Spreads from 0.1 pips on DMA · 1:2000 max leverage
Why FX at IEXS
The market is deep.Your access should be too.
Retail FX pricing is usually a photograph of the real market — a single quote widened for margin and shown to you after the fact. Our aggregation layer gives you the market itself: multiple Tier 1 makers competing in one book, best bid and offer surfacing automatically, depth visible on DMA accounts before you commit a single lot.
Execution happens metres from the liquidity providers, inside Equinix NY3 and LD4. The shorter the physical path, the less time the market has to move against a resting order — that is not marketing, it is physics.

Pair Universe
From EURUSD to theedges of the map.
01
Majors
EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, AUDUSD, USDCAD, NZDUSD — the G10 complex where the world's liquidity concentrates. Tightest spreads of the book, deepest size at every level, and the pairs where our 0.1-pip DMA pricing shows its teeth.
02
Minors & Crosses
EURGBP, EURJPY, GBPJPY, AUDNZD and the rest of the non-USD lattice. Trade relative strength between two economies directly, without legging through the dollar and paying two spreads to express one view.
03
Emerging Markets
Selected EM pairs for macro expression — carry, politics and commodity cycles priced in real time. Wider spreads and sharper moves are structural here; position sizing matters twice as much.
04
Execution Choice
Standard routes STP through the aggregated feed from 1 pip with leverage to 1:2000. DMA opens the raw book from 0.1 pips with visible depth. Same instruments, same infrastructure — pick the interface that matches how you trade.

Cost Anatomy
What a tradeactually costs.
One standard lot of EURUSD at a 0.1-pip spread costs one dollar of spread to enter — at 1 pip, ten. Hold it past rollover and swap applies each night, tripled on Wednesday. That is the entire cost model: no ticket fees, no platform rent, nothing discovered later.
FAQ
Forex questions,answered straight.
Why did my spread widen during a news release?
Because the market's did. Around major releases, liquidity providers pull size and widen quotes; an aggregated feed reflects that honestly rather than freezing a fictional price. Spreads normalise within seconds of the book refilling.
Standard or DMA for FX?
If you trade a few discretionary positions, Standard's simplicity and 1:2000 leverage serve well. If you trade larger volumes or run systems, DMA's raw spreads and visible depth pay for themselves quickly.
Is 1:2000 leverage dangerous?
Leverage is a tool that scales both directions. Used to reduce locked-up margin on a small, well-stopped position, it is efficient; used to maximise position size, it is how accounts die. Negative balance protection caps the catastrophe, not the loss.
Do you trade against your clients?
No. Orders route STP to the aggregated book or interact with it directly on DMA. Our revenue is the transparent spread/commission — we have no position against yours.
