Is Your Trading Platform Secure? A Cybersecurity Guide for Traders

I trade on the side and run automated strategies on MetaTrader 5, so trading platform security is something I take personally. This is not theoretical for me – I have configured VPS servers, locked down API keys, and helped other traders recover from compromised accounts. Unlike a hacked Instagram account (annoying, but fixable), a compromised brokerage or crypto wallet means immediate, irreversible financial loss. I have watched a trader lose over $47,000 in a single night because he reused a password from a breached database.
