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.
