Margin Trading: FX 

A Margin FX transaction is a leveraged, spot foreign exchange transaction between you and Velocity Trade to simultaneously exchange one currency for another at an agreed rate. In every exchange transaction currencies are traded in pairs so there is always a long (bought) and a short (sold) side to a trade.

Why trade?

1. Get fast access to global currencies without leaving your computer.
2. Take advantage of one currency strengthening or weakening in relation to another currency.
3. Margin FX is traded OTC (Over The Counter, which means it is not traded by an exchange and thus can be traded anytime of the day, from anywhere).
