With people worldwide looking to put their extra money somewhere it will make more money (those who are fortunate enough to have some), the foreign exchange (Forex) market has seemed increasingly attractive. If you are new to this sort of trading, it is worth investing in some software that will help you along the way.
VT Trader 2 from online broker CMS Forex (cmsfx.com) might be a good choice.
The company says its software is “an online Forex trading software that lets you look at live quotes and charts of currency pairs for the sake of trading” but it is more than that. It has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface, good for beginner and experienced trader alike, with a wide range of resources for traders who rely on technical analysis as well as for those who are keen on the fundamentals.
The program is quick and simple to install and comes with a lot of support – there is an online user guide, video tutorials (beginner and advanced), a PDF manual and even an assigned CMS Forex Account Executive, in order to provide that little bit extra.
It is easy to trade directly from the chart you have chosen, or from a quotes board, with one click being all that is needed. Charts can be toggled between different time periods. Risk management – vital for all traders – is taken seriously, with many tools such as stop orders and limits to help you protect your capital. If you are a trader who likes to write your own trading strategies, this can also be accommodated by VT Trader 2.0.
Technical traders particularly will appreciate the pattern recognition tool, which scans for various chart patterns, saving the time and energy you spend poring over the charts looking for possible trade opportunities (and risks). Live account holders are able to see a rolling market commentary, together with the latest Dow Jones news. The CMS Forex web site also provides forums that give you the chance to chat with experts and other traders.
Although VT Trader 2.0’s default screen looks a little untidy at first glance, it is very easy to customise, giving you a clearer view. As CMS says: “[The program] was designed with multiple workspace-optimising tools allowing traders to arrange their platform layout according to their preferences. The docking, tabbing, and ‘auto hide’ functionalities maximize efficiency of space, allowing traders to master their trading environment.” The icon bar is arranged sensibly so it is easy to move around the program.
For traders who are always on the go, it is possible to load a portable version onto your flash memory drive when you are installing the main program. (CMS Forex also offers VT Mobile trader, made expressly for cellular devices such as BlackBerry and I-mode Doja devices.)
To begin Forex trading you just need to deposit US$200 into your account – then you can start buying up the British pound or the Japanese yen as fast as you wish. The software itself is free.
