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 trading
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 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.
Costs of trading
Fairness and transparency are at the heart of everything we do. We are upfront about our charges and fees, so you always know exactly how much you are paying when you trade with us. Learn about our costs for depositing and withdrawing funds, bank wire transfer, spreads, inactivity fees and more.
