UK execution-only retail broker Barclays Stockbrokers has launched Barclays Margin FX - a retail foreign exchange trading platform - in partnership with FXCM.

New York-listed FXCM, started in 1999, is an online provider of foreign exchange trading and related services to retail and institutional customers.

The trading platform provides access to 50 currency pairs with features including live streaming, neutral prices with speed and certainty of execution and no intervention from a dealing desk. Trades can be executed directly from charts and using one-click trading.

Users will also have access to Barclays’ and FXCM’s research offerings, including sentiment data, trading signals, educational video content, training and tutorial videos.

“We have chosen to create a partnership with FXCM in response to client demand for enhanced retail FX investment capabilities in terms of functionality, flexibility, research and market insight,” said Paul Inkster, head of product, Barclays Stockbrokers, in a statement.
