What types of orders does tomotrader offer?
tomotrader supports market orders, limit orders, stop orders, and more.
Trading
What is leverage?
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.
What is margin?
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.
How do I calculate my margin requirement?
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.

Suppose the GBP/USD quote is 1.4385. When trading one mini lot with our STP account leverage (1:1000), the margin requirement is:

The platform also provides a Margin Calculator to help you determine your margin level.
What is a margin call?
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%.
What is forced liquidation?
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%
Margin Level = (Net Equity / Used Margin) × 100%
How is overnight interest (swap) calculated?
Overnight interest is automatically calculated by the MT5 platform. To check the latest swap rates, follow these steps:

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).

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).
When is overnight interest credited?
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).
Why is Wednesday’s overnight interest three times the usual amount?
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.
Why is my closing price different from my take profit (TP) or stop loss (SL) price?
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.
Where do market quotes come from?
Our quotes are transmitted to our platform by top-tier liquidity providers.
What is the time setting on the platform charts? Can I adjust it?
Server time: GMT+2 (GMT+3 during Daylight Saving Time). Time settings cannot be adjusted.
The price on the chart reached my take profit level, but my TP order was not triggered. Why?
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.
Why is the executed price different from the price I set for my Limit/Stop/Stop Loss/Take Profit order?
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.

Why does my MT5 account show a negative balance?

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.
