Established Broker You Can Trust

There is no way to eliminate market risk in forex transactions. However, traders should not have to worry about the stability and financial integrity of their broker. That is where the benefit of trading with MF Global FX comes in. As part of MF Global, MF Global FX offers its clients the reliability and financial strength that most other brokers cannot rival.

 

MF Global FX is a division of MF Global Canada Co. All client funds are held in Canadian bank accounts in the name of MF Global Canada Co.

 

MF Global Canada Co. is a member of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC). Eligible client accounts held by IIROC members are insured against dealer insolvency, within specified limits, by the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF). For the specific conditions governing client eligibility, determination of covered losses and the limits of coverage, please visit www.cipf.ca

Tight Spreads and Rapid Execution

MF Global FX offers competitive spreads and provides rapid execution from real-time, two-way quotes. Subject to slippage under volatile market conditions*, all quotes shown on the MF Global FX Trading Station II platform are the prices where the trader can buy/sell the quoted currency, rather than vague indications of where the market is trading.

 

MF Global FX never requests the size of a trader's potential order, or which side of the market is being traded, before giving a bid/ask quote. Dealers from some other firms may first determine whether the trader is a buyer or a seller, and then vary the price to increase profit on the transaction. MF Global FX price transparency ensures that traders receive a fair price. Trading from real-time streaming quotes significantly reduces slippage and enhances trading performance.

 

The execution of all Market, Stop Loss, Limit and Entry orders are on a best-effort basis. Please note that the placing of "Stop Loss" or "Stop Limit" orders intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be effective because market conditions or potential hardware, software and Internet connection failure may make it impossible to execute such orders.

 

Order execution and trade confirmation are immediate under normal market conditions. Please review the relevant (Trading Station or MT4) Execution Risk Disclosure of the platform you select. All quotes and trades are subject to the terms and conditions of the Client Agreement accessible from this website.

 

* Trader can set slippage tolerance with a Market Range order

MF Global FX clients can trade without undue worry about slow execution, freezing and server crashes even during periods of heavy volume. Order execution and trade confirmation are immediate under normal market conditions.

 

The MF Global FX Trading Station II platform is not only robust, but also intuitive and user-friendly. All relevant trading information is displayed on one concise trading screen. MF Global FX feeds real-time executable prices to clients and updates P/L on all open and closed positions, account balances, risk management and other information, in real-time with each price change. Traders are able to customize the user interface of the MF Global FX Trading Station II platform by changing fonts, colors, and window size and location.

 

The MF Global FX Trading Station II platform also provides full, real-time snapshots of account statements including detailed information regarding every open position, open order, margin status and generated profit/loss per trade. There is an integrated margin call feature to help monitor margin status and conduct proper risk management. Should account equity fall below margin requirements, some or all open positions may be liquidated by MF Global FX subject to the MF Global FX Margin Policy & Procedures.

 

Please refer to the various disclosure statements in the Risk Warning and the Client Agreement accessible from this website.
