Trading platforms of the broker
NAGA is primarily known for its social trading platform that allows you to follow and copy other traders on the platform. Once you select a trader based on his performance, you can adjust the auto-copy ratio or set the specific investment amount any time in the Auto Copy section.
If you want to be notified about a price movement, you can set a price alert that will inform you in your web trader or in your email inbox.
In case you prefer to trade on your own, NAGA provides access to the world’s most popular forex trading platform MT4 and to its modern successor MT5. Both platforms support hedging and if you want to lead other traders (for good benefits) you can still do so here (NAGA users can still copy your trading activity)
NAGA allows to South African traders to trade with up to 1:1000 leverage.
