FOREX.com charges no commissions or transaction fees, while still offering free access to real-time quotes, news, charts, research, and more. The cost of trading is built into the bid/ask spread. Also, dealing spreads as low as 3 pips (.0003) are available in currency trading. Even at a penny ($.01), the bid/ask on a stock trade is 30x wider, in addition to the brokerage commission.

Up to 200:1 Leverage
With more buying power, you can increase your total return on investment with less cash outlay. Of course, increasing leverage increases risk. With $1,000 cash in a margin account that allows 200:1 leverage (.5%), you can trade up to $200,000 in notional value.
