FXCM 100K Account |
|
$2,000 minimum initial deposit
Standard lot sizes of 100,000 units
Trade with leverage of 100:1
3-5 pip spreads on the Majors
The 100K account is designed for the advanced or professional trader who is looking to maximize profit potential by trading larger lot sizes. Whereas the lot size on the mini account is only 10,000 units, the 100K account deals in standard FX lots of 100,000 units
of the base currency. Trading in larger lots sizes translates into $10 a pip on a Euro trade. Traders on the 100K account also benefit from tight 3-5 pip fixed spreads* on the major currency pairs.
There is no maximum to the number of lots traders can trade on the 100K account. All orders are executed and confirmed within seconds. The FX Trading Station never requests the size of a trader’s potential order, or which side of the market he’s trading prior to giving him a bid/offer quote. FXCM’s price transparency assure that traders always receive a fair price as the real time streaming quotes enhances trading performance by eliminating slippage.
The minimum deposit for a regular FXCM trading account is $2,000. However, FXCM recommends depositing between $5,000 and $10,000 to allow more flexibility for opening multiple positions and to prevent premature margin calls that would result from an overly leveraged position. FXCM advises traders with less than $10,000 to trade on the mini account, who’s fractional lot size and reduced margin requirements are more conducive to smaller account balances.
