Yes, there is a 10k minimum required balance to obtain all our services, however those that wish to simply use our negotiated trading environment to trade on can do so with 2500.00 minimum and that will allow access to Interactive managed only. AFXI will provide both Interactive Managed (Trading Signals) and Intellicharts free of charge for all who regularly trade our minimum (10k) required account. In the past we have had traders open up accounts that where traded seldom or not at all just to retain our services for free, obviously trading with another broker. AFXI already takes the .25 and applies it to services given to all of our clients, therefore we will not pay for you to trade with us. Most of our profits are generated through our managed service, leaving very little room after covering the service we provide to our self trading clients. We have a sincere goal in creating the very best trading environment for forex traders, honest and straight forward, giving those who want it an opportunity to trade with a bank who provides real time interbank pricing, instead of a broker who calls themselves a market maker giving them the right to manipulate the feeds provided to you. Yes! this program does give us increased exposure in regards to our managed services, however our sole intentions is to provide a choice for all those who want to trade forex without getting ripped off. In lieu to all of this, we refuse to be taken advantage of, as in the past.
