Integrity, Intelligence and Ability.  At work for you. 

First Capital Trading, LLC offers a professional and disciplined approach to discretionary foreign exchange trading.  We manage accounts on behalf of clients offering absolute transparency and liquidity.  Our small dynamic team combines experience, dedication and enthusiasm to achieve its goals.  This approach compliments our trading system and provides a sound solution to investment management.

Our professionals have many years of experience and expertise in the foreign exchange markets which have been gained with reputable companies based in the city of London.

With a unique forex trading model, combined with stringent risk management controls specifically designed to benefit the intermediate and/or higher category customer, we aim to yield above average returns over the medium to long term.

Our objective is to preserve the capital value of our clients’ investment producing above average returns while maintaining strong discipline. With a proven track record and experienced team of managers, we believe we can help you to maximise returns and become an invaluable addition to your investment portfolio.

There are many reasons why we trade the foreign exchange markets. The most influential factors are:

1. Forex is the largest and most liquid market in the world with trades valued at approximately US$3.2 trillion per day.
2. The market operates 24 hours per day giving us unmatchable execution opportunities.
3. Trading is very cost efficient with no, or very small, commissions on dealing.
4. Transparency.
5. In addition to the 7 most commonly traded currency pairs there are a plethora of combinations we can capitalise on.
6. Years of experience mean we understand our product and the intricacies of trading it.

To achieve our objectives we use a unique trading system that utilises technical analysis to signal trading opportunities. The basis of the trading strategy is trend following, our strategy enables us to identify trending markets in their early stage and take full advantage their cycle. Trading signals are generated when a few of our own specifically developed indicators are met and trades are usually short to medium term. Although the system is signal based, our fund managers are constantly monitoring open positions and market conditions.

Our discretionary trading program has been running since January 2005 with an unleveraged return of 36% in its first year. On 1:1 leverage (unleveraged) we use 1 times the amount of your investment to trade the forex markets.

As with all investments, there is a balance between risk and return. The 1:1 risk will be relatively low and therefore the return proportionately so. However, trading on 3:1 leverage provides the investor with the opportunity to further maximise their investment if their risk appetite and investment objective allows.

In addition to our stringent risk and money management policies all trades are supported by limit and stop orders to manage predetermined risks and preserve the capital growth of the portfolio.
