Every pair, low spreads, fast execution

It depends on your account type and leverage. Orders start from 0.01 lot (1,000 units of the base currency) with leverage up to 1:500, so the margin per order can be just a few dollars. Beginners should start with money they can afford to risk, keep a buffer for price swings and practise on a demo account before trading live.

Major pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY suit beginners: they are highly liquid, have low spreads and plenty of news and analysis to follow. Exotic pairs such as USD/THB tend to be more volatile with wider spreads, so they suit more experienced traders.

A pip is the unit used to measure a currency pair's price change — usually the 4th decimal place (0.0001), or the 2nd (0.01) for JPY pairs. A lot is the contract size: 1 lot equals 100,000 units of the base currency. For example, trading 1 lot of EUR/USD, a 1-pip move is worth about $10, or $0.10 for 0.01 lot.

Leverage lets you open positions larger than your capital — at 1:500, $1 controls a $500 position. Margin is the deposit the system holds while a position is open: opening 1 lot of EUR/USD at 1.1000 (worth $110,000) at 1:500 uses about $220 of margin. Leverage magnifies both profits and losses; if losses push your Margin Level down to the set threshold, positions may be closed automatically (Stop Out).

Swap is the overnight interest credited or charged when you hold a position past the daily rollover. It is based on the interest-rate difference between the pair's two currencies and is tripled on Wednesday to cover Saturday and Sunday. For swap-free accounts, ask our support team about conditions and eligibility.

The London–New York overlap, roughly 19:00–23:00 Thai time (20:00–24:00 outside DST), has the highest liquidity and volatility — especially for EUR/USD and GBP/USD. The Thai-time morning (the Asian session) is usually quieter, except for JPY and AUD pairs.
