Why you need a forex account to trade
Photographer is my life / getty images
A foreign exchange account, or forex account, is used to hold and trade foreign currencies. Typically, you open an account, deposit money denominated in your home country currency, and then buy and sell currency pairs.
Your purpose, of course, is to make money on your trades. Unfortunately, the majority of beginning forex traders lose money; they generally spend less than four months reaching the point where they have lost so much that they will close their trading account.
It doesn't mean that the forex market is a scam, as some critics have maintained, but forex scams do abound. Making money on highly leveraged currency trades is harder than it looks and, at a minimum, requires developing expertise that many novice traders fail to acquire.
How you open a forex trading account
The requirements for opening a forex account have become simpler since the growth of online forex trading. Today, opening a forex account is almost as simple as opening a bank account.
First, of course, you'll need to find a forex broker. All retail forex trading goes through and is managed by a brokerage. Some may be specialized forex brokers, or they might be the same brokerage you use for stock market investing and trading.
You'll need to fill out a brief questionnaire about your financial knowledge and trading intentions. You'll also need to provide an ID, and the minimum deposit your forex account institution requires. That's it. You're now free to trade.
Incidentally, many forex brokers will take your credit or debit card in lieu of cash. So, you really don't need to deposit any money at all—not that this is a good idea. If you don't have the cash now, how will you pay for losses later? Credit card debt carries high-interest rates.
Forex brokers
One of the aspects of currency trading that makes it riskier than trading in the stock market is that the entire currency trading industry is either lightly regulated or—as with some trades—not regulated at all. A consequence of that is that unless you look carefully into the reputation of the forex broker you select, you may be defrauded. There are two ways of avoiding this.
The first is to avoid specialized forex traders entirely and to trade with a general stock brokerage active in the U.S. And therefore regulated by the U.S. Securities and exchange commission (SEC).
The other way to avoid inadvertently connecting with a fraudulent broker is to proceed very carefully when considering a specialized forex brokerage. Only open an account with a U.S. Broker with a membership in the national futures association (NFA). Use the NFA's background affiliation information center to verify the brokerage and its compliance record.
Even then, it's a good idea to choose a large, well-known forex broker like forex capital markets (FXCM). FXCM—like almost all of the largest U.S. Forex brokers—offers a free practice account where you can try out potential trades without risking your capital. Some other well-known U.S. Forex brokers are citifx PRO, an affiliate of citibank, and thinkorswim. Don't be put off by the cute name, thinkorswim is a division of tdameritrade.
Before finalizing your search, compare commission rates between brokers. Transaction costs are an important factor in the profitability of trading activity.
Forex account
What is a forex account?
Forex accounts give investors and traders the ability to trade all major currency pairs and some emerging market pairs.
How a forex account works
A forex account is a type of account that a forex trader opens with a retail forex broker. Forex accounts come in many forms, but the first that is opened is often the forex demo account.
From forex demo account to forex account
After the trader has tried out demo accounts with a few different dealers, a funded account would be the next step. Mini accounts, full accounts and managed accounts are the most common types of funded accounts. Mini accounts are similar to full accounts except that currency is traded in lots of 10,000 rather than 100,000. This allows for lower mandatory initial deposits and greater customization of risk management.
As the number of forex brokers have grown, the lower the cost of managing accounts has become. Most will have no initial set-up fee and charge the user per trade, which will often be determined by the size of the trade. For example, someone who wishes to trade a notional amount of 1,000,000 units will pay a higher fee than a beginner who is trading in units of 10,000.
Forex accounts—which one to open
It is important for currency traders to consider what they want to get out of their accounts before deciding on the type to open. Demo accounts and mini accounts are great for the retail forex trader to learn a profitable system and get used to the broker's execution methods. For currency speculators who don't want to trade themselves, a managed account may be a better option.
Depending on the type of forex account, some may give the trader capabilities to trade other products such as forex options and forward contracts.

How much does FX trading cost?
Margins
When you spread bet and trade cfds you do so with leverage – meaning you can win, or lose, a significant amount more than your initial deposit – called your margin. Though not actually a cost to you, the margin you pay makes a big difference to the affordability of your forex trade.
Spreads
Your key payment for trading forex is the spread – the difference between the buy and the sell price – our charge for executing your trade. We work to keep our spreads among the lowest in the business.

You may be new to forex, so a demo account is the ideal choice to test your trading potential. It allows you to trade with virtual money, without exposing you to any risk, as your gains and losses are simulated. Once you have tested your trading strategies, learned about market moves and how to place orders, you can take the next step to open a trading account with real money.
What is a forex trading account?
A forex account at XM is a trading account that you will hold and that will work similarly to your bank account, but with the difference that it is primarily issued with the purpose of trading on currencies.
Forex accounts at XM can be opened in micro, standard or XM zero formats as shown in the table above.
Please note that forex (or currency) trading is available on all XM platforms.
In summary, your forex trading account includes
- 1. Access to the XM members area
- 2. Access to the corresponding platform(s)
Similarly to your bank, once you register a forex trading account with XM for the first time, you will be required to go through a straightforward KYC (know your customer) process, which will allow XM to make sure that the personal details you have submitted are correct and ensure the safety of your funds and your account details.
By opening a forex account, you will be automatically emailed your login details, which will give you access to the XM members area.
The XM members area is where you will manage the functions of your account, including depositing or withdrawing funds, viewing and claiming unique promotions, checking your loyalty status, checking your open positions, changing leverage, accessing support and accessing the trading tools offered by XM.
Our offerings within the clients’ members area are provided and constantly enriched with more and more functionalities and therefore giving our clients more and more flexibility to perform changes or additions to their accounts at any given time, without needing assistance from their personal account managers.
Your trading account login details will correspond to a login on the trading platform which matches your type of account and is ultimately where you will be performing your trades. Any deposits/withdrawals or other changes to settings you make from the XM members area will reflect on your corresponding trading platform.
What is a multi-asset trading account?
A multi-asset trading account at XM is an account that works similarly to your bank account, but with the difference that it is issued with the purpose of trading currencies, stock indices cfds, stock cfds, as well as cfds on metals and energies.
Multi-asset trading accounts at XM can be opened in micro, standard or XM zero formats as you can view in the table above.
Please note that multi-asset trading is available only on MT5 accounts, which also allows you access to the XM webtrader.
In summary, your multi-asset trading account includes
- 1. Access to the XM members area
- 2. Access to the corresponding platform(s)
- 3. Access to the XM webtrader
Similarly to your bank, once you register a multi-asset trading account with XM for the first time, you will be requested to go through a straightforward KYC (know your customer) process, which will allow XM to make sure that the personal details you have submitted are correct and ensure the safety of your funds and your account details. Please note that if you already maintain a different XM account, you will not have to go through the KYC validation process as our system will automatically identify your details.
By opening a trading account, you will be automatically emailed your login details that will give you access to the XM members area.

Who should choose MT4?
MT4 is the predecessor of the MT5 trading platform. At XM, the MT4 platform enables trading on currencies, cfds on stock indices, as well as cfds on gold and oil, but it does not offer trading on stock cfds. Our clients who do not wish to open an MT5 trading account can continue using their MT4 accounts and open an additional MT5 account at any time.
Access to the MT4 platform is available for micro, standard or XM zero as per the table above.
Who should choose MT5?
Clients who choose the MT5 platform have access to a wide range of instruments ranging from currencies, stock indices cfds, gold and oil cfds, as well as stock cfds.

Access to the MT5 platform is available for micro, standard or XM zero as shown in the table above.
What is the main difference between MT4 trading accounts and MT5 trading accounts?
The main difference is that MT4 does not offer trading on stock cfds.

How to manage your trading accounts?
Deposits, withdrawals or any other functions related to any of your trading accounts can be handled in the XM members area.

Best managed forex accounts

Want to jump straight to the answer? The best forex broker for most people is definitely FOREX.Com
Some knowledge of the forex market’s intricacies is necessary before you can successfully operate as a trader.
Even with the best forex broker for beginners and access to the best forex trading courses, it could take an extended period of time of study and preparation to develop a viable and consistently profitable trading strategy.
You can participate in the forex market without actively trading by funding a managed forex account, similar to how you might invest in mutual funds to gain access to the stock market.
A managed forex account allows you to indirectly take part in the forex market by employing market professionals to trade your money for you.

Table of contents [ hide ]
What’s a managed forex account?
Unlike a regular forex trading account, where you make all the trading decisions and actively buy and sell currency pairs, a managed forex account consists of a trading account where a trader or money manager trades on your behalf.
This type of account has higher costs and fees than a standard forex trading account and requires a higher minimum deposit in most cases.
A money manager deals with market logistics very similarly in a forex managed account compared to traditional equity and bond investment accounts. Nevertheless, the account remains completely under your control, and the money manager’s only access to your account is the ability to trade in it.
The money manager cannot make deposits or withdraw funds from the account. Remember, making a profit in a managed account is not guaranteed due to the volatility in the forex market, so all managed accounts should provide a disclaimer stating that you can lose money.
Most clients give their money manager complete control over transactions made in their managed forex account, although you can often instruct the money manager on the strategies and trading signals you would like them to consider as they trade on your behalf. This effectively takes you out of the trading picture so you can avoid the emotions and psychological issues that accompany winning and losing trades.
Remember, not all forex brokers are created equal, so carefully consider your needs and broker features before you open an account. Furthermore, if you wish to have someone else manage your forex trading account, be sure they have adequate training and infrastructure at their disposal as well as a respectable track record as a trader.
Keep in mind that once you open a managed account, account managers will generally have minimum time and deposit requirements and sometimes charge penalties for early fund withdrawal. Minimum deposits for these accounts can also be considerably higher than for a standard forex account.
Is a managed forex account right for me?
How involved do you want to be in the forex market? If you want full personal involvement and complete control over your forex positions and capital, then a managed account might not be for you.
On the other hand, if you prefer to have a professional trade for you and risk your money according to their established trading methods and/or software, then a managed forex account may be best. When you open your managed account, the trader you hire should screen you to determine your risk tolerance level and take note of specific strategy instructions you may have.
Managed forex accounts are great for you if…
Many people simply don’t have the time, experience or disposition to trade in the forex market. Paying attention is a full-time commitment, but career or family obligations can distract and divert your attention. A managed forex account gives you the freedom to pursue other activities that you otherwise might not be able to.
- Prefer to let someone else do the trading
If you have ever traded in the forex market, you have an idea of the directional uncertainty most traders suffer and the notable volatility currency pairs can exhibit. Know your limitations if you have a problem taking losses and opt to employ a trading professional instead.
- Don’t have the psychological make-up of a trader
Some people lack the psychological personality types best suited for trading. For example, if you can never admit when you’re wrong, holding onto a losing position could wipe out your entire trading account. Another example would be a predisposition to overtrading because you find trading exciting. However, trading excess can also take its toll financially, physically and mentally. Rather than risk trading yourself, you may want to find a good account manager.
They might not be a fit if…
If you have trading experience and prefer to stay in complete control of your trading account and the allocation of your assets, then you would probably not be happy with a managed forex account.
- You lack enough risk capital
Minimum deposits for a pooled managed account usually start at $2,000 and individually-managed accounts start with a $10,000 deposit. This could deter some traders from opting for a managed account.
- You don’t want to go through the process required for opening a managed forex account
Getting a decent account manager requires some research and considerably more paperwork than trading your own account. It also involves signing a limited power of attorney agreement (LPOA) that is a legal document and shows that you have authorized the account manager to trade on your behalf.
Keep in mind that you can still lose money in a managed account, depending on the money manager, risk level, market activity and other conditions of your agreement. You should, therefore, check track records and testimonials for any account managers you consider and make sure that they have a good reputation within the trading community.
Features of a great managed forex account
A great managed forex trading account will show consistent overall profitability, as well as a low maximum drawdown level. The maximum drawdown level indicates the maximum loss of capital experienced in the trading account from its peak over the history of the account.
The maximum drawdown formula
(equity high net value – equity low net value) / equity high net value
As an example of maximum drawdown, let’s assume you begin your account with $10,000, which then increases to $20,000, decreases to $9,000, increases to $21,000, falls to $6,000 and then increases to $22,000.
In this case, the equity high net value would be $22,000, while the equity low net value would be $6,000. This would give you a maximum drawdown of: ($22,000 – $6,000) / $22,000 = 72%, which would be considered high. The wide swings in the account’s value reflect the high maximum drawdown and suggest a risky investment.
The lower the maximum drawdown over time, the less risk the funds in the account have been exposed to. When you consider different account managers, the maximum drawdown level of the account statements they provide as evidence of their track record carries considerable weight.
Ideally, a time frame of three to five years for an account under management would give you a clear indication of the managed account’s maximum drawdown.
Other features of managed accounts
- What kind of return on investment (ROI) can you expect on your money?
- The type of managed account model to be used:
- Percentage allocation management module (PAMM),
- Lot allocation management module (LAMM), or
- Multi-account management module (MAMM)
- The type of trading and trading system the manager employs
- Are derivatives part of the trading strategy?
- Which type of signal or automated trading software will be used, if any, and what risk parameters does the software employ?
The way to find the best forex broker for managed accounts is to find an account manager you want to work with and then ask them which well-regulated broker he prefers to use.
If you already have a broker in mind, he may even have account managers they can recommend. Look over the account management agreement, past account statements showing an acceptable performance and the manager’s prospectus for their managed accounts, if any.
Get a sense of minimum deposit, drawdown policy, withdrawal limitations and penalties, profit-sharing parameters and risk levels for their different managed accounts. A prospectus should also include contact and background information for the manager who oversees your account.
The best forex brokers with managed accounts
To keep your money safe, decide on an established forex broker to open a managed forex account and look for an individual account manager or group you feel is qualified to trade your account.
The brokers listed below all permit managed accounts, though doing your own research makes sense if you want to get a good return from their manager’s activities.
Based in cyprus, FXTM is regulated by the cyprus securities and exchange commission (cysec), the U.K. Financial conduct authority (FCA) and the international financial services commission (IFSC) in belize. FXTM offers clients a PAMM managed account and also offers copy trading.
Hotforex
Headquartered in mauritius, hotforex is regulated by cysec, the FCA, the south african financial conduct services authority (FSCA) and the dubai financial services authority. Hotforex offers clients a PAMM account with a search engine to customize your managed accounts’ performance by filtering strategies, current ranking, PAMM strategy name, maximum drawdown and minimum deposit.
Alpari international
One of the largest brands in the industry, mauritius-based alpari has oversight from cysec and the belize international financial services commission.
This broker has over 20 years of experience and offers a long list of PAMM accounts that you can choose from. Alpari’s list of PAMM accounts has both conservative and aggressive account managers and includes both maximum drawdown and capitalization information for each manager.
Final thoughts
If you want to participate and make money in the forex market but you don’t want to trade yourself, then a managed forex account could be a perfect fit.
Keep in mind that, in addition to significantly higher minimum deposit requirements, you can be charged anywhere from 15% to 40% (or more) of your profits. You may also have to pay brokerage and additional manager fees, depending on the account specifics.
On the other hand, if you lack sufficient risk capital for a managed account or prefer to trade your own money, then you may be better off trading in a regular forex trading account, especially if you already have a viable trading strategy.
In addition to privacy, trading in a standard forex account gives you much more flexibility and has significantly lower costs than a managed forex account.

What is a forex managed accounts?
A managed forex account is where a professional trader/money manager manages the trading on the clients’ behalf. The account is made up of a personalized portfolio owned by a single investor. The portfolio and account is handled accordingly to the investors needs.
An investor may advise the money manager on strategies and signals to look for while trading on his behalf. An investor may do this to take themselves out of the equation and trade without the psychology and emotions that come with wins and losses. On the other hand, some clients simply choose to let the brokerage/money manager trade the account based on their own systems and strategies.
Forex managed accounts can be compared to traditional investment accounts of equities and bonds, in the way that an investment manager handles the trading logistics. In no instance can a money manager withdraw or add funds to the account, they are granted trade only access to the account, and the investor has full control over their account. Money managers charge a fee or commission for managed accounts, so it is important to research a variety of options, as their prices can vary greatly.
How does a managed forex account work?
For an investor to have a managed trading account, they must first open a trading account at a reputable brokerage firm of their choice. Then allocate the necessary amount of funds for a managed account. The money manager has limited access to the account and operates on a trade only basis. The investor remains in full control of the account and its deposits and withdrawal processes.
Now, if a money manager does not have any control over the investors money, how can they conduct trades? Well, upon setting up a managed account, both the investor and money manager must sign a document called a limited power of attorney agreement (LPOA). This is an agreement for both parties, allowing the trader to trade on an investors account on their behalf, without needing to transfer the investors funds to the traders account. This agreement provides a high level of security, control, and transparency that’s comfortable for the investor.
With the signing of this agreement, the managed account gets placed in what’s called a “master block”, and as stated before, the investor continues to have full control of their account. They can check the balance, deposit or withdraw funds, monitor trade activity, and even revoke the LPOA agreement at any time if they are not happy with the money manager. One thing they can not do is conduct their own trading on the account, unless they revoke the LPOA agreement.
Regarding the money managers aspect of managed forex accounts. They may trade for many investors all from a single master account using PAMM, LAMM, or MAM software and technology. These technical procedures are integrated into most reputable brokerages and various online trading platforms, making it possible for traders to manage investor accounts.
Account types
Investing through a managed account has been around for a long time. In fact, it’s been around for as long as investing. With that in mind, there have generally been 3 types of managed forex accounts that prevail- individual, pooled, and more recently; varieties of PAMM accounts.
Individual account
This type of account is the most simple and standard type of account when you think of a managed account. The account managed is a segregated account where the money manager makes all the trades on your behalf. The traders’ decisions are based solely on your instruction or desire, he/she is trading for you and only you.
Their decisions will be based on your risk level and whether you provide any specific strategy or guidance. Since there are no additional traders’ funds involved in this account, the minimum deposit may be quite high- exceeding $10,000. For this reason, and the fact the manager is trading this account individually for you, you will want to ensure a professional and competent money manager is chosen. A great deal of research and client testimonials will be beneficial when going this route.
Pooled account
This type of account is very similar too mutual funds, in where many investors pool their money together in a separate account and share the profits after fees and expenses. With pooled accounts, there are often a variety of pools to choose from. Each may be offering different risk levels, minimum deposits, investment strategies, currencies traded, and fees and expenses. These types of accounts are managed for a variety of investors, requiring you to choose or be advised on which pool suits your needs.
Unlike individual accounts, the manager is trading for numerous investor desires. To help determine an account for you, each fund will have years of past performance for review. A main benefit of pooled accounts is the lower minimum deposit required to enter, being as low as $2000. Although, there are often minimum participation requirements upon entering a pool fund. These are all factors you need to consider before diving in.
PAMM, LAMM, & MAMM accounts
These types of accounts use sophisticated technology to distribute profits, losses, and fees based on percentages of funds each investor has involved in the master account used for trading. These account methods are relatively new in comparison with the other two listed here, and offer the satisfaction of dealing directly with the broker of your choice in a secure and transparent way.
It’s similar to the mirror and copy trading features some brokers offer, because of the automation and technicality. Although, it still has more similarities to a managed account. All these types of accounts are basically pool accounts, in the sense that numerous investors pool their money together and reap the profits or losses of the money manager.
What should you look for in a managed forex account?
There are numerous things to consider when opening a managed forex account and you must always be careful when selecting a money manager. You need to use due diligence ensuring the money manager is reputable and trustworthy. The forex industry is known to have some notable scammers in the past, so extra precautions must be made to guarantee safe and secure management.
Not only do you need to take precaution when choosing your money manager, but also in the type of account that’s suitable for your needs. Below are some things to look for when choosing a managed forex account.
- The risk level of an account or manager is something to consider. When trading with an individual account, you want to choose a money manager who’s trading style and history is at the level of risk you’re comfortable with. You can advise your money manager on how to trade, but by choosing one that trades with your level of risk already can make all the difference. As well, with trading accounts, you want to choose a pool with your appropriate risk level and trading method.
- Another important factor are the fees, expenses, and minimum deposits involved with a trading account. Many firms will charge performance fees to your account. These fees can vary greatly based on the account type, and risk level of such an account. These rates can range from anywhere between 10%-35% and some cases even higher. These rates are in accordance to a principle called the “high water mark”. This protocol is applied to your account if at the end of each month your net balance is higher than a certain percentage. If this is the case, your account will be deducted the performance fee which is a certain percentage. Some brokerages may also charge an account management fee on top of the other fees for following a specific formula. Also in some cases, there can be a fee for the termination of account in the event of transferring all funds.
- An important factor when choosing a reputable managed forex account is the availability of past performance history. Past performance may not be an indicative factor of future results, but at least the history shows experience of the forex account. There should be published history of at least a few years for a reputable brokerage managed account.
How to open a managed forex account?
Opening a managed forex account is more complicated than you might think. That is why we’ve created a detailed list pertaining to the necessary steps involved. Discover the intricate process in great detail below;
- Before you make the necessary steps to opening an account, you must first determine your risk tolerance. You need to know this so you know who to look for in a money manager, you can view their track record and overall risk score. Another point that goes along with this are your goals. If you want to make higher profits in a short amount of time, high risk managed account might be the option for you.
- Spend time networking and searching for the right forex trader. There are lots of options out there, but not everyone is right for you. Use your due diligence and research, reach out, and network to find the best possible forex brokerage.
- Once you have narrowed down your list of forex traders, you need to go over each contract. Make sure you feel comfortable with everything and understand the max drawdowns, liability coverage, fees and expenses, and so on. Your due diligence is key in obtaining a successfully managed forex account.
- Again, ensure everything is up to spec with the trader your interested in. View past performance reports, client testimonials, reviews, and anything you can dig up on the internet.
- Once you have completed the steps above you are ready to select a forex trader to manage your account. You’ll need to complete and sign the necessary documents, and contracts including the signing of a limited power of attorney agreement (LPOA).
- The next step is to receive your account number and transfer funds into the account. The account number is tied to your name, information, and your segregated trading account. Once everything is in order you can go ahead and transfer the funds, knowing you’re with a trusted and secure forex trader by following the steps above.
- Finally, you wait for the money to be transferred, and it’s complete. It really is a simple process. You can have a managed forex account up and running within a few days. Now, you can analyze your account and even learn from the trades that are being made.
