ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Electronic trading platform

An electronic trading platform is like a special room where people who want to buy and sell things can go and do it very easily by using special computers called "terminals." It's like a big room with lots of computers where grown-ups can buy and sell things like stocks, bonds, or currencies, with just a few clicks of their mouse. It's like when you play a video game, but instead of fighting dragons or building castles, grownups play a game where they make deals with other people to buy or sell things. And just like in a video game, the electronic trading platform has special rules and controls to make sure that everyone plays fairly and that nobody cheats. So it's kind of like a grown-up's video game for making deals!
