XPRESSTRADE OFFERS MINI-FX ACCOUNT FOR CURRENCY TRADERS

XpressTrade will offer a mini-foreign exchange (FX) account developed to introduce traders to currency trading while minimizing risk. Instead of trading standard, full-size currency lots (100,000 units), mini-FX traders will buy and sell lots a tenth the size (10,000 currency units). The mini-FX account is for those new to online currency trading and those with limited trading capital. The smaller lot sizes, with smaller tick values, means that risk is substantially reduced.
