TRADING PLATFORMS & VENUES (The "How & Where")** - indigostrader - 23.11.2025
### **Category 2: TRADING PLATFORMS & VENUES (The "How & Where")**
Forget the romanticized idea of a lone wolf trader with a ticker tape. The modern trading battlefield is digital, and your platform is your command center. It's the single most critical piece of technology between you and the markets. The right one can feel like an extension of your mind. The wrong one can cost you money, speed, and sanity.
This category is dedicated to the **tools of the trade**: the software, the brokers, the exchanges, and the tech that powers our every move.
