Micro Trading

FXCM strongly suggests that you open a Micro account before trading forex on a Standard 10K account. This will give you the opportunity to become familiar with the trading platform.

In addition, trading forex on a Micro account is the perfect place to test and fine tune trading strategies before you implement them on a Standard 10K account.
