 [[Image:Market_sphere.png|frame|An example of the game-like graphics used in the trading platform ]]gnutrade's platform differs from conventional trading software in that it uses distinctive spherical graphics to represent financial markets, and gives users a game-like experience. The market spheres move up and down in line with their price movements, and this feature means users can quickly assess market performance without sifting through detailed numerical data. Various other visual representations are used on the trading screen to convey market information at a glance, and details can be viewed by zooming in on the individual market spheres.

+gnuTrade NV was founded by experienced financial traders who realised that market trading could be easier, more enjoyable and more accessible to the general public if muddled data screens and complex trading methods were simplified.

-=== Financial trading and financial gaming ===
+=== Financial trading vs financial gaming ===
 gnuTrade NV as a company has the charcteristics of both a trading company and a gaming company. It operates under a strict Netherlands Antilles government licence, which enables it to offer customers financial betting without the costs associated with traditional city institutions. Profits are treated as gaming winnings in many countries and so they may be exempt from capital gains tax. Also, gnuTrade does not charge commissions, transaction fees or trading taxes unlike brokers and city trading firms. This means additional cost-saving benefits to trading customers.
