About our pricing

Using our proprietary rate engine, we aggregate prices from some of the world's leading FX banks, in real-time. Our quotes are derived directly from bank prices and our dealing spreads fluctuate to reflect available market liquidity. Fractional pip pricing is quoted in more precise 0.1 pip increments; this extra digit of precision will help clients take advantage of smaller price movements.
