Risk warning: CFDs, namely Contracts for difference, are financial instruments which carry a high risk of losing all capital as they are complex financial products.

Past performance is not a reliable source for future results and forecasts do not constitute a reliable indicator of future performance. It is highlighted that trading in CFDs is not appropriate for all investors and prior deciding to trade, you should thoroughly consider whether your level of experience, investment objectives and risk tolerance is able to endure the high risk of trading.

General

  • What is my trading account?
    After completing your registration, a personal trading account is created, and you can start trading.
  • What is a CFD?
    A CFD (Contract for difference), offers traders the opportunity to speculate on, and possibly earn from the price movement, without actually physically owning the underlying asset. By using a CFD (basically a contract between a buyer and seller that specifies a certain purchase price), it allows for profits or losses based, on the change in the price of the underlying asset during a specified time frame. CFDs can be traded in all the major markets, Forex, Stocks, Indices, Commodities and Cryptocurrencies.
  • What is a leverage?
    A leverage increases your purchasing power hence enables you to gain a large exposure to a financial market while only tying up a relatively small amount of your capital.

    CFDs are leveraged, which means you only have to put down a small deposit for much larger exposure.

    Leverage increases your profit potential as well as the risk of losing your capital.
  • What is a lot?
    A lot is the standard number of units per transaction and represents the size of your trades in CFDs. The standard size for a lot is 100,000 units of currency, and now, there are also mini, micro, and nano lot sizes that are 10,000, 1,000, and 100 units.
  • What are pips and points?
    A ‘pip’ stands for ‘Price Interest Point’ or ‘Percentage in Point’ and is used as a unit of measure of the change in value of a currency pair – a pip is the smallest allowable fluctuation in its price.

    Most of the currencies, unlike the Japanese Yen, have 2 decimal points e.g. 1 dollar = 100 cents.
  • What is a margin?
    When a broker loans money to a trader in order they can use leverage, allowing them to control a larger amount of trading capital than what’s currently in their account. Traders typically use it to open positions that are many times larger than what would otherwise be possible, exposing themselves to greater potential for returns but also for losses.
  • What is a spread?
    A spread is the difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price.
  • What is a swap?
    A swap fee is charged when you keep a position open overnight.
