Currency brokerages

What are currency brokerages?

Currency brokers, unlike forex brokers, are brokers that enable customers to make foreign exchange BANK TRANSFERS (mostly to a recipient overseas).

The confusion

These type of currency brokers, although offering derivatives such as FX options, Swaps and Forwards are not going to allow trading / speculation.

Their prime objective is to help small businesses and investors get a better FX fee than with the bank, but don’t want to be dealing (and aren’t authorised) for speculation.

The KYC process is extremely meticulous and after booking a trade, it may even get tougher. Somewhat of a similar experience as you would expect with a bank, just more online oriented.

MadeToTrade is not dealing with such brokerages at all – if you want to find a heap of information about the topic head over to MoneyTransferComparion’s Currency Brokers page.

 


 

 

More about MadeToTrade.net: The site was established in 2012, covering everything relating to trading and high-risk investment. We love covering forex trading and CFD trading. We enjoy covering the up and coming domain of binary options, as well as spread betting. We like helping our users understand the fine differences between these branches of investment / gaming (depends on how you look at it), and we want to assist readers with finding the most suitable platforms for their requirements and needs.

This is how the site used to look like back in 2012, when it was hosted on Google’s blog platform, blogspot:

Questrade margin trade

Questrade is one of the leading brokers in Canada which offers a margin trading account among its various functionalities.

The broker offers a DIY RRSP account, TFSA, non-registered account, and has positioned itself in Canada as a low-fee discount brokerages which appeals to passive ETF investors who want to pay as little as possible per transaction. Questrade started offering a margin trade account in the past 2 years and offers its customers with an easy reallocation of funds from other Questrade accounts into the Questrade margin trade account.

The company offers the following leverage (CAD)

  • Stocks under $1.5 – no leverage
  • Socks $1.5-$1.74 – 20% leverage
  • Stocks $1.75 – $1.99 – 40% leverage
  • Stocks or short positions for stocks $2.00+ – 50% leverage
  • Gold and silver can be leverage at 80% and 70% respectively.

The broker also offers options trade at 4 different levels which require different minimum account balance.

Margin calls: If your equity balance falls below the total margin requirement, you should know that Questrade will be eligible to liquidate assets from your account until you are back above the total margin requirements. To increase your buying Strength, Questrade started “Margin Power” which connects your saving accounts to your trading accounts, but we don’t recommend you’ll do that.

Currency exchanges are not automatic and interest rate differential is charged upon currency exchanges.
