All right.
This is an introduction to the Aranda website and I will give you a short overview of the content and
information that can be found on that website.
So it's so Entercom.
And depending on your location and your country, you might see a slightly different website.
And in particular, if you are located in the United States, then available products and also some
terms and conditions are slightly different.
So we will see that in a minute or two.
And now let's have a look here.
So we have different products and we are actually interested in the trading, but there are also products
and services for foreign exchange data services and also for payments.
So let's click on CFD trading.
And first of all, we can see here a very important risk disclaimer.
So CFDs, which stands for Contract for Differences, complex instruments and have a high risk.
So almost 75% of all retail investors lose money when trading here with a vendor.
So you should definitely know and understand what you are doing here.
And that's exactly the purpose of this.
And also the next videos.
And let's start with the products.
And first we have Forex and that's trading with foreign exchange or currencies.
And also I can trade with indices like the Dow Jones Industrial Average index or metals and other commodities
and also bonds.
And for all of these products we can get some more information.
So an overview and information on spreads and margins and we will go more into detail here further down
the road and hours of operations and more pricing charges.
So we will cover most of the things here later on.
And actually CFDs on stock indices and commodities are not permitted in the US and therefore US residents
have only access to forex trading, which is no problem because our focus in this course is clearly
on forex trading anyway.
But, uh, we can also go here to the US website.
So currently we are here in the rest of the world website.
And now if we go to the United States.
So if you are located in the United States, then you can see the following here.
So we only have your forex.
But again, this is no problem.
And now let's go back.
To my website.
Actually, the rest of the world, for instance, here, Germany.
Next.
We have different platforms and we will see this in 1 or 2 minutes in more detail.
And we have some more tools here.
And now probably the most important category is learn.
So getting started and if you haven't worked with vendor before and if you are completely new to day
trading, then you can get here a lot of information.
So let's click here on a new tool and.
And as I said, there are different platforms.
So we can either use the browser based trading platform or we can also use mobile apps.
And we also have the option to download a software and create our desktop platform, which provides
some more options and flexibilities.
But here in this course, we will create and use our own platform with the vendor API and Python.
But in the next videos we will also work here with the browser based platform for some example traits
to get familiar with day trading and actually the browser based platform is totally sufficient for that
purpose.
So we don't need to download here anything.
And once you are ready for live trading with real money, you can also create a live account and fund
your account here with credit card or PayPal.
Now here we can find some information on margin and leverage, and I will explain margin and leverage
in some more detail in one of the next lectures.
Then next year we can see trading hours and typically trading is available from Sunday, 5 p.m. to Friday,
5 p.m. New York time.
But this also depends on the instrument.
Then here you can see some help and support.
And also we can find some more information on the under APIs.
So we will heavily use the API to actually automate our trades with Python.
And there are also some learning videos here from Aranda.
And it's worth actually to have a look at them.
And actually it's highly recommended to start with a demo account and trade only with virtual money,
so not real money.
And in one of the next videos, I will show you how to create a demo account.
So please do not create a live account at this point in time here.
So it's too early, actually.
And finally here we can get some more information and the basics of trading and some tools and strategies
and also capital and risk management.
And actually, it's worth spending some more time here on the website and going through the content
here to get familiar with the basics of day trading.
However, I will explain most of the things here in the next videos in a very practical and hands on
way.
So I will execute a few example trades and explain the full mechanism and the terms like spread margin
bid and ask prices, PIP and more based on these example trades.
And I think that this is the best way to really understand how it works.
But of course, feel free to have a look here at the tools and strategies and more.
Next, you can find here a newsfeed, market pulse, and here you can find updated news on financial
markets and also some technical technical analysis.
So feel free to have a look also here at this.
And let's go down here.
And finally, we have here some legal documents with some more information depending on your location.
So in one of the later videos, we will also cover margin rules and margin rates.
And it's definitely worth to have a look here into the trading documentation and also at some key information
for the products.
So for CFD, Forex or CFD indices, let's have a look here.
So this is the key information document.
With many more information.
And also here you can find a risk indicator.
And we are actually in the highest risk category.
So there are many more things that you can discover here.
But the most essential and the most important things we will cover in the next lectures and videos.
All right.
Here's a little update as of May 2023.
So the vendor website is slightly changed in some regions, for example, here in Europe, and that's
here the new design and also the content slightly changed and was actually reduced.
So the European website is less informative now, but there is a little trick how you can still go to
the old website.
So this is here, the localized website for the EU in English.
And now you can change the region in the URL.
So for example from EU to UK or also Australia.
So you can either use the EU or Australia.
And then you can check here the Australian menu and go to trading Forex and CFD trading.
And this now looks pretty much like the old version.
So you can check your products, which can slightly differ in Australia of course, then the platforms,
then tools and maybe most important, the learning section.
So this is how you can get the old website.
So with the old design and the old content, so the more informative content actually.
Thanks for watching and see you in the next lecture by.
