a lot of people use IB. i've read threads " IB new spread" and "IB's interest rate", it seems that ib has advantages and some problems. i have one confusion. Is currenex just a platform, or you can open account with them? i know you can open account directly with hotspotfx, i also know that there are brokers offer currenex platform, but i do not know if you can open account directly with currenex. anyone can answer my question?
No, when you want to trade on the currenex platform, you have to go through a broker or bank. It is just a platform.
Currenex is a technology provider only. They do not take deposits, they do not take positions, they do not trade. They supply technology for brokers and customers. To trade on Currenex you must go through either a WL partner: http://www.currenex.com/about_us_white_label.html Or a Prime Broker: http://www.currenex.com/about_us_prime_brokers.html
