TRADING PLATFORMS

The minimum lot size at FXTM is 0.01 lots for standard.mt4 accounts and ecn.mt4/ecn.mt5 accounts.

For this information, please visit our Contract Specifications page.

Orders cannot always be guaranteed at the displayed price; this depends on market conditions. During market open or periods of high market volatility, if an order level falls within a price gap the trade will be carried out at the current price shown in the quotes flow at the time the order execution is being processed. Sell Stop, Buy Stop and Stop Loss orders will be executed at a less profitable level whereas Sell Limit, Buy Limit and Take Profit orders will be executed at a more profitable level.

Yes, you can. On your MT4 or MT5 trading platform, look at the bottom of your screen for the "Terminal" window. If you cannot see it, press Ctrl+T and it will appear. Choose "Account History", right-click the box that pops up, and choose between "All History", "Last Month" or "Last 3 Months". You will then be able to view your account history. You can also select "Custom Period" and enter the dates you wish to view.

All you have to do is call our Dealing Desk at +357 2555 8775. Our Dealing Desk can be reached 24 hours a day between Monday and Friday. For security purposes, you will have to give us your telephone password and trading platform login details to continue with closing a position.

No, you should not encounter any difficulties because both our platforms and trading desk are fully prepared to accommodate active trading. See our Terms of Business for further information on trading volatile markets.

Yes, you can put a trailing stop on an order. For further information on how to do this, please check our MetaTrader 4/5 User Manual (.chm file).

A trailing stop can only be carried out in the client trading terminal. If you sign out or your connection to MT4 or MT5 is cut for whatever reason, the trailing stop orders you will have placed will be lost.

This is possible on MetaTrader 4 but not on MetaTrader 5. On MetaTrader 4 you can open a "Buy" and "Sell" position on the same instrument. This is referred to as "hedging" or "matching" a position. For such positions, the margin requirement is half the normal margin requirement.

No, they will not be closed when you go offline, they will remain active even if you log out of your trading platform. All orders are logged in our system except trailing stops; these will be deleted if you log out of your trading platform or if your connection is lost. The same applies to Expert Advisors, which deactivates if you log out of your trading platform or lose your connection.

If a position is left open overnight, it is rolled over. This means that the value date moves to the next business day, allowing the trade to keep its open spot status.

When a position is rolled over to the next day, there will be a swap credit or charge made according to the swap rates specified on the Contract Specifications page.

The swap, or rollover cost, is calculated on the difference between the interest rate of the two currencies in a pair. Swap rates can depend on market demand and supply, but usually when a trader buys a high interest rate currency pair and then sells it with a lower interest rate, they will earn the swap/rollover. If a trader buys the low interest currency pair and sells it with a higher interest rate, they will be charged the swap/rollover. Swap rates may change at any time.

Please note that swap for positions which remain open from Wednesday to Thursday is applied at triple the normal rate stated on our Contract Specifications page.

You will not be charged commission on standard.mt4 accounts, the only cost of the transaction will be the spread. You will however be charged commission on ECN accounts.
