To get started, please select your country. Accounts are denominated in GBP:
* The UK tax treatment of your financial betting activities depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future, or may differ in other jurisdictions.
** Re-quotes occur when a trader makes an order at a specific price, but the order is rejected by a trading desk, and the trader is given a new price to accept or reject. Re-quotes can slow down your trading. FXCM cannot re-quote forex orders because those orders operate on straight through processing. FXCM also maintains a no re-quote policy for indices, metals, and oil, although those orders do not operate on straight through processing. Orders are executed at the best price available within the trader's parameters, subject to market liquidity at the time.
† Foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
Please note that many features are the same or similar for both demo and live accounts. This may not always be the case. Differences include, but are not limited to, the fact that demo scenarios attempt to replicate real-time market scenarios. However, you are not subject to real-time market liquidity while operating a demo account. Please note that execution of all client orders on a live account is subject to market liquidity at the time your order is submitted for execution, and as such, conditions may arise when this may differ from a demo scenario that is not dependent on real-time liquidity.
