Yaps about how wonderful they are - most of which is quite true as per experience. For instance, their frontdesk communications are excellent providing practically instant access to a knowledgeable agent; the algo department is very helpful showing you how to work the API (and even fixing things); my assigned manager, Jose Florez has been wonderful over many years and continues to be so!

• Spreads and Margins Lists the spreads and margins of different instruments in real time.

  Margin is ability to “enter into trades larger than your account balance and trade without depositing the full value of the trade that you wish to open” and is a form of security against losses incurred (you can’t lose more than you have in your account). The margin needed is calculated using “the leverage limit associated with both your account type and the instrument you wish to trade”. Details of margin rates and leverage ratios are provided here with choice of currency.
