It’s easy to learn, and the more you use it the more you’ll find to love.

When you first open the platform, you will be offered a detailed walkthrough of the basic features of the Focus platform – you should take that offer! You can restart these walkthroughs at any time, via the top-right dropdown.

But there is very little that you do wrong at this early stage, so we recommend that you go around and click on all of the buttons. In the words of one of our clients, the “more you look the more you will discover the really cool features”.

We have also developed a large knowledge base, that you can search through the Focus platform itself. Just start typing in the keyword of your question, and if the answer does not currently exist please let us know so we can answer it for you, and then update it for the next person!

There’s even a practice account for you to place practice trades. Its not a perfect reflection of the stockmarket as yet (as the stockmarket is very convoluted!) but it’s good enough for you to practice before you trade for real.

Really take some time to look around before deciding on whether Marketech Focus is for you. It might not be for everyone - but don’t get caught in the trap of choosing your financial services based purely on their lowest cost. If there is a feature in our platform, we put it there to help you so you should take the time to understand it.
