CFD/Share Trading
The "CFD", or "Contract for Difference", was developed to allow clients to receive all the benefits of owning a stock without having to physically own the stock itself. For example, instead of purchasing 1,000 shares of Microsoft from a stock broker, a client could instead buy a 10 lots of Microsoft on the GCI CFD trading platform. A $5 per share rise in the price of Microsoft would confer to the client a $5,000 profit, just as if he had purchased the actual shares that are traded on the exchange. A major difference is that there are no exchange fees and many of the inefficiencies of trading the underlying shares on the exchange are eliminated. GCI can therefore offer CFDs with zero commissions and very attractive margin requirements. CFDs have grown in popularity dramatically over the past few years, and we believe that this will increasingly be the preferred way to trade the financial markets.
Forex API / Automated Trading
For traders interested in utilizing an automated trading system or developing their own black box strategy, FOREX.com supports fully automated trade execution via a proprietary API.
The API provides users with the ability to receive a real-time rate feed, submit trade requests, set and modify stop-loss and take-profit orders, and receive automated confirmations of trade activity.
For qualified users, we provide a testing environment that enables developers to "paper trade" and test their systems in real time before using the API in a production environment with actual funds.

Learning to Trade Forex
Why should I learn Forex currency trading?
By reaching to our website, I think you are already aware that Forex trading is a good way to make money at home. More over, I bet you knew someone, or would have heard of someone, who's already making tons of good money in FX trading.
But what you wouldn't know is that 7 out of 10 traders keep losing money in Forex market! That's right, 70% of individual FX traders keep losing their hard-earned money in the market; while the rest of the 30% work freely at home and earn millions annually)
Wonder what differs between the losing 70% and the winning 30%?
Forex trading skills and the trading system! If you want to work less than 20 hours a day at home, if you want to make millions by trading freely at home, if you want to have financial freedom by trading Forex; you better LEARN Forex trading before you start trading Forex. Forex market is definitely not a game for newbie and you need to brush up your skills before getting your hands wet.

Forex Signal Dashboard
Due to the forex market’s high liquidity, 24 hour trading and low start up-costs, many investors are intrigued by it. However, not all traders are able to learn the basics on how to trade currency. This can be because of conflicting time schedules or other job delegations. Investors who wish to participate in the forex market but don’t have the time or the know-how to do so still have ways to reap the benefits. Managed forex accounts are accounts that are managed by individuals that are part of a financial company, whom have the expertise and knowledge in the forex market. It is a live forex account funded by an investor, and traded by a company or a professional. This allows the investor to receive a reasonable profit margin without having to invest their time into doing it themselves.
The company or individual hired by the investor to manage the forex account will take up the responsibility of analyzing and interpreting the market. As well as that, they are responsible for making recommendations to the investor as to which currency pairs should be bought or sold, in their opinion. Many companies and investment firms are part of the forex market. Most of these organizations have a high amount of experience in managing forex accounts. They provide close to 100% value for their services in the forex market. Due to these results, it gives the potential investor a high level of confidence in the company’s services. When these accounts are handled correctly by a professional currency representative, managed forex accounts allow for a better chance of a steady yearly return.

Forex Trader Success Story
Success Story of a Part Time Forex Trader
A new Forex article was added to my collection today. Hearing another success story of the Forex trader might as old to some people, as motivating to others. I think this one will be at least useful to many Forex traders. Experienced and professional Forex traders can say that part time Forex trading can’t be good and that it will always lack the “full market control and awareness”. Yes, I’d agree with them to some extent, but still, part time trading remains the only option to many Forex beginners (and not only beginners, just not professionals). So, here it is:

Calculate Forex pip value
What is a pip ?
A pip in Forex is the minimum price movement of a currency pair.
For example, in the JPYUSD it is 0.01 and in the GBPUSD it is 0.0001. A pip is then worth $10, $1 or $0.1, depending on the size of lots you trade:
| Lot size | Name | Pip value |
| $100,000 | standard | $10 |
| $10,000 | mini | $1 |
| $1,000 | micro | $0.1 |
This is okay for cross rates that are against the US$ (US$ base currency), but what if your trading account is based in US$ and you wish to trade, for example, the GBPJPY? How do you know what a pip is worth in US$ when you are trading a cross rate that does not have its base currency in US$. That is where things get more complicated!
You must convert the base currency - the second currency in your cross rate - JPY in our GBPJPY example, back into US$. To do this, you use the current USDJPY rate. This is where the Pip Value Calculator (below) helps.
Pip Value Calculator
First, select your trading Account currency (normally US$); then, choose your Currency pair; then, input your Lot size (100,000, 10,000 or 1,000); then, if asked, input the required Current price; finally, click the Calculate button.

Currency Trading Online : Exotic Currency Options
Finally, there are several 'exotic' currency options which are available for trading. I have never traded them myself, but they are quite popular, so here they are:
- One touch option - pays a fixed amount if the market touches a set price
- No touch option - pays a fixed amount if the market doe not touch a set price
- Double no touch - pays a fixed amount if two prices remain untouched ( used for sideways trending strategies where the currency is range bound )
- Double one touch - as above but one price is touched
- Digital - pays a fixed amount if the price is above or equal to at expiry
OK - that's it on currency options, now let's put it all together into a planned strategy to build our currency trading business in simple steps.

Forex Broker: Choosing the right Forex Broker
Sometimes it's hard to make a decision on which Forex broker to open our trading account, there are just too many of them. Most of them have different features, capabilities, weaknesses and advantages, for this reason I have created a checklist that can help you decide the broker to use in your Forex adventure.
1. Is it regulated?
The first question you have to ask yourself is: is the broker I want to use Regulated ? There must be no doubt about this first point. All regulated brokers must submit financial reports to regulatory authorities, and when they fail to do it, authorities have the right to fine them or terminate their membership. This enforces Forex brokers to keep transparent financial reports.
The brokers must be regulated by their local regulatory authorities, for instance, for brokers based in the US , they must be regulated by the NFA (National Futures Association) and CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), Swiss based brokers must be regulated by the FDF (Swiss Federal Department of Finance) and so on.
Also when a Forex broker is regulated allows investors to dispute any resolution, increasing the investor protection.
2. Trading Conditions
This point refers to the features of the trading platform and the trading conditions with the chosen broker. Amongst the most important factors are:
Spread - Obviously the smaller the spread on currency pairs the better the conditions are for investors and traders.
Platform execution - Trading execution refers to how fast and consistent are the execution of trades. Some brokers guarantee fast and transparent executions during normal market conditions.
Fractional trading - Some brokers allow investors and traders to trade on a fractional basis, instead of trading full lots "100,000 units" or "300,000 units", they allow you to trade "163,345 units" or "325,911 units". This is very helpful for trades risking certain percentage of their balance on each trade.
Safety of funds - We need to make sure our trading funds are kept in a segregated account or at least insured.
