FOREX
The forex market is a near-seamless 24-hour market. Subject to available liquidity, Friedberg Direct offers forex trading from Sunday, starting after 5:15 p.m. ET, until Friday, 4:55 p.m., ET (Client Service is available 24/7). Orders placed prior may be filled until 5 p.m. ET.
With the ability to trade around the clock, currency traders have the advantage of customizing their own trading schedule; they can usually get in or out of the market at any time without waiting for an opening bell or encountering a market gap. While trading stocks after usual market hours is possible, very often that possibility is negated by a lack of order flow or a drastic widening of the bid-ask spread.
In the forex market costs are generally confined to the bid-ask spread. Friedberg Direct charges no commission and is only compensated through a mark-up. The mark-up is generally 1 pip for major currency pairs and is added to the spread Friedberg Direct receives from its (direct or indirect) liquidity providers via the FX Trading Station.
