CWG Markets collate the best offers of financial products from a number of top banks for investors to use when trading. The CWG hierarchical quotation system allows customers' high-value transactions to be quickly traded through the quotation levels provided by a variety of liquidity providers, so that no matter how large the transaction volume is, the best transaction price can be obtained.

We practice treating every client fairly and openly, and we adopt the common practice of dealing with slippage in the industry. CWG will not interfere with the client’s transaction and the price at which the order is actually executed, so as to ensure that the customer receives the real-time and accurate quotation. Price improvement, also known as ‘positive slippage’, occurs in fast-moving markets when the price changes between the time you place your trade, or when your order is triggered, and the time your order is executed. In this case we won’t reject your trade or order, we will simply execute it at the better price. Under each circumstance, CWG will bring about more rational price to the clients under the market trend. However, under equal condition, the price will also be low under declining market trend. All quotations of clients come from CWG partners and in order to ensure that our customers can get the most advantageous price under the favorable market trend, we have invested heavily to choose the most reputable and powerful liquidity providers.

Lock Positions is a new position opened by a futures investor after buying and selling a futures contract when the market moves in the opposite direction to his or her own operation. If the Lock Position is used, the two parts of the two directions will exist at the same time and will not offset each other. Generally speaking, the lock order is used to lock the current loss or profit until the appropriate time comes to deal with it, which is also called lock position and lock position order.

CWG Markets allows customers to lock positions

The hedge position operation of CWG Markets customers doesn’t occupy margins.

The process of account margin return to zero caused by compulsory position closing due to insufficient margin is called 'stop out'.

Expect the used margin, when the remaining money of our account which is also called available margin is 0, it will stop out. That is, compulsory position closing. Usually, compulsory position closing starts from the order with the largest loss until the margin ratio returns to the ratio specified by the platform.

The platform has set a stop out level. When the margin is not enough to support orders, all the orders with positions at that time will stop out.

At CWG Markets, the Margin Call ratio/Stop out ratio: 100%/50%

Stock CFDs (Contracts for Difference) are financial derivatives that allow traders to speculate on the price movement of individual stocks without owning the underlying asset. Unlike traditional stock trading, where investors buy and hold shares of a company, Stock CFDs enable traders to take long (buy) or short (sell) positions, profiting from both rising and falling markets.

Key differences between Stock CFDs and traditional stock trading:

For example, if you believe the Euro (EUR) will strengthen against the U.S. Dollar (USD), you can buy the EUR/USD currency pair. If the Euro rises in value, you can sell it for a profit. Conversely, if the Euro weakens, you may incur a loss.

  • Leverage: Stock CFDs allow traders to control a larger position with a smaller initial investment. Traditional stock trading typically requires full payment of the share price.
  • Short Selling: With Stock CFDs, traders can profit from declining stock prices by opening short positions. Traditional stock trading usually requires additional steps like borrowing shares to short-sell.
  • No Ownership: When trading CFDs, you don’t own the actual stock. Instead, you are entering into a contract based on its price movement. In traditional trading, investors gain shareholder rights such as dividends and voting power.
  • Market Accessibility: Stock CFDs can be traded over-the-counter (OTC) with flexible contract sizes, allowing traders to diversify their investments more easily.

Leverage in Stock CFD trading allows traders to control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital, amplifying both potential profits and risks.

For example, at CWG Markets, let’s say you want to trade Tesla (TSLA) shares, currently priced at $540 per share. If the contract volume is 10 shares and the margin ratio is 0.1 (10%), the margin calculation would be:

540 (price) × 10 (shares) × 0.1 (margin ratio) = $540 USD This means you only need $540 to open a position worth $5,400 in Tesla stock. The remaining capital is provided by CWG Markets as part of the leveraged trade.

  • Maximizes Capital Efficiency – Trade larger positions with less initial investment.
  • Potential for Higher Returns – Small price movements can result in significant gains.

Risks of Leverage:

  • Increased Losses – Just as leverage magnifies profits, it also increases potential losses. If the market moves against your position, losses could exceed your initial margin.
  • Margin Calls – If your account balance drops below the required margin level, CWG Markets may issue a margin call, requiring additional funds to keep the position open or automatically closing the trade to prevent further losses.

Short-selling in Stock CFDs allows traders to profit from falling stock prices by opening a short position (selling first and buying later).

For example, if you believe that Apple (AAPL) stock will decline from $150 to $140, you can:

  • Open a short position at $150.
  • If the stock drops to $140, close the position.
  • Your profit is the $10 price difference per share.

Benefits of Short-Selling in Stock CFDs at CWG Markets:

  • Profit in Downtrends – Unlike traditional stock trading, where investors can only profit from rising prices, Stock CFDs allow traders to capitalize on market downturns.
  • Hedging Against Losses – Investors holding traditional stock portfolios can use CFDs to hedge against price declines. For example, if you own Tesla shares but anticipate a short-term drop, you can short Tesla CFDs to offset potential losses.

Margin trading at CWG Markets allows traders to open Stock CFD positions by depositing only a fraction of the total trade value. The remaining funds are provided by CWG Markets as leverage.

Example of Margin Calculation:

If the stock price of Tesla (TSLA) is $540 per share, and you trade 10 shares with a margin ratio of 0.1 (10%), the required margin is: $540 × 10 × 0.1 = $540 USD

  • Margin Calls: If losses reduce your account balance below the required margin, CWG Markets may issue a margin call, requiring additional funds.
  • Liquidation: If your position continues to lose value and your account cannot meet margin requirements, CWG Markets may automatically close the trade to limit further losses.

To manage risks, traders at CWG Markets should:

  • Use stop-loss orders to limit potential losses.
  • Monitor margin levels regularly to avoid unexpected liquidations.
  • Use conservative leverage ratios to reduce exposure.

At CWG Markets, capital security is a top priority. Several measures ensure that traders’ funds remain safe:

Segregated Bank Accounts:

  • Client funds are kept separate from CWG Markets’ operational funds.
  • Deposited funds are held in top-tier banks to ensure security and liquidity.

Strict Regulatory Compliance:

  • CWG Markets operates under global financial regulations and is subject to regular audits.
  • Compliance with strict financial standards ensures transparency and accountability.

Secure Transactions:

  • Encrypted deposits and withdrawals to prevent fraud.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) to secure trading accounts from unauthorized access.

Forex trading (foreign exchange trading) is the process of buying and selling currency pairs in the global financial markets. The forex market is the largest and most liquid financial market in the world, with a daily trading volume exceeding $7 trillion.

At CWG Markets, you can trade major, minor, and exotic currency pairs using our advanced trading platforms, including MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). The goal of forex trading is to speculate on currency price movements and capitalize on market fluctuations.

For example, if you believe the Euro (EUR) will strengthen against the U.S. Dollar (USD), you can buy the EUR/USD currency pair. If the Euro rises in value, you can sell it for a profit. Conversely, if the Euro weakens, you may incur a loss.

CWG Markets provides ultra-low spreads, high leverage (up to 1:400), and deep liquidity from Tier 1 banks to ensure seamless execution of your trades.

Understanding these key concepts is crucial for forex traders:

  • Spreads: The spread is the difference between the bid (buy) and ask (sell) price of a currency pair. For example, if the EUR/USD bid price is 1.1000 and the ask price is 1.1002, the spread is 2 pips. CWG Markets offers tight spreads starting from 0.0 pips, ensuring competitive pricing for traders.
  • Pips: A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest price movement in forex trading. Most currency pairs are quoted to the fourth decimal place (e.g., 1.2345), meaning one pip is 0.0001. For JPY pairs, a pip is the second decimal place (e.g., 110.25 → 110.26 = 1 pip movement).
  • Leverage: Leverage allows traders to control larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. For example, with 100:1 leverage, a trader can control a $10,000 position with just $100.

Forex trading involves inherent risks due to market volatility, leverage, and external economic factors. However, traders can minimize risks by implementing effective risk management strategies:

  • Use Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Orders – A stop-loss automatically closes a trade if the price moves against you, preventing excessive losses. A take-profit order locks in profits when a target price is reached.
  • Trade with Proper Leverage – While high leverage can amplify profits, it also increases risks. Use leverage wisely and ensure you have sufficient margin to avoid liquidation.
  • Diversify Your Trades – Avoid overexposure to a single currency pair. Diversifying trades across multiple pairs can help mitigate risks.
  • Stay Informed About Market Events – Economic news, interest rate decisions, and geopolitical events impact forex prices. CWG Markets provides real-time news updates and analysis to help traders make informed decisions.

CFD (Contract for Difference) trading on crude oil allows traders to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. When trading oil CFDs with CWG Markets, traders can buy (go long) if they expect prices to rise or sell (go short) if they anticipate a decline.

CWG Markets provides access to two major crude oil benchmarks:

  • Spot WTI Crude Oil (USOILRoll) – Based on West Texas Intermediate crude oil.
  • Spot Brent Crude Oil (UKOILRoll) – Based on Brent crude, the global oil benchmark.

Trading crude oil CFDs with CWG Markets comes with several key advantages:

  • Leverage Up to 100:1 – Traders can maximize their capital efficiency by controlling larger positions with a smaller initial investment.
  • Ultra-Low Latency Execution – With 11.06 ms average execution speed and ultra-low latency data center colocation, CWG Markets ensures rapid trade execution.
  • Competitive Spreads – CWG Markets provides tight spreads across its range of commodities, reducing trading costs.
  • No Interest or Swap Fees – Traders benefit from swap-free trading, making it more cost-effective for holding positions overnight.
  • Multiple Trading Platforms – Access oil markets through powerful trading platforms on desktop and mobile, ensuring seamless trading on the go.
  • Diversification Opportunities – Crude oil CFDs provide a hedge against inflation and market volatility, offering an excellent addition to an investment portfolio.

Leverage in crude oil CFD trading allows traders to control larger positions with a fraction of the capital required for traditional oil futures. For example, with 100:1 leverage, a trader can open a $10,000 position with just $100 in margin.

While leverage increases potential returns, it also significantly magnifies risk:

  • Amplified Profits & Losses – If the market moves in the trader's favor, gains are multiplied. However, if it moves against them, losses are also magnified.
  • Margin Calls & Stop-Outs – If losses exceed available capital, the broker may issue a margin call requiring additional funds. If the balance falls below the required maintenance margin, CWG Markets may automatically close positions to prevent further losses.
  • Volatility & Price Fluctuations – Crude oil prices are highly volatile due to supply-demand dynamics, geopolitical events, and macroeconomic factors. This volatility can create significant profit opportunities but also increase trading risk.

Crude oil prices are affected by various fundamental and technical factors, creating trading opportunities for CFD traders:

  • Key Fundamental Factors: Oil prices fluctuate based on supply and demand, OPEC decisions, geopolitical events, economic data, and the strength of the U.S. dollar. A stronger dollar makes oil more expensive for foreign buyers, reducing demand.
  • Technical Factors: Traders use price trends, chart patterns, support and resistance levels, Moving Averages, and the RSI to analyze momentum, identify market movements, and determine entry and exit points.

Opening an energy trading account with CWG Markets is a simple process:

  • Sign Up – Visit the CWG Markets website and complete the online registration form. Provide personal details and trading preferences.

  • Deposit Funds – Add funds to your trading account using secure payment methods such as bank transfer, credit/debit card, or e-wallets.
  • Choose a Trading Platform – CWG Markets offers access to advanced trading platforms available on desktop and mobile.
  • Start Trading – Select Spot WTI Crude Oil (USOILRoll) or Spot Brent Crude Oil (UKOILRoll), analyze market conditions, and execute your first trade.

Traders can also open a demo account to practice trading strategies before committing real capital.

Index trading involves speculating on the price movements of a stock market index rather than individual stocks. A stock index represents a group of selected stocks that provide insight into the overall performance of a particular market or sector.

At CWG Markets, traders can access over 18 major global indices through Contracts for Difference (CFDs) and futures. When trading indices via CFDs, traders do not own the underlying assets but instead speculate on whether the index price will rise or fall. This enables traders to take advantage of both upward and downward market movements. CWG Markets provides real-time market data, technical analysis tools, and leveraged trading options to enhance your trading experience.

Trading indices has several benefits over trading individual stocks, making them a popular choice among traders. Some key advantages include:

  • Market Diversification: Instead of relying on the performance of a single stock, index trading allows exposure to an entire market segment, reducing the impact of individual stock volatility.
  • Lower Risk Compared to Individual Stocks: Since indices represent a collection of stocks, they are generally less volatile than individual stocks, providing a more stable trading environment.
  • Leverage Opportunities: CWG Markets offers leveraged trading, which allows traders to open larger positions with a smaller capital investment. However, it is important to manage risk effectively when using leverage.
  • Global Market Access: With CWG Markets, you can trade indices from multiple global markets, including the FTSE 100 (UK100), Dow Jones Industrial Average (US30), and the Nikkei 225 (JP225).
  • Hedging Opportunities: Traders use indices to hedge against risks in their stock portfolios by taking positions that counterbalance potential losses in other investments.

Several factors influence the price movements of stock indices. Traders should consider these factors when making trading decisions:

  • Economic Indicators: Reports such as GDP growth, inflation rates, and employment data impact investor sentiment and market direction.
  • Corporate Earnings Reports: The financial performance of large companies within an index can significantly affect its overall value. For example, strong earnings from tech giants can boost the Nasdaq 100 (US100).
  • Interest Rates and Central Bank Policies: Announcements from the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, or other monetary authorities regarding interest rate changes often lead to significant index price movements.
  • Market Sentiment and Geopolitical Events: Global events, political instability, or changes in trade policies can create market uncertainty, leading to increased volatility in indices.
  • Supply and Demand Dynamics: Large institutional investors and hedge funds influence index prices through their trading activities. Sudden increases in buying or selling pressure can cause index price fluctuations.

Successful index trading requires well-planned strategies tailored to market conditions. Here are some common strategies traders use:

  • Trend Trading: This strategy involves analyzing market trends and taking positions based on the expected continuation of an index's upward or downward movement.
  • Range Trading: Traders identify key support and resistance levels and place trades within these price ranges, buying at support and selling at resistance.
  • Breakout Trading: This method focuses on identifying points where an index breaks past significant resistance or support levels, leading to strong price movements.
  • Scalping: Scalpers take advantage of small price fluctuations by making multiple trades within a short timeframe to capture quick profits.
  • Hedging Strategies: Investors use index trading to hedge against potential losses in their stock portfolios by taking opposing positions.

Leverage allows traders to control larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. For example, if CWG Markets offers a 1:10 leverage ratio, a trader can control a $10,000 index position with only $1,000 in their account.

  • Magnified Losses: Just as leverage increases profit potential, it also means losses can exceed the initial investment if the market moves against the trade.
  • Margin Calls: If a trade moves unfavorably, a trader may receive a margin call requiring additional funds to keep the position open. Failure to meet margin requirements can result in automatic position closure.
  • Market Volatility: Indices can experience sudden price swings due to economic news, geopolitical events, or earnings reports, making leveraged trades riskier.
  • Risk Management Strategies: CWG Markets provides risk management tools such as stop-loss orders and negative balance protection to help traders mitigate potential losses.

Commodity futures are financial contracts that obligate the buyer to purchase, or the seller to sell, a specific quantity of a commodity (such as crude oil, natural gas, cotton, or cocoa) at a predetermined price on a future date. These contracts are traded on futures exchanges and are widely used by traders to speculate on price movements or hedge against potential price risks.

With CWG Markets, traders can access global commodity futures products as Contracts for Difference (CFDs), allowing them to speculate on price movements without having to own the underlying asset. Unlike traditional futures contracts, commodity CFDs with CWG do not have an expiration date, providing flexibility and continuous trading opportunities.

Trading commodity futures with CWG Markets offers several advantages, including:

  • Access to Major Global Markets: Trade popular commodities such as crude oil, natural gas, gold, and agricultural products.
  • Lower Spreads: CWG Markets provides competitive spreads with no additional insurance costs, making trading more cost-effective.
  • Continuous Charting: Unlike traditional futures contracts, CWG’s commodity CFDs do not expire, meaning traders can conduct long-term technical analysis without disruptions.
  • High Leverage: Traders can maximize their capital efficiency by using leverage, increasing their potential market exposure.
  • Increased Transparency: With a continuous profit/loss stream and daily funding charges instead of expiration rollovers, traders have better clarity on their positions.

Crude oil is one of the most actively traded commodities in the world, and CWG Markets provides an efficient way to trade crude oil through CFDs. Here’s why traders choose CWG:

  • Highly Liquid Market: Crude oil CFDs allow traders to access one of the most liquid financial markets, where large trading volumes ensure smooth order execution.
  • More Trading Opportunities: Due to its volatility, crude oil prices frequently experience significant movements, offering traders multiple profit opportunities.
  • Portfolio Diversification: Oil investments can provide portfolio diversification, as oil prices often have a low correlation with stock and bond markets.
  • No Expiry Constraints: Unlike traditional oil futures that have fixed expiration dates, CWG’s crude oil CFDs allow for continuous trading without the need to close and reopen positions.

CWG Markets operates on a model where traders pay a daily funding charge when holding a commodity CFD position overnight. This charge replaces the need to close and reopen contracts at expiry, making trading more transparent and seamless.

The funding charge is calculated based on the interest rate differential and the cost of carrying the position. This system ensures that traders can maintain their positions as long as they want without worrying about contract rollovers, which are common in traditional futures markets. The charge is automatically applied to the trading account and is visible in the transaction history.

CWG Markets equips traders with several tools and resources to enhance their commodity trading experience:

  • Advanced Trading Platform: A state-of-the-art platform with real-time price charts, customizable indicators, and advanced order execution tools.
  • Continuous Charting: Since CWG commodity CFDs have no fixed expiry, traders can analyze long-term price trends using backdated historical data.
  • Market Analysis & News: Regular updates on market trends, price movements, and trading opportunities.
  • Risk Management Tools: Stop-loss, take-profit, and negative balance protection to help traders manage their risks effectively.
  • Educational Resources: Webinars, tutorials, and expert market insights to help both beginners and experienced traders improve their strategies.

Contracts for Difference (CFDs) are financial derivatives that allow traders to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. When trading precious metals like gold (XAU/USD) or silver (XAG/USD) with CWG Markets, you are not purchasing physical bullion but instead trading based on price fluctuations.

With CFDs, traders can go long (buy) if they expect prices to rise or short (sell) if they anticipate a decline. This flexibility allows for profit opportunities in both bullish and bearish markets. Additionally, because CFDs are leveraged products, traders can control large market positions with a relatively small margin deposit, amplifying both potential gains and risks.

Leverage allows traders to open positions that are much larger than their initial investment. CWG Markets offers leverage of up to 1:400 on gold (XAU/USD) and 1:100 on silver (XAG/USD). This means that with a small amount of capital, traders can access a significantly larger trade size.

For example, if you have $1,000 in your trading account and use 1:200 leverage, you can control a position worth $200,000 in gold trading. However, while leverage increases potential profits, it also magnifies potential losses. Therefore, risk management strategies such as stop-loss orders and proper position sizing are essential when trading with leverage.

Trading gold and silver through CWG Markets comes with several advantages:

  • Competitive Spreads: CWG Markets offers some of the lowest spreads in the industry, ensuring cost-effective trading.
  • High Liquidity: Precious metals, especially gold, are highly liquid assets, making trade execution seamless.
  • No Physical Storage Needed: Since CFDs do not involve owning physical metals, traders avoid issues related to storage, insurance, and security.
  • Advanced Trading Platforms: Access award-winning trading platforms with professional charting tools, market insights, and technical indicators.
  • 24/5 Trading Access: The metals market operates continuously from Monday to Friday, allowing traders to capitalize on global price movements at any time.

The price of gold and silver CFDs at CWG Markets is closely aligned with real-time prices from major global exchanges such as the London Metal Exchange (LME) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). These prices fluctuate due to various economic and geopolitical factors, including:

  • Global Economic Conditions: Precious metals are often seen as safe-haven assets. When economies are unstable or inflation is high, gold prices tend to rise.
  • Interest Rates: Lower interest rates generally increase the appeal of gold and silver, as they do not yield interest like other investments.
  • Supply and Demand: The mining output, industrial demand (especially for silver), and central bank reserves influence metal prices.
  • US Dollar Strength: Since gold and silver are priced in USD, a weaker dollar typically makes these metals more attractive to investors, driving prices up.

Getting started with CWG Markets is a simple process:

  • Open an Account: Sign up online and complete the registration process within minutes. You will need to provide basic personal information and verify your identity.
  • Fund Your Account: Deposit funds using secure payment methods, including bank transfers, credit/debit cards, or e-wallets.
  • Choose Your Trading Platform: Access CWG Markets’ MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platforms, known for their advanced tools and user-friendly interface.

Basic knowledge of Foreign Exchange

Forex is the abbreviation of foreign exchange; The act of exchanging one currency for another for a variety of reasons (usually trade, business, or travel). The purpose of foreign exchange traders is to make profits from the fluctuation of exchange rate. They study the political and economic environment and predict the future trend of the market.

The place where foreign exchange trading take place is what we call the forex market. The foreign exchange market is an international market. Trading in the market is completed by electronic over-the-counter (OTC) through the computer network of global traders rather than a centralized exchange.

1. The daily trading volume of forex market exceeds 8 trillion US dollars. No commodity market, futures market or stock exchange can compare with foreign exchange.

2. Foreign exchange trading opens 24 hours a day, opening on Mondays and closing on Fridays. The foreign exchange market allows market makers, banks, brokerage companies (such as CWG), independent brokers, investors and traders to buy and sell foreign exchange.

3. Foreign exchange quotation (price) is always changing, which will be influence by trading activities, economic and other indicators, interest, bank policies, specific time of day and traders' personal preferences and expectations.

4. Customers' trading will be executed on some easy-to-use trading platforms, such as MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader

CWG markets is a broker that provides high-quality trading services to customers all over the world. It provides customers with a convenient platform for trading, and at the same time provides extremely low spread. Low spread is always beneficial to customers.

The forex market is a decentralized international market. It is open five days a week and operates all day without geographical restrictions.

A currency pair can be defined as a combination of the currencies of two countries used to trade in the foreign exchange market. Currency pairs include URUSD、GBPJPY and NZDCAD

A currency pair without US dollar is a cross currency pair.

In a currency pair, the first currency is called 'base currency', and the second currency is called 'quotation currency'.

The selling price is the price at which the broker buys the first currency (base currency) from the client. In other words, the selling price refers to the price at which the customer sells the first currency (base currency) in the currency pair.

The buying price is the price at which the broker sells the first currency (base currency) in the currency pair to the customer. In other words, the buying price refers to the price at which the customer buys the first currency (base currency) in the currency pair.

To open a position at the buying price and close a position at the selling price.

The selling order is opened at the selling price and closed at the buying price.

Spread is the price difference between the buying price and the selling price of a certain trading variety, and it is also the main source of profit for market makers and brokers. The spread value is expressed as standard point. All accounts of CWG Markets provide floating spread.

The number of lots is the standard unit of trading. In general, a base currency with a standard lot equal to 100,000 units.

The contract unit is a fixed value representing the first-hand base currency. For most foreign exchange instruments, the contract unit is fixed at 100,000.

A standard point refers to the change of the fifth digit price after the decimal point, while the base point refers to the change of the fourth digit price after the decimal point.

In other word, 1 base point = 10 standard point.

For example, if the price is assumed to change from 1.11115 to 1.11135, the price will change to 2 basis points or 20 standard points.

The point unit is a fixed number indicating the position of the base point in the price of the trade variety.

For example, for most currency pair like EURUSD, the price is mostly in the form of 1.11115, with the base point at the fourth place after the decimal point, so the point unit is 0.0001.

Point value is the amount of money someone will earn or lose when the price changes by a base point. The calculation formula is as follows:

Point value = number of lots x contract unit X point unit.

Leverage is the ratio of net worth to borrowing capital. It has a direct impact on the margin required for trading varieties. Margin refers to the funds in account currency held by the broker to maintain the order position.

The higher the leverage, the lower the margin.

The balance represents the total financial result of the closing trading and the deposit and withdrawal operations on all accounts.

The net value is either the amount before you open any order or the amount after you close all orders.

In the case of open orders, the account balance will not change.

After placing an order, the net value can be obtained by combining the balance with the loss / profit of the order.

Net value = balance + / - profit / loss

I believe you also know that after placing an order, part of the fund needs to be used as a deposit. The remaining funds are called available margin.

Net value = margin + available margin

Profit and loss can be obtained by calculating the difference between the opening and closing prices of the order. Profit / loss = difference between opening and closing prices (based on base point) x point value Buying orders to get profit when price rises; When prices fall, the sales order will make profits. Loss on buying order when price falls; When the price rises, the sales order loses.

Margin ratio is the ratio of net worth to margin, expressed in%.

Contracts for Differences ('CFDs') products were developed to allow customers to enjoy all the benefits of holding a Stock, Index, ETF, Forex, Option or Commodity position without having to physically own the underlying instrument. A customer enters into a CFD at a quoted price, the difference between that price and the price of the CFD when the position is closed is settled in cash, hence the term 'Contract for Difference' or CFD
