Trading Equity Index Futures and Foreign Exchange under a highly leveraged system introduces a large amount of risk to the investor. It is well-accepted that high risk goes hand in hand with high potential return. This risk does however mean that it is possible for an investor to lose their entire holdings in their trading account in a worst case scenario (although unlikely with the use of basic risk management techniques, stop-losses and the pace with which with the market would make such a move). It is however important to comprehend the degree of this risk, as this is the key to one of the main advantages of Leveraged Futures and Forex trading.

Each dollar invested is working as hard as it possibly can for you. Unlike the simple purchase of a share that may see for example a 1-2% fluctuation in price over a day and therefore leave the bulk of the investment untouched, leveraged investments focus all your capital on the "action-packed" portion of the underlying investment. Rather than hold a share worth say $10.00 with daily price fluctuation of a few cents, leveraged investments focus all your money in that last portion of the investment where all of the price movement lies. This means that all money invested is purely risk capital, because every dollar is literally "at-risk". By investing in Leveraged Futures and Forex and employing a strong Trading System as offered here, you may potentially increase your exposure to significant gains on your capital in a very short time. This also means you can lose a significant amount of your money as well, however being educated about your trading decisions and using sensible risk-management techniques, you will improve the likelihood of making profitable decisions and trades. This Trading System can offer you that.

Advantages of Equity Index Futures Trading

Maximum capital utilisation. As discussed, each dollar in an investors account can be utilised to offer the best potential return on a total portfolio.

Strong risk-management tools and procedures are allowed with the use of comprehensive contingent and market orders. This allows an investor to automate the entry and exit of a trade as set on their trading platform.

Direct Market Access so that you can make your own trades without a broker. This saves you time and expense.

Easy to use Trading Platform that allows you to undertake your trades effortlessly and efficiently.

Real time positions reference with instant marked-to-market updates and live price quotes.

Allows you to trade on the most exciting market and ride either long or short moves to your advantage and potentially provide the best possible return in a day. A market may open and close the trading day at the same price and therefore achieve no growth under simple buy and hold investment strategies. Actively trading the market up through long positions and down through short positions, with multiple trades in a day, can allow you to make strong returns on an otherwise profitless trading session.

Advantages of Foreign Exchange Trading

The Foreign Exchange is the largest financial market in the world, with daily volume averaging US$1.4 trillion, compared to the US$50 billion stock market. This volume gives the market an unprecedented level of "liquidity" which is basically the ease with which you can buy and sell. Having such a large amount of "open-interest" and transactions taking place allows an investor to enter and exit the market literally in a split-second. This improves the investors ability to achieve accurate trade execution on price and volume. The large volume can also potentially reduce the volatility of the market, as a "deeper" market tends to trend better with less price fluctuation. This may equate to a less risky market.

Foreign Exchange is also traded 24 hours per day, so the investor is not limited to trading only during the opening hours of the Stock Market, so you can trade according to your time zone if required. This is achieved through the market being firstly carried by Sydney and Singapore, then Tokyo, London and finally New York. There will however be particular times during a day that the foreign exchange may provide more beneficial movements due to the international time zones and various economic and political changes. The trading platform offered here closes during the weekend and reopens on Sunday afternoon.

There are no commissions or exchange fees with Foreign Exchange, only the "spread" between the bid and ask price.

Prices and fills are firm and guaranteed due to the volume. This increases the certainty associated with executing trades.

As with Futures, strong risk-management tools are available with Forex carrying the added advantage of Order Cancel Orders which can be set for specific FX positions.
