If so, what are the key differences between retailing and institutional trading? Having certain tools or information that you gives the advantage?

fxapex Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Retail trading is where people trade and in institutional trading is where Companies trade, well if you are confused to take it as career, then continue to do it as a part time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amount of deposit is first and main difference. For example institutional account on Hotforex requires 40000$ deposit min. But you get special platform, leverage, very tight straight from LP spreads, special execution etc. Professional trading platform in other words.

sendong Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 when you say retail its for people like us trying to make a decent 1000 dollars a month, institutional are on a totally different level. that 40k is just a minimum, usually traders or corps trade 6-7 digit accounts.

dante Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 indeed, when talking with the pro, the most discuss thing are the worst case come at first, the DrawDown! I fully aware, and avoid any DD above 20-30%. most noobs just forget a 50% account loss means we already broke, they didn't realize it required 100% profit to get back balance into initial deposit. while I learn this simple fact hard way. success of a Forex trader directly depend on his or her trading skilled, experience, knowledge and determination. On the other hand, a good trading broker is another important point for a trader to be a regular profitable Forex trader. by the way, after joining in Forex, I try many brokers to find a suitable trading condition match my trading system, it's almost a years i held my ecn account with Armada Markets which ensure best trading facilities. honestly, their trading environment are friendly use for any trading strategies.

SurtiTrader Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Retail Trading can be considered as the trading of individuals. They buy and sell Securties for their personal account, while Institutional Trading means the trading done by a group, organisation, or institituion. They buy and sell securities for the accounts they manage for a group or institution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sendong Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 well i guess we would agree that retail or institutional trading both have their pros and cons, and it depends on the traders where he/she would find her forte! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinjiren Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The difference should be one person and one group, normally group trading are more professional, just like PAMM account, because my time is not enough, so invest on hotforex PAMM account and the funds managers should perform better than me! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajesh Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Traders, who has huge trading capital as like 50,000+$ they are the institutional trader. Besides, which traders are trading here below 10,000$ they are familiar as retail trader. To be honest, I am a retail trader even my trading capital is below 1000$. But, luckily I get true ECN trading facilities into my live account from TradingBanks even though my trading capital is very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Edwards Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 There are many differences between retail trading and institutional trading. Retail trading means trading with small investment of a single person. Institution means a company. In retail trading traders use his own investment. But when it is about institution trading there must be investment of many people as it is a company. I am a retail trader. I trade with AAFX. This broker one of the best in this market. It gives fund security up to 20k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
