FXST accepts clients from India who wish to trade forex.  The demand for forex trading has grown in India as many people who have seen the movements of the forex markets have seen its ability to profit regardless of which way the markets are moving. 

As India becomes more prosperous and the economy booms, wealthy Indians have taken up trading in Forex.  The increase in Expats living in India as well as second and third generation Indian Britons and Americans who have returned to India has added to this renewed interest in the currency markets.  What was once just a method to transfer money from one country to another has become a source of income for many Indians.

However the limited availability of reputable forex brokers in India, who can provide good forex spreads and fair trading conditions, still has Indian forex traders looking overseas for brokers who can provide them better deals.  ECN brokerages are rare, and clients can often find themselves in a position with a conflict of interest with their own broker.

FXST, based out of England, has people who speak Gujarati and Urdu/Hindi, offer access to regulated ECN brokers from around the world that can offer forex spreads that are amazingly tight.  Clients can compare the spreads they are currently getting from their broker, side by side, with those provided by FXST with a simple MT4 indicator which shows the live spreads in their own platform.  We remain confident that the forex spreads and conditions are unmatched by anyone.

A forex EA (Expert Adviser) also known as a forex robot, is a piece of software written for the Metatrader platform which can automate trades based on settings the user specifies. Many simple trading strategies dont require deep qualitative analysis but do require constant watching and waiting for the conditions to be correct for a trade to be placed. This can be time consuming but with an EA can be easily automated. For example, if someone has a simple trading strategy that if the MACD indicator is positive then a buy order should be placed and if negative a sell order should be, they would have to keep an eye on the MACD indicator to wait for it to cross over, however a EA can do this automatically in the background.

EA's have the advantage of being faster than humans and able to react to correct market conditions before a human would even notice. The complexity of forex EA programs vary just as much any other piece of software and depends on how many settings the user specifies. Quite often forex EA's are used for scalping strategies. Scalping is a medium to high risk strategy which takes advantage of the small movements in a currency's price. Scalpers buy and sell extremely quickly, typically within a few seconds and usually less than a minute, and use high amounts of leverage to profit from small movements of a few pips within the price action. Since this strategy requires trading frequently and quickly to make a significant profit, it is well suited to forex EAs

FXST allows all trading styles including scalping and those using forex EAs
