Account Types
Starting from the basics depending on which forex company you decide to trade with you should understand that account type offerings vary as some forex companies offer a range of accounts addressing all major trading audiences in terms of budget where other forex companies address traders with generally larger starting budgets. Usual account types at the majority of forex companies range from Micro and go all the way to Executive which realistically vary in terms of service and offerings.

Depending on what type of credit card you use or what kind of electronic wallet you feel more comfortable with using we would suggest that you choose a forex company that can cater to your prerequisites.
If the company you are thinking of issuing a forex trading account with does not really cooperate with any serious credit card processing and might offer instant execution types of funding like Western Union or Moneygram we would advice you to research further as although both of the above mentioned money transfer companies are very much reputable they do not address business purposes and cannot be kept responsible in cases of fraud or inconvenience.

A larger variety of offerings allows the traders to engage in more opportunities to make money from markets which are oppositely affected from one another and therefore diversify in to a range of products and moreover be extended more opportunities to acquire a profit. Offerings of instruments amongst forex companies vary as more instruments means complexity which in many cases smaller forex companies tend to avoid.
