You would like to start your own brokerage?
As a financial company you would like to start offering Forex ?

Gallant FX has worked with companies like Gain Capital to help create the most competitive Retail Forex business in the world. We couple the immensely popular MetaTrader4 Server Platform, our extensive partner network, and our own innovative technology to start organizations off with the right foundation needed to succeed in retail forex.

If your organization is looking to diversify company assets, there is no better time then now to begin looking at the forex market. By becoming your own brokerage house and starting relationships with liquidity providers, you will be able to lower the operational costs associated with such activities.

Here is a model to consider:

FXCM, one of the largest brokers in United States, has over 100,000 clients. To run such a company you need about 150 employees.

Smaller brokers on the other hand can manage up to 2000 customers with just 10 employees. One should expect to make at least 10$ per trade per customer every day. If each customer trades just 1 time daily, with 2000 customers, they are generating approximately $20,000 a day.
