Features and benefits - Trading online with MF Global Markets

Derivatives trading has been revolutionised by technology, with online trading platforms allowing individuals to operate on the same level as institutional traders.

The web-based trading platform from MF Global Markets affords trading access to more than 40 currency pairs, 24-hours a day, six days a week.

If you are a retail investor, you can take advantage of the Mini Forex and Mini-Plus Forex accounts offered by MF Global Markets.

The prices quoted by MF Global Markets are streamed by a number of major international banks, ensuring that it offers highly competitive spreads to you across all of the currency pairs available.

By streaming prices from various international sources, the MF Global Markets virtual exchange is able to automatically source the best bid and offer, meaning that you will always receive the optimum trading spread, rather than fixed or skewed pricing.

The platform allows clients to view their individual positions, account balances and trading power in real-time. The typical margin requirement for Standard and Mini-Plus accounts is 2.5%, which allows for 40 times leverage. However Mini accounts require just 1% margin, which equates to 100 times leverage. Clients also have the ability to set self-imposed risk-management parameters.

The platform is supported by a 24-hour helpdesk that can instantly provide information on the status of any order in the system. In addition, a telephone-dealing desk can execute trades should a client experience connectivity problems. A dedicated IT support team constantly refines the infrastructure, speed and reliability of the MF Global Markets touch® products. This team is also available to clients seeking advice on optimum Internet connectivity options and other technical issues.
