An online trading platform is software used for trading on the financial markets: opening, closing and managing positions. Online trading platforms are often offered by brokers free of charge, whether for demo accounts or real trading accounts.
The best trading platforms offer a mix of robust functionality, ease of use and low fees. As well as placing orders, trading platforms also allow you to view real-time quotes, live charts, news feeds and other research content. Platforms can also be specifically tailored to particular markets, such as equities, forex or crypto-currencies.
Today's brokers are quite diversified. In addition to order execution, players offer other investment strategies and financial advisory services. A large part of their turnover comes from executing customer buy and sell orders. Commission and fee income is generated by principal transactions. Added to this is interest income from investments and dividends, as well as investment banking income from underwriting and advisory services.
The rapid development of high-frequency trading and the digitization of foreign exchange markets have led to increased competition and democratization of access to the stock market. In France, the main online trading platforms are eToro, XTP and Capital.com. The eToro platform alone symbolizes the growth of these sites: it now boasts over 350,000 users in France.
