Overview

Getting Started on the Web in Short.

Starting with the TM9 Web Platform takes less setup than almost anything else in trading. Connect to the internet, log in to your trading account, and a wide range of trading and analytical features opens in your browser — charts, technical indicators, fundamental market information, the order ticket, your positions and your history.

Spend the first session setting up rather than trading. Build a short watchlist of instruments you genuinely intend to follow, open a chart and add the two or three studies you actually understand, and take a proper look at the account view so you know where positions, orders and history live. Ten unhurried minutes here saves a lot of fumbling later, when a market is moving and you want to act rather than explore.

Decide your risk before your first order, not during it. How much of the account are you willing to lose on a single trade, and where does the stop go? Those two answers turn a chart observation into a plan, and they are far easier to settle calmly than in the middle of a move.

Bookmark the login page while you are at it, since the fastest route back into the platform is the one you do not have to search for. If you are new, start on a demo account, where you can practise the platform and test strategies in a simulated environment without risking real money. When the mechanics are automatic and the rules are written down, a real account lets eligible users trade live markets with real funds, subject to the applicable terms and risks.

Nothing needs installing at any point, though a stable connection matters. For the complete picture of the platform across browser, mobile and desktop, see the TM9 home page.

Web Platform

The First Session.

Connect to the internet, log in to your trading account, and start using the platform in the browser.

The first session

  1. Open a modern browser.
  2. Log in to your trading account.
  3. Open a chart and add your tools.
  4. Review your account status.

Practise first

A demo account lets you explore features and test strategies in a simulated environment before real funds are involved.

Then go live

A real account allows eligible users to trade live markets with real funds, subject to the applicable terms and risks.

On day one

What to Do in the First Hour.

Three notes on an hour that saves several later.

In practice

Spend the first session setting up rather than trading: a short watchlist, a chart you like reading, and a clear idea of the risk you will take per trade.

Worth knowing

Nothing needs installing, but a stable connection matters. Treat a weak public network as fine for checking and less suitable for active trading.

Who it is for

This page is for first-time users of the web platform, and for brokers writing onboarding notes for clients.

Context

Where to Begin Reading.

The entry point for this section; the pages above go deeper on each step.

Set the workspace before the first trade

The first hour is better spent on a watchlist, a chart layout and a saved template than on a position. That work is done once and carried by the account, whereas a trade placed before the workspace exists tends to be a trade you cannot manage properly when it moves.

Good to know

TM9 is a software development company and does not provide investment or brokerage services. 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.
