CLIENTS - Who Should Use FXTrade?

OANDA's proprietary FXTrade Platform was developed with the specific goal of appealing to and satisfying the trading needs of a broad user base. Our premise was to make currency trading simple and convenient for everyone from the novice FX investor/speculator to the experienced trader.

OANDA's FXTrade Platform is derived from 15+ years of foreign exchange market research and analysis. By incorporating patented market-making and risk management technologies, OANDA is able to offer clients and partners the most innovative and revolutionary online FX trading platform in the market today. By truly automating the process, OANDA's FXTrade provides the most efficient and cost effective means for individuals and businesses alike to trade currencies in the spot market.

Individual Investors / Speculators
Institutional and Hedge Fund Managers
Corporate Treasuries
B2B Exchanges

*Regional banks and financial institutions as well as online banks, insurance companies and brokerage - Please refer to White Label Partner document to learn how you can use our technologies for your online trading initiatives.

Individual Investors / Speculators:

OANDA's intuitive and easy-to-use FXTrade Platform is revolutionizing the FX marketplace. By lowering the barriers of entry into the world's largest and most liquid market, FXTrade opens up currency trading to individual investors and speculators. OANDA's FXTrade offers the lowest spreads currently available via the Net and, unlike the competition, FXTrade allows clients to trade as low as $1 US Dollar. In addition, OANDA's FXTrade is unique in that it calculates interest on a continual rather than overnight basis. This enables day-traders to take advantage of interest rate differentials on positions held for hours and even minutes!

Institutional and Hedge Fund Managers:

Utilizing FXTrade provides institutional funds and hedge fund managers with another, more competitive and efficient, source for FX trading. FXTrade allows managers to trade in a marketplace that offers the tightest spreads available on the Net regardless of transaction size.
Our narrow spreads offer a cost-effective means for hedge fund managers, in particular, to implement arbitrage strategies, buying stocks on one exchange and then selling them on another simultaneously. For managers making intra-day trades, our platform provides a unique feature - it applies the interest rate differential to all transactions on a second by second basis- meaning managers can now earn the differential without having to hold a position overnight.
