Why Trade Forex?

The Forex Market is the largest financial market in the world. It is open 24 hours a day and traded by the largest banks in the world. It is thereby a very liquid market so funds are cleared quickly.

Using Leverage

No other Financial Market gives you leverage as does the forex market. A 100:1 leverage means that for every $1,000 you deposit, you can trade with $100,000. This gives you the ability to gain substantially by good trades. Due to its large profit ratio, one can also take the same loss and loose their money.. (Using leverage of any amount is high risk & you can loose all your funds)
