Short positions are allowed. Forex trading is a commission free type of trading. Brokers derive their revenue from the difference between the bid and the ask price. This difference is called ?spread?. The tighter the spread the better. Our spreads are: Tight (EUR-USD 1 pip, GBP-USD 2 pips, ...) Don?t vary, even when there is news And regarding our order executions: We don?t need to requote A market order will be executed at the price at which you enter it The spreads quoted by WH SelfInvest are exceptional. 1 Pip on, for example, EUR/USD, EUR/GBP or USD/JPY. 2 Pips on, for example, GBP/USD or EUR/JPY. The below table shows the spreads on the major currency pairs. The spreads on all currency pairs can be found in the product table. The spreads are variable. They vary between the lowest spread and the maximum spread. The EUR/USD spread, for example, will vary between 1, 2 or 3 pips. The spread at any given moment is a function of time of day and volatility. Most brokers do not propose a maximum spread i.e. a spread cap. Maximum spreads is a great advantage WH SelfInvest offers. WH SelfInvest requires a margin of 1% of the contract size to open a position. As such the leverage on a forex trade is 100-1. We do not double margins over the weekend. For the major forex pairs we can accept electronic orders for up to $ 20.000.000. WH SelfInvest is at the technological forefront of forex trading. Hence we offer a multitude of functionalities which appeal to active investors such as trading via the charts, automated orders and guru indicators. Via the ITX (inter trader exchange) clients can trade among themselves at tighter spreads than ours.
