What is FX trading?
Forex trading is the buying or selling of one country’s currency in exchange for another. Forex is one of the most liquid markets in the world, with a trading volume of $6 trillion per day. The US dollar is the most widely traded currency in the world.
Benefits of FX trading
Forex is traded on margin, meaning you can gain a potentially higher market exposure by putting down just a small percentage of the full value of your trade. With forex trading, you can speculate when forex prices are rising as well as falling as compared to other currencies.
Pricing tiers and liquidity providers
We offer two pricing models: spread-only and core pricing plus commission. Our pricing models are clear and transparent. Find out about our two pricing options and see which one you qualify for. The 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 on our trading platform. This mid-point fluctuates throughout the day as wholesale prices change.
