Why Trade with OEC FX

Trade on spreads as low as 1-2 pips

Trade on dealing spreads as low as 1-2 pips on the most widely traded currency pairs. As always, you pay no commissions at OEC FX. Your only transaction cost is the dealing spread - the difference between the bid and the ask price. And with our fractional pips, you gain an extra digit of precision so that you can take advantage of smaller price movements.

Plus, you can enter orders at any price - even inside the spread - and trade around news events, major economic announcements and other times of high market volatility. For traders who prefer to trade in a fixed spreads environment, that option is also available.

Fully automated click & deal trading, with instantaneous fills

At OEC FX, we've always automated processing for all click & deal forex trades. When you click BUY or SELL, our systems perform a real time margin check and, if accepted, immediately respond with a trade confirmation.

Why is this important to you? First, you benefit from an unbiased trading environment that is not subject to human intervention. Second, automated trade processing improves our efficiency, which lowers our overhead and allows us to pass along the saving to you in the form of tighter spreads.

Flexible account types and leverage

• Standard accounts, with a default lot size of 100K and leverage+ of 100:1 (1%), are well suited for active forex traders.
• Mini accounts feature smaller, 10k contract sizes and leverage+ of up to 100:1. For traders new to the forex market, a mini account is a great way to get started trading in a live environment.

Traders should be aware that the advantages of increased leverage, also increases the level of risk.
