Margin Policy
A margin call occurs, when your account falls below the minimum requirements for trading. At Forex Club our margin requirement is 1% of USD value of each positions. Monitoring of margin requirement is conducted after SWAP operation. If there is a margin call for your account you will be contacted by us, and we will help you take action to satisfy your margin.
Maximum leverage
- 100:1 for accounts from $10 to $100,000
- 50:1 for accounts from $100,000 to 200,000
- 20:1 for accounts over $200,000
- Minimum trade size is 1,000 which is equivalent to $10 traded with the maximum leverage ($10x100=1,000).
Leverage in a base currency
Leverage is offered in the base currency which means that each dollar in your trading account allows you to purchase up to 100 units of any currency. For example, if you have $1,000 in your account, you can buy 100,000 GBP/USD or 100,000 EUR/USD. Learn more
Orders
Available orders include Stop-Loss, Take Profit, OCO, and If Done. All orders are GTC (Good till Canceled). All orders may be placed no closer than 10 pips from the current market price.
Reversal of positions
Forex Club allows its customers to change the side of a position (long/short) without having to close it and fixing current P/L. For example, a day trader with an aggressive trading strategy and a deposit of $5,000 opens the following position: Buy 500,000 GBP/USD (LONG). A few moments later he decides to reverse his position (to go SHORT) in the same currency pair and for the same amount. Forex Club will allow him to sell double the amount of a current position (1,000,000 GBP/USD) to change the position to Sell 500,000 GBP/USD (SHORT). The opening rate of this altered position will be calculated in accordance to spread charges and any P/L the original position made. Learn more
SWAPs
Forex trading is a SPOT trading, which means that all trades are settled on the second business day after your position has been opened. SWAP operation is used to avoid the physical delivery of a currency. In essence, in the end of each trading day, all positions are closed and immediately re-opened at SWAP price. SWAP is executed automatically at 21:00 GMT.
In your trading report, you will see two lines: closing of position (SWAP t/n) and opening of the same position (SWAP open). Re-opening rate will be adjusted for SWAP pips. SWAP pips are determined by the interest rate for currencies that are used in the position. You can find our exact values of SWAP pips below.
Value date (date of delivery of currency) for trades carried from Wednesday to Thursday is Monday. Hence, SWAP pips will be calculated for three days.
