Online Forex traders new to Forex currency exchange trading were often put off by margin deposits exceeding $100,000. Some Forex ECN brokers had minimum initial account deposits of $250,000.

Although margin deposits with a market maker broker could be lower, higher, variable spreads, even on major currencies, could result in a large percentage of trading profits going to the broker, or worse yet trading losses being magnified by that large percentage. InvestTechFX has eradicated this reality by making minimum account size and trade size very reasonable, also offering some of the most competitive spreads.

For example, if a trader pays a market maker a two pip spread on a 1000 unit trade of the EUR/USD that earns a ten pip profit, InvestTechFX experts explain that the two pip spread would cost that trader 20%. Any broker of stocks, bonds or futures that tried to charge a 20% commission would be drawn and quartered. Fx trading experts at InvestTechFX go onto explain that the percentage represented by the spread would decrease as profit increased, but upon objective examination, it seems as though the trader takes the risks and the market maker broker reaps the reward with zero risk. In times of high volatility, the market maker’s spread can even be higher, further eroding positive trades and escalating the damage of losing trades.

An Electronic Clearing Network (Forex ECN) broker like InvestTechFX, on the other hand, offers spreads as low as one half pip on major currency pairs. The spread can be higher on the currencies of politically and economically unstable countries, but new traders shouldn’t be trading these currencies in the first place and experienced traders have already learned to avoid them.

InvestTechFX has opening margin deposits of as little as $100, so new traders can sample foreign currency exchanges with minimal risk and have the opportunity to determine Forex trading’s suitability to their temperament and circumstances. They also offer clients the use of MetaTrader, considered to be the gold standard of trading software. This is the same trading platform preferred by large professional and institutional traders, those whose deal in multimillion unit Forex currency exchange transactions.

InvestTechFX recently reported the potential for a breakout to the upside of the EUR/USD pair, based on the stagnation of price activity around $1.39 and the very real prospect of China coming to the EU’s rescue. Bankers facing a 60% write-down of the Greek debt they were holding, along with the real possibility of being left with entirely worthless paper, happily accepted China’s offer of $.50 on the dollar.

News of the agreement, details of which remain to be finalized, sent the EUR/USD on a 350 pip tear, explains InvestTechFX. The uptrend lasted throughout the New York session until close to the end, when prices retreated slightly, but in no degree sufficient to declare a reversal. Still, experts still admit that they don’t know with total assurance what the market will do.

One of the main features that makes MetaTrader 5 superior to MetaTrader 4 is its architecture. A set of functions that were previously performed by one server, are logically divided between separate components in the new platform: a trade server; an access server; a history; and backup server. Such an organisation of internal interaction significantly increases the reliability and performance of the system. This translates to increased productivity, improved fault tolerance, greater stability and faster trade execution.

The MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal is a perfectly equipped trader’s working tool that allows traders to create practically any trading system and actively manage it.  The platform contains all the trading functions a trader will ever need. All types of Orders are supported, with four types of trade Operation Execution available: Instant, Request, Market and Exchange.

For traders preferring to automate their trading, the new MetaTrader 5 platform is perfect. The MT5 script has been condensed and improved to be more accessible and user friendly. MQL5 IDE is a built-in development environment for writing and using EAs, helping traders to automate their trading strategies or write their own technical indicators.

In MetaTrader 4, clients had the standard M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN timeframes, but MetaTrader 5 introduces intermediate timeframes into the mix. Built-in indicators and graphical objects are used for quick analysis of quotes and trade decision-making. In summary, the terminal offers 3 types of charts, 21 timeframes and more than 70 analytical tools.

The terminal provides all the necessary tools needed to ensure full-fledged and flexible trading activities. With such a powerful trading arsenal, one can easily detect trends, various figures, entry-exit points and so much more, at just a click of the mouse.

Michael Greenberg from Forex Magnates recently had a chance to interview Lenar Fatkhullin, the Marketing Manager of Metaquotes Corporation – the developer of world’s most popular forex trading platform.

Why did you develop and launch MT5? Many estimate that this is your take on the stocks/indices/futures markets after you conquered the whole forex market and that is why it was rumored to be priced at $500k and when acceptance wasn’t satisfying the pricing changed to the MT4 levels, is that so?
