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 then from 5000 stocks.
* Forex is accessible – you don’t need a lot of money to get started.
