Apex offer Internet-based Forex (FX) trading to private investors, institutional investors, and money managers. We are dedicated to bringing FX traders equal access to the best dealing prices possible on all major currencies. Our mission is to give all sized investors 24 hour FX trading with the tightest Interbank spreads (three to five pips or less on all major currencies). At the same time, Apex provides clients with as much fundamental and technical information as possible in order for them to make valid decisions.

When trading with Apex you will be charged commission. Because of the mass-market nature of the Web, and the fact that Apex's services are offered online, operating costs are kept low so that Apex can pass these savings onto our clients. Prices are quoted inclusive of our dealing spreads, which are always 4-5 pips or less on all major currencies, including US Dollar, British Pound (Sterling), Japanese Yen, Euro, Swiss Franc, as well as the major cross rates. Note - quotes may be requested for the Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar and New Zealand Dollar (Kiwi), but the dealing spread may be more than 5 pips.

The two main benefits Apex offers over competing online FX brokers are (1) the ability to deal directly from real-time bid/ask quotes, and (2) the unparalleled professionalism and customer service provided by our team of experienced FX professionals. See Client Benefits for the additional benefits that we offer.

The only difference is that the computer executes demo trades while actual dealers execute funded account transactions. The demo is fully functional, uses the same software as real trading accounts, and allows potential traders the ability to trade directly from the same price quotes as real accounts. Apex recommends that all perspective clients experience our platform first hand.

Apex's dealing software provides each client with a wide range of trading tools, including technical analysis and charting, real-time news feeds, real-time profit and loss analysis, and full back office capabilities. Apex's market professionals will also provide daily FX commentary. Finally, account statements are sent at the beginning of each month, and list a summary by currency and value date of all current open positions, and account balance as calculated at the close of business on the last business day of the month.

Apex also offers a solution for those investors with risk capital who do not necessarily want to trade on their own. Apex offers our clients some of the finest managed Forex accounts in the industry, and is able to easily match appropriate clients to the proper managed account. In the Managed Accounts section we provide more detailed information on our Managed Account services.
