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. We offer forex trading as a CFD.
Benefits of FX CFD trading
Forex is traded on margin, meaning you can gain a potentially higher market exposure by putting down just a fraction of the full value of your trade. You can trade forex CFDs using leverage. Higher exposure leads to bigger ups and bigger downs. With forex trading, you can speculate when one currency is rising as well as falling as compared to other currencies.
Pricing
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.
Execution
Forex prices can move quickly, especially during volatile market conditions. Our award-winning* trading platform is engineered for reliability and speed.
