• Maximum Value & Reliability

Improve you trading potential with transparent, reliable pricing and superior trade executions. We’re proud to say that we’re the only firm that proves it to you, with our Execution Scorecard.

Competitive spreads

Our pricing is ultra-competitive, reliable and fully transparent. We’ve spent over a decade investing in technology and building a deep liquidity network of bank trading partners, so that we can consistently quote tight spreads.

Opportunity for price improvement

When the market moves in your favour, our trading technology automatically passes along the savings by executing your trade at a better price. And we’re successful at it, in 2013 over 65%of limit orders received price improvement.

Superior execution quality

Quality of trade execution can impact trading returns as much as tight spreads. At FOREX.com, we’ve automated every aspect of the trade process, with the goal of ensuring your trades are executed lightning fast, without any manual intervention, and at the price you expect – or a better one.

"We consistently execute 99.8% of all trades in less than 1 second, with an average execution speed of just 70 milliseconds."

Market maker advantage

We are proud to serve our customers as a market maker. We firmly believe this model allows us to deliver the best combination of low trading costs, quality trade executions and great customer service.

Despite what some of our competitors may claim, being a market maker doesn’t mean that we pick and choose which trades to accept, or that our trading desk can adjust the price or the execution speed of your trade. We operate in a highly regulated environment, with strong oversight into trading practices and execution. We quote a price that you can trade, and we execute your trades quickly and accurately, providing a level of price certainty that few brokers can compete with.
