Trading

Leverage allows you to increase your purchasing power. For example, our STP account offers a maximum leverage of 1:1000, meaning that if your account has $10,000, you can open positions up to 500 × 10,000 = $5,000,000.
Margin refers to the actual collateral required to open or maintain a trading position. It is not a fee or a transaction cost but a portion of your account's net value set aside as a margin deposit, which will be returned to your account balance once the position is closed.
The formula for calculating forex margin requirements is:

(Market Price × Contract Size) / Leverage = Margin Requirement

Example:
Suppose the GBP/USD quote is 1.4385. When trading one mini lot with our STP account leverage (1:1000), the margin requirement is:
(1.4385 × 10,000) / 1000 = $14.385

Note: If your account's base currency is USD and the quoted currency of the trading product is not USD, it will be converted to USD at the prevailing exchange rate when opening the position.

The platform also provides a Margin Calculator to help you determine your margin level.
A margin call is a notification issued by the broker when the trader's account balance falls below the margin requirement. This prevents the trader’s positions from being forcefully liquidated due to insufficient funds. Therefore, the minimum deposit standard is set above the margin call requirement. If your account balance falls below the margin call level, you will receive a notification to add funds to maintain your positions. The margin call level is set at 80%.
When your account’s net asset value reaches or falls below 40% of the margin level, the forced liquidation threshold is triggered. Once triggered, we will start closing your most loss-making positions first to prevent further losses.

Margin Level = (Net Equity / Used Margin) × 100%
Overnight interest is automatically calculated by the MT5 platform. To check the latest swap rates, follow these steps:

In the market watch list, select the instrument you want to check.
Right-click and select 'Specifications'.
In the contract specification window, scroll down to see 'Swap Long' and 'Swap Short', which display the swap rates per standard lot (1.00 lot).
Overnight interest is calculated at the end of each trading day at 23:59 server time. Server time: GMT+2 (GMT+3 during Daylight Saving Time).
Most liquidity providers are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so no overnight interest is charged on those days. However, most providers still account for those two days' interest. As a result, a three-day swap is charged on Wednesdays to compensate for the weekend's interest.
Take Profit and Stop Loss are pending orders. Once the price reaches the set level, the pending order is executed as a market order and is subject to market liquidity. Due to price fluctuations and other unpredictable market conditions, the actual execution price may not exactly match the TP or SL price.
Our quotes are transmitted to our platform by top-tier liquidity providers.
Server time: GMT+2 (GMT+3 during Daylight Saving Time). Time settings cannot be adjusted.
The default MT5 chart displays the bid price (sell price). Since ask price = bid price + spread, a take profit order may not be triggered if only the bid price reaches the TP level. To close a short position, you must refer to the ask price.
There are two possible scenarios:

1. The price you set for a pending order serves as a trigger, meaning the order is activated only when that price is reached. However, due to market conditions—especially during periods of high volatility—the executed price may differ from the specified trigger price.

2. The difference in price may also be due to partial closures before the Stop Loss/Take Profit level was triggered. In this case, the closed price shown is an aggregate of all the prices at which the position was partially closed.

Definitions of each of these orders:

Limit Order: A buy or sell order at a specific price or better. It ensures you get a set price but doesn’t guarantee execution.

Stop Order: Converts into a market order when a set price is reached. It's used to enter trades when momentum confirms direction.

Stop Loss Order: Automatically closes a trade to limit losses if the price moves against you. It helps protect capital by reducing risk.

Take Profit Order: Closes a trade at a preset price to lock in profits. It ensures gains are secured before the market reverses.
Our platform offers thousands of popular trading instruments, including forex, precious metals, equities, digital assets and CFDs. More products will be added in the future.
No, we do not provide guaranteed stop-loss orders.
This happens due to rare circumstances, such as bonus clawback or rewards that were given but must be revoked due to violation of rules.

In normal cases, our clients are secured by Negative Balance Protection, giving them peace of mind that the account balance can never fall below zero.
