Spot foreign currency trading involves the buying and selling of one currency for another currency for delivery within two (2) business days from transaction date. The major currencies are traded at the prevailing exchange rates involving foreign exchange contracts. Unlike the physical transactions usually done with banks or money changers, these FX contracts represent huge volumes of foreign currencies based on international standards and are traded among financial institutions based on internationally accepted trading procedures of the global financial markets. In turn the financial institutions, through agents (like PFEC), retail these FX contracts to various clients who have a perception of where the currencies are headed and would like to take advantage of the market price fluctuations for possible profits.

PFEC operates under the margin or leverage system trading. Specifically, clients, to be able to trade in the Foreign Currency market, must meet a certain minimum financial criteria to assure or guarantee the performance of their contracted commitment. It is a “good faith” security, which the client is required to put up prior to initiating an order to answer for the permormance of the trade. For PFEC, the minimum margin amount to be opened is US$ 20,000. The amount needed to trade one contract, worth approximately US$ 100,000, is just 1-2% of that full contract value.

With leverage trading executed through the FX trading platform of PFEC, clients are provided with the mechanism with which they can manage the risks (via stop loss orders) or limit their losses to an acceptable percentage of the current equity level. However, even if they do leverage trading, the profit potential enjoyed would be the same as that of full margin. Thus, the return on capital would be much higher for leverage trading as compared to full margin trading.

It is important to note that PFEC does not allow trading of Philippine Peso but trades the major currencies such as the Japanese Yen, British Pound, Euro, Swiss Francs, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, and New Zealand Dollar against the US Dollar.
