Moving to a real trading platform
If you started on a simplified app and want proper charting, MetaTrader, tighter spreads and local withdrawals — this is what to compare before you move your money.

Try before you move anything
Open a free demo, trade it for a week alongside your current account, and compare fills and spreads on the same instruments at the same times. That comparison is worth more than any review.
A simplified app and a market account are not the same product
The apps most people start on are built around a fixed-payout bet: you pick a direction and a time, and you either receive a set percentage or you lose the stake. It is simple on purpose, and the simplicity is the problem — the payout is fixed, so the maths only works out for the house.
A real market account works differently. You are in an actual position with a price that moves; you decide where to exit, you can take part of a position off, move a stop to break even, or hold a winner longer than you planned. Your result is not capped by a payout percentage.
That extra control is also extra responsibility, which is why the first month is best spent on a demo running beside whatever you use now.
| Fixed-payout app | Market account | |
|---|---|---|
| Outcome | Set percentage or nothing | Whatever the move gives you |
| Exit | Fixed expiry | You choose |
| Partial close | No | Yes |
| Charting | Basic, in-app | MT4 / MT5 |
| Robots / EAs | No | Yes |
How to move without disrupting what you already do
You do not have to switch in one step, and you should not. There is no way to transfer a balance directly between brokers — you withdraw from one and deposit to the other — so treat the move as an overlap rather than a jump.
Run a demo here for a week or two on the same instruments you already trade, at the same times of day. Compare the spread you actually get and how your orders fill. That comparison, on your own instruments, is worth more than every review page you will find on this subject.
Then move a fraction of your balance, not all of it, and make one small withdrawal early — before you have built up a position you would hate to interrupt. A broker that pays a $60 withdrawal cleanly will pay a $6,000 one.
Make one small withdrawal early — before you have built a balance you would hate to have stuck.
Common questions
Why move to MetaTrader?
Real charting, indicators, expert advisors, every order type, and a platform your strategy can move with you to any broker.
Can I transfer my balance directly?
No broker can move funds between another broker and itself. Withdraw from the old account, then deposit here.
What does it cost to open a TNFX account?
Nothing to open, $100 minimum to fund, or a free demo with no deposit at all.
Is TNFX licensed?
Yes — FSA Seychelles, licence SD133.
Can I transfer my balance from another broker directly?
No. You withdraw from the old account and deposit into the new one. Plan a short overlap rather than a single switch.
Is MetaTrader harder to learn than a simplified app?
The first hour is busier, because you are choosing your own exit rather than a fixed expiry. After that it is the same decisions with more control over them.
What should I check before moving money?
The licence number on the regulator's own site, whether the deposit route you plan to use can also pay out, and one small withdrawal completed end to end.
