Learn more about why you should open a trading account with us.

A trading account is used to buy or sell assets on a provider’s platform. The term most commonly refers to a leveraged account used for speculation, as opposed to a General Investment Account that holds longer-term positions. 

Trading accounts can be used to access a variety of market types, such as forex, indices, shares and commodities. 

Previously, exchanges were physical locations that operated with an outcry system. But now, you can access financial markets electronically via your trading account. You can just transfer money into your account and use those funds to place orders with us, then we will open the trade for you.
