Trade on forex from 0.0 pips with FX Active

With an FX Active account, you can trade on all the markets and instruments available on our standard CFD platform. So, on our own platform, you can trade on FX, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs, share baskets, forex indices, commodity indices, plus rates and bonds. On MT4, you can trade on FX, indices and commodities. Note that only six major FX pairs have spreads from 0.0 pips.

FX Active has fully transparent commissions across all forex pairs at 0.0025% per transaction, as well as minimum spreads from 0.0 pips on six major FX pairs, and a 25% spread reduction compared with our standard CFD account on all the other currency pairs we offer.

Commission is charged at a fixed rate of 0.0025% per transaction. This works out as $2.50 per $100,000 worth of currency trade. At this notional volume, it would cost $5 to open and close a trade. MT4 commissions are charged upfront for opening and closing trades.
