* The Active Trader Group provides lower commissions for high-volume traders (minimum $25,000 deposit or trade more than 10M per month in notional volume). You can take advantage of this pricing on any of FXCM's platforms. If you choose to trade on the Active Trader platform you will also have a view of the available liquidity at each price level. The combined transaction costs of the Active Trader program (spreads + commissions) should be substantially lower than the transaction costs (spreads) available to the typical FXCM standard account.
What else is included?
All platforms offered by FXCM are compatible with our No Dealing Desk forex execution. Additionally, all FXCM accounts receive 24/7 live support and have access to the DailyFX PLUS trading signals and trading course.
* Please be advised that CFD accounts are not available to residents of the US or its territories.
