The early 2000s saw an explosion of online brokers, each eager to offer retail FX trading services. 💥
They wooed individual traders with promises of trading platforms, educational resources, and access to leverage – because who doesn’t love controlling larger positions with a smaller investment?
The increased competition among brokers led to tighter spreads, lower trading costs, and an expansion of trading products beyond major currency pairs.
Today, retail FX traders have access to a wide range of trading platforms, including MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader, and various proprietary platforms developed by individual brokers.
They even offer mobile apps so you can trade on your smartphone!

There’s something for everyone, whether you’re a charting connoisseur, a technical indicator aficionado, or an automated trading enthusiast
