January 15th, 2009 Shabu Technology 0
FX Solutions is a Forex website that comes across as customer friendly.
It has a downloadable platform called GTS Pro or Global Trading System and a web-based one, called GTS Web. The website has four languages — English, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese, while trading can be carried out only in English.
What’s on offer at FX Solutions?
You can go for a demo account with practice money valid for a month, or you can open accounts, either mini or Standard.
You also have the option of using either FLEXI leverage with a range of 1:50 till 1:400 or FLEXI contracts. Users can set the number of currency units they want to trade, starting at 1000 and going up to 100,000. Spreads offered are within industry norms.
Registering at FX Solutions
The registration process is slightly detailed, and may take a while to complete. After submitting the prescribed form, there might be a delay of about two hours before your account can be activated.
To make a deposit before starting you forex trading, you have a variety of options, including credit card, paper check, PayPal and wire transfer. An identification process has to be completed for the life insurance quote. Withdrawals, on the other hand, are more time-consuming, with the complexity depending on the chosen deposit mode. There’s also a fee involved.
The Interface
The screen may appear quite confusing at first because of the multiplicity of tabs. However once you look closely, you will see that this is actually a positive feature, because all actions are just a click away. For instance, at the click of a button you can cancel and reverse a trade. You also get e-mail and SMS alerts at various milestones, like stop trade activation.
Tools like Accucharts and GTS Charts help you carry out trading efficiently, though for the former you will need to switch platforms.
Some amount of training is offered on the site, you can learn about some basic forex strategies like carry trading, while more is available for a price on CDs and other modes. Customer support is good upto a point. FX Solutions does not provide personal account managers though you can hire trading agents to carry out your business for you.
On the whole, the site, which is technologically very sound, can be rated somewhere in the middle of the chart because of reasons like mediocre customer support and business terms that could be better.
