Questions

Frequently asked questions

Accounts, pricing, execution and withdrawals.

Do you ever take the other side of my trade?

No. The firm operates no dealing desk and warehouses no positions. Orders are passed to the liquidity pool and filled by a counterparty. The share of executed orders by provider is published in the transparency report.

What do I actually pay?

A commission per lot per side on Raw ECN: $3.50 on forex, $0.35 on indices and $3.50 on commodities. A Standard account carries no commission on those three. Crypto is charged on notional at 0.20% per side on either account type. The spread is the raw spread received from the liquidity pool.

Why is your leverage lower than other brokers?

1:100 is the maximum leverage on forex, indices and commodities. On crypto the maximum is 1:5.

When would my positions be closed out?

The close-out level is 100%, and it is published rather than left to bediscovered.
