With daily trading volumes now reaching billions of US Dollars, we are committed to improving our clients trading experience. Consequently, to handle the demands of increasing trade volume and to advance the quality of execution, we are happy to announce the introduction of two new account types - Micro and Classic.

  * MICRO ACCOUNTS
  Micro accounts are designed to accommodate traders who are new to the Forex market and service clients who are trading relatively small volumes. Demo Accounts will never be able to simulate the psychology behind risk and the fear of making a loss; this is where Micro accounts are effective because they help to introduce the Forex market to novice clients without exposing them to excessive risks because trade size is limited.
  Micro accounts allow users to trade only via MetaTrader4.

  * CLASSIC ACCOUNTS

  Classic accounts are designed to accommodate experienced retail traders as well as professional traders, as there is no maximum trade size, no maximum open position and a minimum trade size of 0.1 lots, while the trade size increment remains flexible at 0.01 lots.

* Place market orders with just one click

  * An excellent option for news-event traders

* Choose from "One-Click," "Double-Click," and "Click and Confirm" trading modes

There are three trading modes to choose from:

  * Click and Confirm
  * One-Click
  * Double-Click

The default trading mode for all accounts is "Click and Confirm."

You also can choose your order type ("At Best" or "Market Range") for the "One-Click" and "Double Click" modes in this window. Click here to learn more about "At Best" and "Market Range" order types.


Click and Confirm

This is the default trading mode. Every time you buy, sell, or close a position, you will receive a confirmation window with the parameters of the order. This allows you to easily check that you have keyed in your order correctly before making it.


One Click

To open a buy or sell position, simply click on the "Buy" or "Sell" price for the currency pair you want. You can set the number of lots you want to trade in the dealing rates box before clicking on the price.

Why Trade at FXCM
www.freshpips.com
An average of over $365 billion in notional volume is traded each month on trading platforms offered by FXCM. As a result, we have obtained close banking relationships with some of the world's largest and most aggressive price providers. Having multiple price providers is especially important in volatile markets, when one or two banks may post wide spreads, or simply avoid quoting any price at all. With so many major banks quoting prices to FXCM, there are competitive spreads, even during market-moving news events. .

FXCM does not take a market position—eliminating a major conflict of interest. A dealing desk broker, which acts as a market maker, may be trading against your position. However, with our No Dealing Desk execution, we fill your orders from the best prices available to us from the banks. While an individual bank may try to skew its prices off the market, the unattractive price on the bid or ask side will lose the price competition and as a result, not factor into the prices streamed to you. At FXCM, prices are not subject to manipulation by a broker or a banks dealing desk.
