Fractional pips for more precise quoting.

With our fractional pip pricing, you gain an extra digit of precision so that you can take advantage of smaller price movements. Plus, you can also enter orders at any price - even inside the spread - and trade around news events, major economic announcements and other times of high market volatility.

Fractional pricing is market driven. Using our proprietary rate engine, we aggregate prices from some of the world's leading FX banks, in real-time. Because quotes are derived directly from bank prices, dealing spreads will fluctuate to reflect available forex market liquidity.

* OEC FX introduces customers trading in the forex market to Gain Capital Group, which acts as the counterparty to the forex transaction.
