More FX Facts

No Short Selling Restrictions

Forex trading always involves buying one currency and selling another, so traders can easily trade in a rising or falling market. There is no Zero Uptick rule or any other restriction against shorting a currency.

At $1.9 Trillion Per Day, Forex is the Largest, Most Liquid Market in the World

The sheer volume of Forex facilitates price stability, with less slippage. What's more, almost 90% of all currency transactions involve the 7 major currency pairs. As a result, these currencies exhibit smooth trends and enjoy the tightest dealing spreads and highest level of liquidity.

Trade on Your Schedule; Respond to Changes in the Market Immediately

Forex is a true 24-hour market, open continuously from 5:00pm ET on Sunday to 5:00 pm on Friday. With three distinct trading sessions in the US, Europe and Asia, you can trade on your own schedule and respond to breaking news immediately.

Keep 100% of Your Trading Profits

FOREX.com charges no commissions or transaction fees, while still offering free access to real-time quotes, news, charts, research, and more. Also, dealing spreads as low as 3 pips (.0003) are available in currency trading. Even at a penny ($.01), the bid/ask on a stock trade is 30x wider, in addition to the brokerage commission. The cost of trading is built into the bid/ask spread found in all financial products.

Control Up to 400:1 Leverage

With more buying power, you can increase your total return on investment with less cash outlay. For example, with $1,000 cash in a margin account that allows 400:1 leverage (1%), you can control up to $400,000 in notional value. Of course, trading on margin magnifies both your profits and your losses.
