I think you did. You rushed to the socket to charge your gadget and control the situation on your account, closing the positions if necessary. Well, a good thing if you have time to charge the accumulator, but what if there is some error on the platform itself? You can use a web terminal that will allow you to watch the market and trade in any browser.
The popularity of web terminals, on the whole, is explained by the fact that lots of traders use mobile gadgets, including pads. For trading via such a terminal, a good and stable internet connection is enough. You do not need any additional software, as well as a PC.
However, a web terminal is to be chosen accurately: its interface should be familiar to the trader, the instruments should be the same as on the desktop platform, the web platform should be supported by all browsers, otherwise the terminal becomes useless.
Today, we will speak about the R WebTrader terminal that meets all the requirements and have useful additional functions.
Mobile trading with R WebTrader
Everyone knows that a trader does not always have an opportunity to sit at the PC or a laptop to watch, analyze, or trade on Forex. Sometimes, also, the trader needs to stay away from the desktop terminal and thus does not have an opportunity to watch the market stably. Then a smartphone will be a good help, almost replacing the PC. Nowadays, you can easily trade on Forex via a smartphone.
Working on R WebTrader, traders can not only trade but also analyze the market via one mobile gadget. This becomes possible thanks to the mobile version of R WebTrader that is used automatically if you access the terminal from a mobile browser.
Authorization in R WebTrader
If you have an MT4 account on RoboForex and you have decided to use a web terminal, you should go to the page of the terminal and fill out the authorization form. The login and password are the same as in your Personal Members Area of RoboForex. Then in the open window of the terminal, the trader needs to choose a trading account that was open on MetaTrader 4. This is obligatory, as on such accounts only trading can be carried out. In our case, it is irrelevant whether the account is real, demo, or meant for a contest.
