Differece between Forex vs Equities and Futures............

Commission Free Trading
We are able to provide this level of service to our clients because Realtime Forex SA is a market
maker, not a broker. There are, therefore, no mark ups, commissions or charges to pay. Our
profitability, as our clients', depends solely on our trading ability
20 : 1 Leverage (or even greater)
Realtime Forex SA allows greater leverage than the equities, futures or options market.
Traders
can utilize 20:1 leverage (or even greater) without risking a margin call situation. Leverage is a
double-edged sword. Without proper risk management this high degree of leverage can lead to
large losses as well as gains.
24-Hour Market
The Forex market is a seamless 24-hour market. As a trader, this allows you to react to
favorable/unfavorable events by trading immediately. It also gives traders the added flexibility of
determining their trading day.
Ability to Profit in Up or Down Market
Unlike the equity market, there is no restriction on short selling. Profit potential exists in the
currency market regardless of whether a trader is long or short, or which way the market is
moving. Since currency trading always involves buying one currency and selling another, there is
no structural bias to the market. This means a trader has an equal potential to profit in a rising, or
falling market
Superior liquidity
With a daily trading volume that is 50x larger than the New York Stock Exchange, there are
always broker/dealers willing to buy or sell currencies in the FX markets. The liquidity of this
market, especially that of the major currencies, helps ensure price stability. Traders can almost
always open or close a position at a fair market price.
