The same way that banks have made money dealing in foreign exchange for decades without commissions - AVS is a primary market maker and seeks to capture a portion of the bid/ask spread (the difference between the buy and sell price). The same costs of trading apply to traditional futures trading, but there are more parties involved: the futures exchange and floor brokers profit from the bid/ask spread, while the FCM keeps the commission and shares it with any Introducing brokers. AVS does not use an exchange for forex products and therefore does not need the extra fees to be profitable where as in case of exchange based future products we charge very competitive commissions.

When deciding if to trade online, trade with a broker, perhaps follow a trading system or even trying to decide which trading platform to use, you should ask yourself a few questions:

1. Am I an experienced trader? 2. Are you looking to day-trade or longer term trade? 3. How much time do I have to follow and monitor the markets? 4. How much risk capital am I willing to start with? 5. What are your financial goals? 6. Are you looking for advice?

From years of experience we found that traders usually fall into three categories:

1.Clients who are looking to day-trade actively 2.Clients who are looking to take advantage of different commodity markets and do not have much trading experience 3.Clients who have knowledge and experience but do not have the time or the willingness to be in front of the computer the whole  day

If you fall under the category of newcomer with out much experience we suggest speaking with one of our professional licensed brokers who will be able to show you a few different options suited best o achieve your financial goals while keeping an eye on your risk capital. Until we don't know about your risk capital it is hard to advise you whether standard account is better for you or a mini account but generally we don't recommend you to open a standard account with less than USD 10000.00 although one can open it with us with as little as USD5000.
