predictably, and separate accounting of orders and trades keeps the record readable when several are open at once.
Which platform features depend on your broker and account?
Which parts you use depends on your broker and the instrument: Market Depth is available where the venue supplies it, and the accounting system — netting or hedging — is set by the account type you open.
Which traders get the most from flexible order handling?
Traders with a defined strategy get the most from this page, particularly anyone moving from a simpler app that offered market orders and little else.
Where the System Sits.
The four parts of the execution model, and the pages that take each one.
Four parts, four pages
This page is the overview; each component has its own. Market Depth shows the resting orders, order types covers what you can place, execution modes covers how it is filled, and netting and hedging covers how the result is accounted for.
Good to know
TM9 is a software development company and does not provide investment or brokerage services for Flexible Trading System users.. The platform supplies the trading terminals, analysis tools and automation; your broker holds the funds, sets spreads and leverage, and executes the orders the platform sends. Trading carries a real risk of loss, and signals or robots are tools rather than financial advice.
