It’s a trading platform, similar to the ones the professionals use.

Trading the stockmarket is high risk, and markets move fast, continually reacting to investor sentiment and new information.

Most of the volume in the stockmarket is generated by professional investors who use serious data platforms to help them to gain the advantage in knowledge, insight and speed – in order to make more money, or better protect the money that they have.  

Professional platforms are high-cost, hard to learn and will typically require a purpose-built PC.

Whereas Marketech Focus is designed as a trading platform that is low cost, easy to learn and best of all, it’s on mobile as well as PC - so you can trade wherever you are!

Some of the key differences include:

·         Advanced charting and technical analysis tools: Professional trading platforms offer a wide range of advanced charting and technical analysis tools, such as multiple indicators, drawing tools, and customization options, that allow professional traders to analyze market trends and make more informed trades.

·         Direct market access: Professional trading platforms provide direct market access, which allows traders to place orders directly on exchanges. This can mean much faster execution times.

·         Cost: The most common professional trading platform in Australia costs around $1000 per month. Professional trading platforms tend to be significantly more expensive than retail platforms, with monthly or annual subscriptions and additional fees for data feeds, API usage, and other features. Most of the standard retail platforms just remove this function to stay cheap.

Marketech Focus – as close as you’ll get to a professional platform on your mobile phone, for less than a couple of dollars a day, connected to some of the lowest brokerage rates in Australia.
