What is leverage? How does it work?

Leverage is the multiplication of your balance. This allows you to open bigger trading positions since the margin required will be lowered according to the leverage you have chosen. Even though with leverage you can make a bigger profit, there is also a risk of having a bigger loss because the positions you open will be of higher volume (lot size).Example: Your trading capital is 10,000EUR The leverage chosen is 100:1 For a FIX trading account this means 100*10,000=1,000,000EUR On EURUSD long position opening at 13,055, position closing at 13,155 The difference is 0.0100 pips thus 1,000,000*0.0100=10,000USD this is the profit you made.

What leverage do you offer?

The leverage depends on the instrument traded. Please read more details about this here.

What is margin / margin level / free margin?

Margin is the required amount in the base currency of the trading account needed to open or maintain a position. When trading forex, the Required/Used Margin for a specific position=Number of Lots * Contract size / Leverage. Here the result is originally calculated in the first currency of the traded pair, and then converted into the base currency of your trading account, which will be numerically displayed on your MT4, or any other trading platform. The margin requirement for gold and silver is calculated like this: Lots * Contract Size * Market Price / Leverage. The result will be in USD, which will be converted into the base currency of your trading account (in case it is other than USD). For CFDs, the required margin is Lots * Contract Size * Opening Price * Margin Percentage. The result will be in USD, which will be converted into the base currency of your trading account (in case it is other than USD). More details can be seen here. Margin level is calculated with the formula Equity/Margin * 100%. Free margin is your equity minus margin. It means the available funds that you use for opening new positions, or for maintaining existing positions.

Is there a dormant fee if I don’t use my account?

For fees regarding a dormant account please see Client’s Agreement

What is stop loss?

Stop loss is an order for closing a previously opened position at a price less profitable for the client than the price at the time of placing the stop loss. Stop loss is a limit point that you set to your order. Once this limit point is reached, your order will be closed. Please note that you need to leave certain distances from the current market price when you set up stop/limit orders Using stop loss is useful if you want to minimize your losses when the market goes against you. Stop loss points are always set below the current ASK price on BUY, or above the current BID price on SELL.

What is take profit?

Take profit is an order to close a previously opened position at a price more profitable for the client than the price at the time of placing the take profit. When the take profit is reached, the order will be closed. Please note that you need to leave certain distances from the current market price when you set up stop/limit orders.

How can I calculate 1 pip of profit or loss?

Amount of Base Currency*Pips=Value in Quote Currency Value of 1 pip in EUR/USD=1 Lot (100 000 €) *0.0001=10 USD Value of 1 pip in USD/CHF=1 Lot (100 000 $) *0.0001=10 CHF Value of 1 pip in EUR/JPY=1 Lot (100 000 €) *0.01=1000 JPY

How can I calculate swaps?

Swaps=Pip value x Number of lots x Swap rate x Number of nights Example: $10 (pip value for 1 lot of GBP/USD) x 4 (number of lots) x 0.35 (short GBP/USD) x 4 (number of nights)=$56 swaps

How do I place a new market order in MT4?
  1. An instant order is an instruction to open a position at the current market price.
  2. There are many ways to place an instant order in the MT4 terminal:
  3. Click on the ‘New Order’ button on the ‘Standard’ toolbar
  4. Select ‘New Order’ from the ‘Tools’ drop-down menu
  5. Press F9
  6. Right-click an instrument in the ‘Market Watch’ window and select ‘New Order’
  7. Double-click an instrument in the ‘Market Watch’ window
  8. One-click trading
  9. Proceeding with any of the above options will open up the ‘Order’ window. This will let you adjust the parameters of the position you are about to open. The ‘Symbol’ field allows you to change the instrument, while the ‘Volume’ field is where you set the size of the trade (lot). You may also set stop-loss and take-profit levels, while checking the ‘Standard Deviation’ box at the bottom of the ‘Order’ window will allow you to set the pip range that will be available to you if the market price deviates from the price you clicked at so as to avoid requotes at times of high volatility.
  10. You may then click ‘Sell’ to open a short position at the current bid price, or ‘Buy’ to open a long position at the current ask price.
I can’t see the opening/closing price on my chart.

Every buy order is open at ASK price and closed at BID price, and every sell order is open on BID price and closed at ASK price. By default, you are only able to see the BID line on your chart. In order to see the ASK line, right click the particular chart -> Properties -> Common-> and tick the Show ASK line.

How do I modify or delete a pending order in MT4?

Should the need arise for you to modify or delete a pending order that you have placed, locate the order in the ‘Terminal’ window at the bottom of your MT4 screen. Open orders appear above your account details, while orders that haven’t yet been executed appear below them. Right-click or double-click on the order you wish to modify or delete. A pop-up menu will appear that will allow you to select ‘Modify or Delete Order’. The ‘Order’ window will appear and enable you to change the price at which the order is triggered, to re-set the expiry date of the order, to set stop-loss and take-profit levels or to delete the order altogether.

Why has my pending order not been executed?

If your pending order has not been executed, it may be because you did not have sufficient funds to open the position when the pending order was triggered. Alternatively, your pending order may not have been executed if the specified price has not yet been reached. Please note that for pending Sell Orders, the bid price must reach your specified level; for pending Buy Orders, the ask price must reach your specified level.

Where can I find my account balance and trade history in MT4?

All account information and trade history is found in the ‘Terminal’ window at the bottom of your MT4 screen. At the bottom of this window you will find the following tabs:

Support

What is inactivity fee?

After three (3) consecutive months of non-use (“Inactivity Period”) of the trading account, an inactivity fee will be deducted from the Customer’s trading account, by the end of the inactivity period. The fee should be taken from customers without open positions who didn’t trade for 3 months (3 months from the time they closed their last position). For the first three consecutive inactivity periods, the Company shall deduct the fee of 25 EUR/GBP/USD/CHF (depending on the customer’s relevant currency based account), per inactivity period. For the fourth consecutive inactivity period, the Company shall deduct a yearly inactivity fee of 100EUR/GBP/USD/CHF (depending on the customer’s relevant currency based account).

Therefore, for every year that the account remains inactive, the Company shall deduct for the first three inactivity periods, the fee of 25 EUR/GBP/USD/CHF (depending on the customer’s relevant currency based account) per inactivity period and by the end of the fourth inactivity period, the Company shall deduct a yearly inactivity fee of 100EUR/GBP/USD/CHF (depending on the customer’s relevant currency based account).

The fee will be discontinued the moment the account is no longer deemed inactive, following new trade order for example. The deductions will be executed until the account balance is zero. There will be no charge if the free balance is zero. Accounts with a zero free balance may also be closed.

Can I trade when the market is closed?

When the markets are closed you are unable to trade. As trading occurs only when the market is open (open positions, close positions, place and modify orders) so when the markets are closed, there are no trades available.

Do you accept US client?

FXORO Global is not regulated in the USA. Therefore, we are unable to accept customers from the United States at this time. Additionally, we do not accept any funds that originate from within the US.
