Question 17

What is a CFD?

Accepted Answer

CFD stands for "Contract for Difference". Rather than negotiate or physically exchange the financial asset (e.g. physically buy or sell the stock of a company), the CFD is a transaction in which two parties agree to exchange money on the basis of the change in value (price) of the underlying asset, occurred between the point at which the position is opened and the moment when it is closed. You can find more information about CFDs HERE.

Question 18

What amounts can I trade with CFDs?

Accepted Answer

With CFDs there are no fixed amounts. When placing your order, you determine how much value is designed to a pip. While your position is open, your profit or loss is determined by this criterion. Please ensure that you understand all risks associated with CFD trading before placing your order. It is important to note that a CFD is a leveraged product, which means you only pay a margin (collateral) in order to open a trade, which corresponds to a fraction of the actual position value. Using leverage also means that you only need to deposit a small percentage of the full value of the trade in order to open a position. This is called ‘trading on margin’. While trading on margin allows you to magnify your returns, losses will also be magnified as they are based on the full value of the position. Please ensure that you understand all risks associated with CFD trading before placing your order.

Question 19

What do BUY(Long) and SELL (Short) mean?

Accepted Answer

You select BUY, if you think that the price of the underlying asset will rise. In financial terms this is referred to as going "LONG". You select SELL, if you think that the price of the underlying asset will fall. In financial terms this is referred to as going "SHORT".

Question 20

How can I download MetaTrader 4?

Accepted Answer

The Meta Trader software is available for different devices. The appropriate link to your desired device can be found HERE.

Question 21

How do I place a trade on the MetaTrader 4?

Press CTRL+U to bring up the symbols window and select your desired underlying asset. Adjust your position size by setting the number of lots you wish to trade on the Volume tab. At this point, you may also wish to set your maximum Stop-Loss or Take-Profit limits, so that your position will close automatically upon reaching these levels. Click ‘BUY’ if you think the price of your selected asset will rise in value. Click ‘SELL’ if you think the price of your selected asset will fall in value.

Accepted Answer

In both the Webtrader and the desktop version of the trading platform, you can find the trading hours within the "Market Overview" by right clicking on an underlying asset and selecting "Specifications".

Question 25

When and why are my positions automatically closed?

Accepted Answer

Automatic closing of your position(s) occurs when your equity is only 50% of your required margin. This occurs when your open positions have ongoing losses that account for a large portion of your equity. Please ensure that you always have adequate funds in your account to prevent automatic closures. A detailed example can be found HERE.

Question 26

What is the Stop-Loss or Take-Profit and how are they executed?

Accepted Answer

Both of these types of orders are used to automatically close an open position. With a Stop-Loss, losses should be limited, while the Take-Profit is used to protect profits. Once the market price reaches the Stop-Loss or Take-Profit level, the position is closed at the current available market price. However, with both order types, it cannot be guaranteed that the predetermined exit level will exactly match the actual exit price. If the market price rises or falls above/below the predetermined exit level, higher profits or losses than the desired ones may occur. If you would like to learn more, please read the entry about "Slippage" in the CFD Glossary.

Question 27

Which fees are charges when trading CFDs /Forex?

Accepted Answer

A detailed overview of our trading commissions can be found HERE.

Question 28

What is Spread?

Accepted Answer

A spread is simply the price difference between where the trader may purchase or sell an underlying CFD asset, this is commonly referred to as the bid and ask price. You can think of the spread as the trading cost for placing a position; thinner spreads essentially enable you to reduce your trading costs thus making profits larger or losses smaller, after you close your positions.

Question 29

What is Margin?

Accepted Answer

Margin represents a security deposit which is at least required to open a trade. In plain terms, margin is the amount you are contributing to a certain trade and in essence it is also the amount you stand to lose should the markets move against you. Margin is also the term used for the amount of money that you need to keep in your account to sustain a position, called the maintenance margin. Eventually, if your position threatens to wipe your account clean, there will be a point where the position will be automatically closed, this is called a margin stop-out. In order to sustain your positions open, the automatic closing of your position could be prevented by depositing more funds.

Question 30

Do you offer microlots, or CFDs smaller than one standard contract?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can choose the volume you want to trade, either by selecting your desired volume from a pre-defined list or by typing it directly into the input field. ATTENTION: MetaTrader 4 uses the Anglo-American style of writing, the comma is defined by a point, not a comma.
