FXCM offers Stock Baskets that allow you to speculate on the performance of a certain sector without having to open exposure on each stock individually.
FXCM's Stock Baskets contain a number of individual stocks relating to a specific sector.
You can enable the available instruments on your account today by typing either STOCK BASKETS, FAANG, CANABBIS, ESPORTS, BIOTECH, CHN.TECH, CHN.ECOMM, TRAVEL, US AUTO, US BANKS, US E-COMMERCE or WFH into the search box on the Trading Station Symbols list window.
When executing customers' trades, FXCM can be compensated in several ways, which include, but are not limited to: spreads, charging commissions at the open and close of a trade, and adding a mark-up to rollover, etc. Commission-based pricing is applicable to Active Trader account types.
Leverage: Leverage is a double-edged sword and can dramatically amplify your profits. It can also just as dramatically amplify your losses. Trading foreign exchange/CFDs with any level of leverage may not be suitable for all investors. Leverage for FX and CFDS varies per instrument. Major currency pairs default to 30:1, non-major currency pairs, gold and major indices default to 20:1, commodities other than gold and non-major equity indices default to 10:1, individual equities and other reference values default to 5:1.
