Fully automated click & deal trading, with instantaneous fills
At FOREX.com, we've always automated processing for all click & deal forex trades. When you click BUY or SELL, our systems perform a margin check and, if accepted, immediately respond with a trade confirmation.
Why is this important to you? First, you benefit from an unbiased trading environment that is not subject to human intervention. Second, automated trade processing improves our efficiency, which lowers our overhead and allows us to pass along the saving to you in the form of tighter spreads.
