The forex market is a near-seamless 24-hour market. Subject to available liquidity, Forexgen offers trading from Sunday, starting after 5:15 PM EST, until Friday, 4PM, EST (Forexgen Client Service is available 24/7). With the ability to trade around the clock, currency traders have the advantage of customizing their own trading schedule; they can usually get in or out of the market at any time without waiting for an opening bell or encountering a market gap. While trading stocks after usual market hours is possible, very often that possibility is negated by a lack of order flow or a drastic widening of the bid-ask spread.
Pay No Commissions
In the forex market costs are confined to the bid-ask spread. Forexgen charges no commission or additional transaction fees, and its customer's trade on spreads provided to forexgen by some of the world’s largest banks via the FX Trading Station. In the stock market, “no-fee” programs are frequently offered only with provisos mandating minimum account balances or minimum trades per month.
No Uptick Rule
