Global Forex Introduces Base 10

Global Forex Introduces Base 10

Global Forex Trading has introduced a new Base 10 forex trading product that offers traders an alternative to forex mini accounts, which are typically 1/10th the size of the standard trading lot size of 100,000 units. Base 10 Trading allows traders to structure trades according to risk tolerance levels by having the ability to adjust the size of their trading lot to any multiple of 10. Variable lot sizes reduce the margin requirement, freeing up more trading capital, and allowing traders to take additional positions or hold positions longer. With Base 10 Trading, each lot can be set to any multiple of 10 -- from 10 to 99,990.
