Professional forex traders must take into account both technical and fundamental indicators to produce consistent, risk-adjusted returns. At ACM, individual traders, fund managers and even banks speculate in the forex market using trading technology designed by ACM. The technology was designed to be simple enough for a beginner yet sophisticated enough to place complex contingency orders and even program customized indicators for advanced traders.

Just as with any undertaking, to reach the level of a "pro", it takes practice. For those entertaining the idea of entering into the forex market for the first time, ACM recommends opening a practice trading account. A practice account is valid for 30 days and grants a user full access to live pricing, charts and data - all with the ability to trade virtual money.

ACM does not charge commissions but is compensated through the Bid/Ask spread. Unlike other FX brokerage houses, the spread on your practice account matches the conditions based on your virtual deposit. Whether you plan to invest $2000 or $200,000, the practice account will give you an accurate representation of the spreads that will be available to you when you open a live account.
