Social trading network Trade has announced the launch of SocialTrader. The product combines the network’s ‘Cloud Trader’ web Trading Platform Trading Platform In the FX space, a currency trading platform is a software provided by brokers to their respective client base, garnering access as traders in the broader market. Most commonly, this reflects an online interface or mobile app, complete with tools for order processing.Every broker needs one or more trading platforms to accommodate the needs of different clients. Being the backbone of the company’s offering, a trading platform provides clients with quotes, a selection of instruments to trade, real-time updates on quotes, charts and is the main frontend which customers are facing.Brokers either use existing trading platforms and sometimes customize them, or develop their own platform from scratch. Since the beginning of the retail FX trading business MetaQuotes and its platforms MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) have been the industry standard, especially when it comes to automated trading.MT4 Shows Resiliency While MT4 has long been seen as ubiquitous amongst brokers’ offerings, a targeted push by MetaQuotes themselves has led to broader adoption of MT5 in recent years. Advanced trading platforms such as MT4 or MT5 also allow access to a wide range of asset classes available for trading.The development of trading platforms over the past decade has failed to successfully dethrone MT4 or MT5, notably in the retail market. However, in institutional markets, brokerage companies and banking entities also construct and utilize proprietary currency trading platforms to help satisfy internal needs with trades executed through institutional trading channels.By far the most important parameter for many retail clients is the optionality and pairs available on trading platforms.

The goal of the new product is to allow users the ability to have access to the network’s social sentiment information directly from Tradeo’s order entry interface. Moving away from just providing social trading access to MT4 brokers, the company also announced connectivity to the ACT platform.
Within the Social Trading industry we have seen the launch of cross broker products become more developed during 2012 as they compete with the massive user network of eToro. Overall, a social trading platform’s success is limited to the breadth of its users. Also, while a trader searching for social trading is most likely to go to a pure play like eToro, it will be interesting to see ahead how individual brokers begin to market their cross broker social offerings. Currently, most brokers simply market the product alongside their existing offerings. Meaning that a user needs to be first interested in searching for a broker while then deciding to use the social trading platform. Therefore, to fully compete with eToro, a broker may need to devote a dedicated marketing campaign and separate web pages just to its social trading product.

Our business model, at its most fundamental level, is based entirely on their success.” www.tradeo.com
