Any strategy that you plan for your investments will be worthless if you don’t have a proper trading platform to work with. A trading platform is a program where you will directly make your trades. You should be able to get one of these platforms through a broker or a banking institution.
The trading platform is a necessity for every day-trader. It is a natural evolution of the trading process. It used to be that people would have to have trades completed in person between individual brokers or other parties. Electronic platforms have been used since at least the 1970s. The earliest digital platforms would let people find updated information on stock prices while allowing them to send signals stating that they want to make trades. The high-speed online world has evolved so that platforms can handle trades immediately. People have access to real-time prices. All you need is an online connection.
