Gary Thomson, FXOpen UK Chief Operating Officer, commented: “These tighter spreads have been introduced to save traders money and with 13% of price updates resulting in a choice price in EURUSD, FXOpen is the ideal venue to execute high frequency and scalping trading strategies.”

“FXOpen continues to bring our clients tight spreads and excellent execution, with more improvements to liquidity planned over the summer. We look forward to updating our clients about these exciting developments.”

The broker has recently its already vast CFD product offering with the launch of 33 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as the product increasingly takes a critical role in the investment strategy of retail and professional traders.

As contracts for difference products (CFDs), these ETFs provide exposure to their market price and volatility, which can be maximized by raising the leverage ratio. FXOpen offers a ratio of up to 1:5, which is identical to that offered to its stock CFD products.

The product offering is available via FXOpen’s trading platform, TickTrader, which has been made available to all clients since mid-2021 after a successful one-year trial.

Its main functions include backtesting with algorithmic trading systems optimization function and customized technical indicators and trading systems development.
