Saxo Bank launches retail FX trading platform ForexTrading.com with lower minimal deposit
In an interesting move Saxo Bank decided against reducing the minimal deposit ($10,000) it requires from its investors and instead of lowering its standards decided to launch another, almost identical service, which requires a much smaller deposit - $2000. So basically you get here the same Saxo award winning platform (with less currency pairs and commodities) but with lower cash requirements and tighter spreads. Unorthodox move by all means by surely a unique one.
Saxo Bank, the online trading and investment specialist, today announced the launch of ForexTrading.com which will offer retail investors a select range of FX crosses and CFDs with variable spreads - as low as 0.8 pips. ForexTrading.com provides investors with a range of basic functionalities designed to make trading flexible and straightforward.
