Trading volume, $350 billion worth of
transactions monthly, may be the largest single source of
retail currency trades in the world. As a result, we have obtained close
banking relationships with seven of the worlds largest and most aggressive price
providers. Having multiple price providers is especially important in volatile
markets, when one or two banks may post wide spreads, or simply avoid quoting
any price at all. With so many major banks quoting prices to Forexgen, there
are competitive spreads, even during market-moving news events.
Forexgen does not take a market position—eliminating a major conflict of
interest. A dealing desk broker, which acts as a market maker, may be trading
against your position. With our No Dealing Desk execution, however, we fill
your orders from the best prices available to us from the banks. While an
individual bank may try to skew its prices off the market, the unattractive
price on the bid or ask side will lose the price competition and as a result,
not factor into the prices streamed to you. At Forexgen, prices are not subject
to manipulation by a broker or a bank’s dealing desk.
While our competitors are beginning to follow our example of offering No
Dealing Desk execution, we have successfully implemented it. Excellent bid and
ask prices are not meaningful unless you have a reliable trading platform to
execute trades. Our trading platform is tested in all market conditions,
routinely handling over 100,000 trades per day.
