FXCM Inc., (NYSE:FXCM) launches the FXCM Forex Execution Center. With numerous requests for transparency in the forex market, the FXCM Execution Center will be a central hub on the FXCM websites that will provide forex traders with detailed information regarding forex execution practices. FXCM will continue to update this area over the coming months with insightful information and analysis.

The first step is to explain the different forex execution models. Unlike most other forex brokers, who act as market-makers, FXCM operates on an agency execution model.

FXCM takes the best bid and ask prices streamed to them from multiple large financial institutions, adds a markup (commission) on top of those prices, and shows them to clients. FXCM makes an identical amount of money in the form of pip markups (which are really commissions) regardless of whether the customer makes or loses money on a trade. As a result, FXCM earns consistent and transparent revenue per trade.

This is significantly different from brokers who operate a dealing desk execution model, where the revenue per trade is not as transparent. There are common practices, many times unknown to customers, which allow dealing desk firms to make more than just the mark-up attached to the prices streamed from large financial institutions. These practices include, but are not limited to, re-quoting customer trades, taking the opposing side of customers trades, and even preventing customers from trading or managing their positions during news events.

Many experienced forex traders may find the concept difficult to grasp. And it is especially hard for those new to the forex industry.

LiteForex group of companies has implemented a revolutionary principle of spread reimbursement in a new MultiRebate system. The project puts into practice the reimbursement of maximum possible spread in the amount of 1.5 points from each transaction.

MultiRebate is a unique service as funds are accrued not only to the clients who conduct trading operations but also to partners.

Due to the advantageous proposal made by LiteForex, the task of attracting clients is becoming much easier. When a Partner becomes a member of the MultiRebate system, he significantly increases his referral base and earns much more money compared with working in the standard program. As soon as a referral logs in into the MultiRebate, instantly 0.4 points from each closed transaction are deposited to a partner’s account.

MultiRebate opens prospects for all market participants. Professional traders, who conduct a large number of transactions increase their income due to significant savings on spread; therefore, people who wish to have their own highly profitable business in the Forex-industry earn money by participating in our affiliate program.

You can find a detailed description of the new LiteForex service, logging into the MultiRebate site.

We’re happy to announce that starting June 1, 2010, Alpari will improve trading terms on CFD. Pending orders on all CFDs held will be valid until deleted by the client or until the expiration of the trading instrument, simplifying work for our clients who use long-term trading strategies. In connection with these improvements, there will be changes made in clauses 5.4 and 5.5 of the Terms of Business.

Previous Version:

• 5.4. Pending Orders on the Instruments, which are traded 24 hours a day, have “GTC” (“Good Till Cancelled”) status. The expiry date and time can be set by the Client in the “Expiry” field.
• 5.5. Pending Orders on the Instruments, which are not traded 24 hours a day, have “Day Order” status and will be deleted at the end of a trading session.

New Version:

• 5.4. For Instruments with Pending Orders that have the GTC (“Good Till Cancelled”) status, the order’s validity can be set independently by the Client, indicating a concrete date and time in the “Expiry” field. Otherwise the order will be accepted indefinitely. The order status for each instrument is indicated in the Contract Specification.
• 5.5. For Instruments with Pending Orders that have the DO (“Day Order”) status, orders are only accepted within the trading session and are deleted by the Dealer at the end of the trading day. The order status for each instrument is indicated in the Contract Specification.

ODL Group Limited ("ODL"), a leading, independent forex, derivatives, equities and commodities broker, announces today that it has agreed on terms to be acquired by US-based FXCM Holdings LLC ("FXCM"), a leading global forex broker that caters to both retail and institutional markets. ODL's strong UK and European businesses will provide an excellent complement to FXCM's sizeable operations in both the United States and Asia. The combined companies will operate as one of the largest non-bank forex brokers globally servicing over 200,000 live trading accounts with combined client assets in excess of US$800 million. The deal is still pending final due diligence review and regulatory approval.

Founded in 1999, FXCM is one of the largest forex brokers, regulated by several financial regulators including the Financial Services Authority in the UK and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in the U.S. FXCM is one of very few forex and CFD brokers to regularly publish its balance sheet. With over $135 million in firm capital (assets minus liabilities), FXCM exceeds regulatory requirements.

Post acquisition, ODL will continue to trade under its current name. A major benefit to ODL clients will be that they gain access to FXCM's No Dealing Desk execution on forex trades. Under No Dealing Desk execution, forex trades are fully-automated and executed back-to-back with one of the world's premier banks or financial institutions. Over ten banks compete to provide FXCM with bid and ask prices, resulting in low spreads and fast execution, with no intervention from a dealing desk on forex trades. Another major benefit of No Dealing Desk execution is the ability to place orders within one pip of the market with no restrictions.

Commenting on the acquisition, Drew Niv, CEO of FXCM, said: "For several years, FXCM has been working towards becoming a major player in Europe. The deal with ODL will provide us with a great opportunity to achieve this. We believe FXCM will be the only retail forex firm with a truly global footprint. In an industry in which size and scale are important, this is a major advantage."

We are glad to announce new forex Bonus program. You can open free, no deposit forex trading account with 5$ for trading. 
Also there are nice 100% bonus on deposit up to 100$ for successful trading

More and more traders all over the world, not wanting to pay interest to banks, are choosing swap-free accounts. Alpari, in answer to this global trend, has expanded our account offering with Swap-Free accounts: classic.mt4.swapfree, classic.systematic.swapfree and micro.mt4.swapfree.

Alpari’s Islamic accounts used to only be available for a restricted number of clients from a specific list of countries. Now all Alpari clients have the opportunity to choose a swap-free account, whose trading terms have significantly improved. Swap-Free account holders pay a fixed commission instead of swap, which depends not on a bank’s interest rates but on the currency pair and number of open lots. The minimum commission on these accounts has now decreased to $3 per 1 lot. You can find more detailed information on the commission for different currency pairs in the Contract Specification..

These new accounts will be of interest to traders who prefer commission over swaps, as well as to our Muslim clients, since the Islamic Shariah Law forbids trading with swaps. Alpari, as always, strives toward making the Forex market accessible for everyone.

Please note that we have extended the betting times for all bets that expire within the same day, as follows:

• Forex - Bets have to end 120mins before the market closes
• Indices - Bets have to end 25mins before the market closes
• US and UK stocks - Bets have to end 75mins before the market closes

For more information please refer to the Market Opening times section.

Since 1 March 2010 the additions to the clause 3.1.12 of the Customer Agreement will be applied.
In particular, the new rules will be applied  to the changes of the limit & stop levels  when the important economic news and indicators are released

We're happy to inform you that starting March 1^st, 2010, the commission will be lowered on account deposits through the Moneybookers system.

From March 1^st, 2010, when depositing to your trading account with a credit/debit card through the electronic Moneybookers system, you will be charged a commission of 2.2% + 0.29 EUR.

When depositing to your trading account using a bank wire transfer through the electronic Moneybookers system or using your Moneybookers wallet, you will be charged a commission of 1.2% + 0.29 EUR.

Transactions conducted in the SWFX marketplace may be done on margin trading basis, enabling a client to leverage a deposit for access to bigger liquidity from invested funds and amplified market effect. The multi-currency exposure of the account is limited by the Total Trading Line which is calculated in the base currency, by multiplying the Equity of the account by the leverage agreed with Dukascopy. During regular trading hours, the total Free Trading Line can be up to a 100 times the amount of the equity. The initial leverage of the account can be adjusted to different levels (e.g. 1:50 or 1:20) which are predefined by Dukascopy and the client. The necessary margin to run an exposure is computed each time at trade initiation, and the amount of Free Trading Line is updated in real time on the trading platform.

Minimum margin requirements

In order to protect clients from incurring liability above their equity and protect Dukascopy (Suisse) SA from associated risks, the following minimum margin policy applies: The minimum equity requirement for the self-trading account is 100 CHF. For accounts with different base currency the minimum amount of equity is calculated at the corresponding rate of the latest settlement. All open positions may be closed and the account may be blocked should the equity on the account reach the minimum margin requirement.

The minimum margin required to open a position depends on the desired leverage, currency pair and current market prices. The table below lists the minimum margins required to trade a contract of 100'000 for different currency pairs if the account's leverage is set to 1:100.

* The minimum margin requirements will differ if the initial leverage is changed
** See section "Over-the-weekend leverage" for additional information
*** If equity for the self trade account is less than CHF 100 or equivalent in foreign currency, the account may be blocked by Dukascopy.

Use of leverage

In order to facilitate the perception of used margin and the extent of an exposure, Dukascopy has created a special real-time percentage indicator - use of leverage. The use of leverage has two objectives: 1) to show how much of Free Trading Line is used to run an exposure and 2) to run the margin call and margin cut procedure on the account. The equation for the use of leverage is as follows:

*Note that the total Free Trading Line equals to equity multiplied by leverage

Example:
Exposure on the account = USD 1,000,000
Profit and losses = 0
Leverage authorized for the account = 1:20
Equity = USD 100,000
Total Trading Line = Equity X Leverage = USD 100,000 X 20 = USD 2,000,000
Use of leverage = Used Trading Line / Total Trading Line = 1,000,000 / 2,000,000 = 50%

Margin call and margin cut policy

Margin call (use of leverage >100%) means a situation where the margin requirements do not allow the client to increase exposure on his account.The client may only close the existing unhedged positions or hedge current positions in order to reduce exposure. Despite the margin call level being reached, the positions will not be closed automatically. The automated system will cancel all placed bid/offer orders that can increase the exposure.

Margin cut or cut-off level (use of leverage ≥ 200%) - if the use of leverage reaches or exceeds 200%, Dukascopy has the right (but not the obligation) to fully or partially reduce the client's exposure by closing existing positions and/or by opening new positions in the opposite direction. Usually the system automatically reduces exposure so that the use of leverage is brought to approximately 100%.

Over-the-weekend leverage

Maximum available leverage for the weekends and other market closure days is typically set to 1:30. The purpose of this policy is to mitigate risks caused by potential price gaps during market closure, which may seriously threaten invested funds.

Standard algorithm: Over-the-weekend trading conditions are effective starting 5 hours before each market closure (weekend, holidays, etc) until re-opening of the market. For usual Friday night closure, over-the-weekend conditions would become effective at 18:00 [GMT]. As a result of leverage contraction, the use of leverage can increase if the account has exposure. Regardless of the over-the-weekend margin conditions, the general execution mechanisms of the margin call and margin cut remain the same. That is, if the amount of equity on the account is not sufficient to support existing positions with a leverage of 1:30, the margin cut procedure will be applied to the account (see paragraph Margin Call and Margin Cut).

Risk disclosure

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. It is highly recommended to maintain the use of leverage at normal levels. The client must always keep in mind that margin trading increases potential loss, as well as potential profit, and invested funds can quickly suffer losses in situations where the market prices exhibit strong volatility, potentially creating an adverse environment for the highly leveraged participant. The client shall be solely responsible for maintaining sufficient margin in relation to the existing positions.

We have made this change so that our services could be more affordable and you could test as many new trading strategies as possible.

ForexHunt offers possibility to make use of a new service – swap-free. The Swap-free account services are intended for traders who use trading systems that do not take into account the impact of swaps or those customers who can not use swaps owing to their religious beliefs. This determines the secondary name of this type of accounts: "Islamic accounts".

Our new multi-venue technology capitalises on the recent rapid expansion in Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs), which compare prices from multiple sources and find the best deal available, offering superior pricing and increased liquidity.

Tighter spreads, better value

Our new technology works behind the scenes, consolidating data from Europe's two leading MTFs, Chi-X and Turquoise, with that of traditional exchanges such as LSE and Euronext, allowing traders to benefit from even narrower spreads on shares and increased value for money.

Multi-venue technology also gives clients access to free live data on top UK and European shares, a significant advantage for those not wishing to pay for live data from the major exchanges. And our Price Improvement technology means that if a better price exists on a fee-liable venue, the better value will be reflected.

Those traders looking for direct market access can also trade directly into the order book of the world's equity exchanges. Our new Smart Order Router will automatically send your order to the venue providing the best price available at the time.

For further information on our innovative multi-venue technology, please see the Share CFDs section of our IG Markets website.

We have also introduced the technology for our spread betting site IG Index, leading to tighter spreads on up to 1450 UK and European shares.

The current conditions will be in effect till the end of the trading session on 31st December, 2009 (till 19:00 GMT). We request that clients with open positions in GOLD, close the positions before 19:00 GMT on 31st January, 2009. Any positions remaining open at the end of this period will be closed automatically.

Thank you for staying with us through 2009! We are happy to announce the payment of annual interest on funds not used in trades. This is available to all of our clients who met the qualifying requirement of not having withdrawn funds from their trading account for 6 months. For accounts opened less than six months ago, the annual interest will be calculated based on the period for which the account has been open.

Changes in the conditions governing the payment of interest will come into force from 1st January, 2010.

From 1^st January 2010, the interest payment will not be dependent on funds not being withdrawn during the period! You will now be able to withdraw your funds any time without losing out on interest!

• 2,00% per annum for deposits in USD
• 1,50% per annum for deposits in EUR
• 2,00% per annum for deposits in GBP
• 1,00% per annum for deposits in CHF

 The accrual of interest is calculated on condition that a certain monthly volume of trading has been obtained on a group of Forex instruments depending on the size of your trading account deposit:

• For deposits above 1,000,000 USD (or equivalent in other currency), your total monthly volume of trading should not be less than 1,000 lots.

The interest paid can be used in trading and/or withdrawn from the account in the usual manner at the end of each month. The amount can be seen in the Account History section of the MRC- MetaTrader 4 terminal on the last day of each month.

You can trade actively, with a fraction of your deposit and the unused finds will give you an additional profit similar to a bank deposit as well!

For the third year running IG Index has won the award for Best Spread Betting Service at the Shares Awards.

The award, voted for by readers of Shares Magazine, confirms IG Index's position as the world's number one spread betting firm. We were also selected Financial Provider of the Year, making us the only organisation to receive multiple awards on the night.

In total IG Index was nominated for six awards including Best Online Trading Platform and Best Binary Betting Service, with IG Markets being nominated for Best CFD Provider.

Matthew Tooth, managing director of IG Index, commented 'being nominated in so many categories shows not just the breadth but the quality of services we offer clients.' He added that the strength of the online dealing platform, PureDeal, was fundamental to the company's success: 'It has been a busy year and traders are very unforgiving if the online facility lets them down.'

This result follows recent research undertaken by Investment Trends, a leading market research organisation, which revealed that 30% of active financial spread betting clients in the UK hold an account with IG Index, with those surveyed citing reputation, quality of service and superior dealing platform among the reasons for choosing IG Index.

Saxo Bank, the specialist in online trading and investment, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire E*TRADE International’s local Nordic online trading business and online bank  from E*TRADE Nordic AB, an indirect subsidiary of E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corporation, a US-based financial services company.  The Nordic business includes client accounts in Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, and Norway.

This strategic move continues Saxo Bank’s steady expansion over the last few months and further cements Saxo Bank's position in the Scandinavian marketplace.

The acquisition of one of Scandinavia’s established online bank and brokerages is a further step by Saxo Bank towards offering more saving and investment products to investors.  Following this latest acquisition, Saxo Bank will be able to offer pension products as well as stock and margin accounts, bond offerings and later, a Funds Supermarket. Moreover, Saxo Bank’s AUM will increase by more than DKK 5.0bn and the acquisition adds an additional 50,000 active accounts.

In a joint statement, Kim Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen, Co-CEOs and co-founders of Saxo Bank, said: “This acquisition supports our long term expansion strategy and broadens our product offering on the SaxoTrader platform. In addition, the expanded client base will enable us to further improve our services to both existing and new clients through improved efficiency and scale.”

Following the acquisition, E*TRADE Nordic’s existing local clients will continue to enjoy the same service and offering to which they have become accustomed. In addition, E*TRADE Nordic’s local clients will benefit from the additional trading opportunities that they will find on the Saxo Bank platforms. Similarly, Saxo Bank’s existing and future clients will now have the opportunity to save for their pension through Saxo Bank as well as trade Bonds and hold margin accounts.

Fournais and Seier Christensen added: “The acquisition of E*TRADE International’s local Nordic business will strengthen our growth opportunities and market position in Scandinavia. In the past 10 years, E*TRADE International has become a well regarded online trading and investment brand across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The combination of E*TRADE Nordic’s local business and Saxo Bank’s brand is powerful and it strengthens our position in the long term investment market. Saxo Bank is looking forward to being able to offer E*TRADE Nordic’s products and services to our client base and vice versa.”

The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.  Terms of the deal were not disclosed. E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corporation was advised by Fox-Pitt Kelton (now part of Macquarie Capital) on this transaction.

We have been very successful in offering and integrating our services into the organisation of our clients. We offer access to a wide range of international specialists that focus entirely on delivering high quality solutions to our clients' allowing them to focus on core competencies, freeing up time for innovation and value creation. This is the secret of our success which we are certain Saxo Bank also will benefit from”.

Since its establishment in 2003, Initto has grown by an average of 50% per year and expects to enhance its service offerings with the support of Saxo Bank as a strong financial partner. Initto is headquartered in Ballerup near Copenhagen with a representative office in Oslo. Initto will continue to develop software and provide services to its existing client base.

In a joint statement, Kim Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen, Co-CEOs and co-founders of Saxo Bank, said: "We are thrilled to have acquired this stake in Initto, which has great synergies with Saxo Bank and fit perfectly with our business model. The acquisition is in line with our ambition to acquire fully developed businesses and utilize their expertise to develop and strengthen Saxo Bank’s products and services. Over the next few years, we will be working with Initto to further increase the value we offer our own clients. Initto’s current and future client base will also benefit from our commitment as client and shareholder. We want to remain a first class service provider and we believe Initto can help us achieve this goal."
