For the beginner and person just getting started in the world of trading, this is a critical question and usually one of the first considerations. I recently had someone ask me about this topic but in more of a unique way. In doing so, they opened up the door for a different approach on the topic that should make things crystal clear. The vast majority of beginners go through the platform and broker process the wrong way. I don\u2019t blame them. When you\u2019re new and don\u2019t know what you don\u2019t know, part of that is not understanding the proper approach. Let me walk you through how to ask this question regarding platform and broker in the most complete way possible.
