FAQ
FOREX TERMS
What is the price of 1 pip on the Forex market?
The price of 1 pip is defined separately for each currency pair. For 1 lot the price of 1 pip is about 10 cents for a cent account or 10 dollars for a dollar account. The price of 1 pip is calculated in the following way: 100000*number of lots*0.0001*the price of the second currency in the currency pair.
How much is 0,01 lot on a cent account, and what is the minimum amount needed to open a deal?
0,01 lot on a cent account is equal to 10 units of the base currency; the required margin=10*exchange rate of the base currency against dollar/leverage.
What is a Swap? Sometimes it charges money, and sometimes it adds money.
You are trading on Forex Spot, so you make an order with the execution date on the next day. In other words, when you buy 1 lot GBP/USD you place a buy order (you buy 100000 pounds and pay dollars) with the currency delivery time on the next day. Because it isn't a real delivery, on the next day you reserve the execution date for one more day, etc.
However, you have to pay the difference between the refinance rates of national banks of the countries, whose currency you exchange.
Here is a typical example:
Let's assume that in Europe the rate is 4,0%, while in America 3,5%. You have the open sell position on 1.0 lot on EUR/USD. For this you need to sell 100,000 EUR. That means that you have to borrow them under the annual rate of 4,0%. Having sold euros we buy dollars that we lend under the annual rate of 3,5%. The total amount of your expenses on the transaction: (4.0-3.5)% annual rate or, that is the same, having the exchange rate EUR/USD 0.9000: 675 dollars per year, which equals 1.85 dollars per day. Alternatively, when trading at 1:100 it's 0.18 pips.
The sum that is added/charged as a payment for holding the position overnight is called the storage or swap.
Note:
To hold the position overnight from Wednesday to Thursday the triple storage is charged/added. This happens because the position opened on Wednesday has its value date on Friday. When the position is held overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, its value date should expand not for one day but for three days and become Monday. That is why from Wednesday to Thursday the triple storage is charged/added.
What is a stop-loss?
This order is designed to minimize losses if the price of financial instrument has started to move in the unprofitable direction. If the price of the instrument reaches this level, the position will automatically close.
This order is related to open position or pending order.
It can be placed only with a market order or a pending order.
The conditional check of this order is made by: Bid-price for long positions and Ask-price for short positions.
The trailing stop can be used to automate stop-loss movement after the price.
What is meant by "take-profit"?
Take profit is designed as a way to obtain profit when the price of the financial instrument has reached the predicted level. It allows a trader to specify the price to close a trade as it moves in a profitable direction.
Once the price of the instrument reaches the exact price that has been set by the trader, the order is executed, the position is closed and profit is taken.
This order can be placed only with a market order or a pending order. For the instruments with market execution you can place "take profit" only after opening the position.
For a Buy order, Take- Profit must be set above the current price. It is set below the current price when it is a Sell order.
The conditional check of this order is made by: Bid-price for long positions; or Ask-price for short positions.
How are margin, summarized lot and deposit interrelated? How is margin calculated?
Balance - fixed money on your account.
Equity = Balance + Profit (-Loss) on open positions
Free Margin = Equity - Margin
So, these are the funds that you can use to open positions.
Level = Equity/Margin
Margin = 100000 /(leverage) * (current rate of exchange) * (lot size)
If the level is less than 15%, then the most unprofitable position is closed automatically.
If you have overspent your balance (after all the positions are closed), your balance will be restored to zero
What is meant by "spike"?
A spike is an error quotation with the following characteristics:
a. A significant price gap;
b. A price rebound over a short period of time within a price gap;
c. Absence of rapid price movement before its appearance;
d. Absence of important macroeconomic indicators and/or corporate news of significant effect before its appearance.
What are forex crosses?
Forex Crosses are currency pairs in which the base currency (USD) isn't visible.
On the Forex market there are two types of currency pairs: major pairs and crosses. For example, EUR/JPY is a cross pair, because it's formed from two major pairs: EUR/USD and USD/JPY.
What is the trailing stop? How does the trailing stop order differ from the common stop order? Does the trailing stop work when my computer isn't connected to the Internet?
When you put trailing stop (for example for X pips) the following happens:
When you put a trailing stop (for example, for X pips), the following occurs: MetaTrader doesn't do anything till the moment when the position goes to profit on X pips (the size of the trailing stop). Subsequently, MetaTrader places the stop order on the price that differs from the actual price on X pips(in this example, the breakeven point).
If MetaTrader gets the quotation when the distance between the actual price and the stop order exceeds X pips (the size of the trailing stop), MetaTrader changes the stop order for the distance equal to X pips from the actual price. Thus your stop order comes closer to the actual price for the distance in X pips.
The trailing stop works only when you're connected to the Internet and your trading account is opened in the trading terminal.

Why do some positions close automatically?
The stop-out level is the status of a sub-account, when open positions are closed automatically (by the company) according to current quotations.
The company reserves the right to close the most unprofitable deals in order to avoid overspent balance (in a volatile market) when the margin level drops to 15%.
The last position is closed when the margin level is equal to 15%. For the deposits that exceed $1000 there is the other principle: Margin Call/Stop-out level - 80%/60%
My pending order didn't work, although the candlestick on the chart touched it and was one point lower. Why didn't the order work?
The thing is that on the display you see only BID quotes. Pending orders that open a Buy position are executed at the ASK price.
These prices differ from each other by the spread size. For example, if you want a pending order on GBP/USD to be executed,
then the price should break through it on three points.
Are there any restrictions concerning the duration of the deal from opening to closing (by time or by pips)? How far can "Take Profit" and "Stop Loss" be placed from the current price?
The minimum interval from opening to closing a deal on 4 digit quote deal is 60seconds. There is no restriction for orders made on 5 digit quotations.

Yes, of course the. You can change the leverage in the your the Personal Area.
What is the difference between 1:100 and 1:200 leverage (excluding the fact that a deal for a bigger sum can be made)?
These leverages differ due to the fact that, with the leverage of 1:200, you can open a bigger position. When you open positions of the same volume, if your leverage is 1:200 the margin will be half of the margin that you will have with the leverage of 1:100. You get a bigger "action radius", in fact.
Isn't it somewhat dangerous to trade with the leverage of 1:200?
Dangerous. In all, Forex is a dangerous game. Here you can not only gain enormous profit but also lose money.
Leverage can only refer to your degree of freedom. This is like driving at the speed 200 km/h.
Yes, it's dangerous, but it can also be necessary. Some companies provide leverages of between 1:20 and 1:100, but instead we offer our traders every possible opportunity. You choose the driving speed.
Of course, we advise you to be cautious and use all those opportunities only in fortunate circumstances.
How can I find out what is my responsibility for leverage?
Your risk is limited by the money that you have on your account.
