Sector 3 Sector 3 provides up to the second news and stories from around the world which are relevant to the Forex market.
Section 4 Deals directly with the actual trades. It is further broken down into orders, trades, positions, charting, discussions and account center.
Now that you have a general idea of what the trading platform looks like, let us look at selected sections/tabs that will be of immediate interest to a first time trader.
The Portfolio tab (Sector 1).

This tab displays a summary of the current relevant data for all the currency pairs available to you. This tab is one of the primary areas where you can execute a trade (or “open a position”).
