PROMPTNESS AND AVAILABILITY: As Forex market operates for 24 hours, the access is possible at any time in contrast to stock market, which is open only during trading hours, which surely may not be convenient for your time zone. Forex traders do not need to wait to react on an unexpected event as it happens in other markets. 24 hours operation lets traders trade whenever they like: after work, at nights, during their leisure time, etc. For trading one needs just to have a laptop or a mobile and Internet connection. Take into consideration that at the weekends Forex market is closed, thus hurry up to manage your trading until Friday night.
COSTS: The client sells the traded currency with the Bid price and buys with the Ask price. The difference between them is called Spread. Surely, this spread is different depending on the currency pair and the clients prefer low spread, because, in fact, it affects the results of trading. The spread is greater for those currencies that are traded less frequently, thus the spreads of major currencies is quite low. IFC Markets offers low and fixed spreads to its clients.
LEVERAGE: All traders have an opportunity to trade with greater volume due to the leverage which is provided by the broker. More precisely saying, it is the availability to make profit from a large position in the market for a small cost, known as margin. Different companies provide different leverage sizes. For instance, IFC Markets suggests up to 1:400 leverage. There are some leverage limitations depending on the account types and the volume of the deals.
