Trading Interface Navigation
Our trading platforms feature intuitive interfaces designed for efficient order execution and market analysis. The main trading window displays real-time quotes, charts, and account information in customizable layouts.
Market Watch panel shows available trading instruments with bid/ask prices and daily changes. Double-clicking any instrument opens the order placement dialog with predefined parameters. Right-click menus provide additional functions including chart analysis and trade history.
Chart windows support multiple timeframes from 1-minute to monthly intervals. Technical indicators, drawing tools, and Expert Advisors integrate seamlessly with chart analysis. Custom templates save preferred chart configurations for quick access.
Order Types and Execution
We support various order types to accommodate different trading strategies. Market orders execute immediately at current prices while pending orders activate when price conditions are met.
Limit orders allow precise entry and exit points at predetermined price levels. Stop orders provide risk management through automatic position closure. Trailing stops adjust automatically as positions move favorably.
Order execution follows strict no-requote policies with minimal slippage. Our liquidity providers ensure competitive spreads and reliable fills during normal market conditions. Execution reports provide detailed trade confirmations.
Risk Management and Position Sizing
Effective risk management forms the foundation of successful trading. We provide comprehensive tools for position sizing, stop-loss placement, and portfolio diversification across multiple instruments.
Position sizing calculators help determine appropriate trade volumes based on account balance and risk tolerance. Risk-per-trade parameters should not exceed 2-3% of total account equity. Proper position sizing prevents catastrophic losses during adverse market movements.
Stop-loss orders automatically close positions when predetermined loss levels are reached. Take-profit orders secure gains by closing profitable positions at target prices. These tools eliminate emotional decision-making during volatile market conditions.
The following risk management principles apply to all trading activities:
- Never risk more than 2% of account balance per trade
- Use stop-loss orders on every position
- Diversify across multiple currency pairs or instruments
- Maintain adequate margin levels above 100%
- Review and adjust risk parameters regularly
Margin Requirements and Leverage
We offer flexible leverage options up to 1:500 for major currency pairs. Leverage amplifies both profits and losses, requiring careful consideration of margin requirements. Higher leverage increases potential returns but also magnifies risk exposure.
Margin requirements vary by instrument type and account classification. Major forex pairs typically require 0.2% margin while exotic pairs may require 2-5% margin. Commodity and index CFDs have specific margin requirements based on underlying volatility.
Instrument Type | Leverage | Margin Requirement |
---|---|---|
Major Forex Pairs | 1:500 | 0.2% |
Minor Forex Pairs | 1:200 | 0.5% |
Exotic Pairs | 1:100 | 1.0% |
Gold/Silver | 1:100 | 1.0% |
Oil/Gas | 1:50 | 2.0% |
Margin calls occur when account equity falls below required margin levels. We send automatic notifications when margin approaches critical levels. Positions may be closed automatically if margin falls below 20% of required levels.

Copy trading services connect novice traders with experienced signal providers. Subscribers automatically replicate trades from selected providers with customizable risk parameters. This feature enables passive trading while learning from successful traders.

Forward testing validates strategies in live market conditions without risking capital. Demo accounts provide risk-free environments for strategy testing and platform familiarization. Successful strategies can be deployed on live accounts with appropriate risk management.
Withdrawal Process and Procedures

We charge minimal withdrawal fees to cover processing costs. Bank transfers incur higher fees due to correspondent banking charges. Electronic wallet withdrawals often process fee-free depending on payment provider policies.
