Our pricing is clear and transparent. Our pricing engine aggregates live prices, in real time, from our liquidity providers and calculates a mid-point. A custom-built pricing algorithm automatically calculates the spread symmetrically around the mid-point for each tradable instrument. This mid-point fluctuates throughout the day as market prices change.

Forex trading is the buying or selling of one country’s currency in exchange for another.
You can trade forex CFDs using leverage, meaning you can gain a potentially higher market exposure by putting down just a fraction of the full value of your trade. Higher exposure leads to bigger ups and bigger downs. With forex CFD trading, you can speculate when one currency is rising as well as falling as compared to other currencies.
