Why Trade Currencies?

Forex is the world’s largest market. With about 3.2 trillion US dollars in daily volume and 24-hour market action, we believe it is a true “step above” the equities market for the serious trader. Some key differences are:

* Many firms don’t charge commissions – you pay only the bid/ask spreads.
* There’s 24 hour trading – you dictate when to trade and how to trade.
* You can trade on leverage, but this can magnify potential gains and losses.
* You can focus on picking from a few currencies rather than from 5000 stocks.
* Forex is accessible – you don’t need a lot of money to get started.

Why Currency Trading Is Not For Everyone

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. Remember, you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment, which means that you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. If you have any doubts, it is advisable to seek advice from an independent financial advisor.
