Good day!
I am a student at Acadia University studying entrepreneurship and trying to introduce my class to foreign exchange. I am tasked with creating a forum that attracts new traders to a new revenue stream. What would be the main things you would want out of a trading platform?
Hmmm. 
I was also super intimidated by the charts and numbers when I started trading. So, a user-friendly interface with intuitive tools and not super overflowing with information is a good start, I think? 
These are two very different matters. You perhaps know that a “trading platform” is something specific, and not at all the same kind of thing as a forum?
If not, this will help you -
