This is one of the most frequently asked questions. The difficult part in understanding ECN and STP meanings is that those have been interpreted differently by many people. There are three main business models used by Forex brokers which differ by the way the transactions are handled and orders are executed: ECN, STP and Market Makers.

ECN: ECN stands for 'Electronic Communication Network' which is simply a technical term that is used to describe how banks and liquidity providers connect to each other to form a bid and offer price. In the Forex industry, it can be used to identify providers who use this type of pricing mechanism in order to offer raw interbank pricing to retail traders. Under this model your broker will stream raw prices and your trades will be offset with another client, a liquidity provider or held internally by the broker. This usually results in faster trade execution. This is distinct from order execution that may result in an offsetting order placed with a liquidity provider.

STP: This term stands for 'Straight Through Processing' and is used when a Forex and CFD provider processes all trades at market prices obtained from a liquidity provider, this price is simply passed on by the broker. This is not dissimilar to the ECN pricing model in that the price is not altered and there is no dealing desk intervention when the trade is processed, hence it is known as STP.

IC Markets Global is the issuer of the products it provides. We consider ourselves to be a forex provider offering the ECN pricing model as we source our pricing from external unrelated liquidity providers , these prices are passed onto you with no dealing desk intervention. In order to provide you with better price certainty and to ensure fast execution speed we do not offset each and every position with our liquidity providers. We do this in order to provide you with a better overall trading experience.

Forex brokers use three main business models which differ in the way the transactions are handled and orders are executed: ECN, STP and Market Makers.

ECN: ECN stands for 'Electronic Communication Network', which is simply a technical term that is used to describe how banks and liquidity providers connect to each other to form bid and offer prices. In the Forex industry, it can be used to identify providers who use this type of pricing mechanism in order to offer raw interbank pricing to retail traders. Under this model your broker will stream raw prices and your trades will be offset with another client or liquidity provider, or held internally by the broker. This usually results in faster trade execution. This is distinct from order execution, which may result in an offsetting order placed with a liquidity provider.

STP: This term stands for 'Straight Through Processing' and is used when a Forex and CFD provider process all trades at market prices obtained from a liquidity provider. This price is simply passed on by the broker. This is not dissimilar to the ECN pricing model in that the price is not altered and there is no dealing desk intervention when the trade is processed; hence, it is known as STP.

Market Maker: Typically, market makers operate a dealing desk in order to create their own prices. These prices can be based on their own proprietary trading positions or overall risk exposure and may not reflect the prices in the underlying market.

IC Markets Global is the issuer of the products it provides. We consider ourselves to be a Forex provider offering the ECN pricing model as we source our pricing from external unrelated liquidity providers. These prices are passed on to you with no dealing desk intervention. In order to provide you with better price certainty and to ensure fast execution speed, we do not hedge each and every position with our liquidity providers. We do this in order to provide you with a better overall trading experience.

When you trade with us, you are trading with IC Markets Global as principle, this is the case with all Forex and CFD providers globally.
We do not operate a proprietary trading book, we source our prices from external unrelated liquidity providers or directly, these prices are then passed onto you with no dealing desk intervention.

IC Markets Global streams prices from its liquidity providers, who, in their turn, derive those prices from the market (or exchange) in the case of share CFDs; and from banks and non-bank liquidity providers in the case of Forex. The source of the underlying market price may vary for each product.
Although IC Markets Global's prices come from its liquidity providers and IC Market is not practically involved in the making of the price, it is simply streaming prices which it receives; the prices nonetheless become IC Markets Global's when it provides them to clients to execute on. This is the case for all derivative products which IC Markets Global offers to its clients.

If you trade 100,000 (1.00)
Commission is $3.50 for opening, and $3.50 for closing; $7.00 for the full round-turn

If you trade 10,000 (0.10)
Commission is $0.35 for opening, and $0.35 for closing; $0.70 for the full round-turn

If you trade 1,000 (0.01)
Commission is $0.035 for opening, and $0.035 for closing; $0.070 for the full round-turn

On MetaTrader 4 all commission charge for a position is applied at the opening of the trade.

On MetaTrader 5 commission is charged per side (opening/closing).

*On MetaTrader 5 the commission column is not rounded up to 3 decimal places but to 2 decimal places only. Thus, commission on a micro lot size $0.035 per side is rounded to $0.04

IC Markets Global is the issuer of the products it provides. Our Securities Dealer License allows us to make a market; however, we consider ourselves to be a CFD provider offering the ECN pricing model as we do not operate a proprietary trading book and source our pricing from external unrelated liquidity providers. These prices are then passed on to you with no dealing desk intervention. In order to provide you with better price certainty and to ensure fast execution speed, we do not offset each and every single position with our liquidity providers.

When you trade with us you are trading on prices streamed from our Liquidity providers which are ECN prices. IC Markets Global does not have a dealing desk that creates its own prices. We do not alter the price in any way, thus our pricing is considered to be “True ECN”.

Yes, we may Hedge some or all of your trades to help manage our overall risk.

We manage our overall risk based on our internal Hedging Policy.

The prices we offer are streamed by bank and non-bank liquidity providers.

IC Markets Global's Securities Dealer License allows us to make markets, this is the case for all CFD and Forex providers globally. We are not a broker to you but a Forex and CFD issuer. Simply put, acting as a principal to your trades, we are the sole counterparty that allows you to access prices streamed from our liquidity providers that supply IC Markets Global with the bank and non-bank pricing.


Technically, when you buy a product at IC Markets Global, we are selling that product to you. It is not possible for you to buy that product at the exchange directly to complete the transaction due to the attached requirements for higher trade sizes, and margin costs, etc., thus, it has to be dealt with IC Markets Global on a principal basis alone.


Typically, market makers are considered to be Forex and CFD providers who operate a dealing desk in order to create their own prices, these prices can be based on their own proprietary trading positions or overall risk exposure and may not reflect the prices in the underlying market.

All conflicts of interest can be found in our Terms & Conditions

Everything is the same as it has always been. We believe you’re referencing to one of our account types which we have recently rebranded to “Raw Spread” account.
The reason why we are one of the largest and most successful Forex CFD provider in the world is our Tight and Low Spread. Therefore we decided to communicate our strengths even better with this new account name. Nothing else changed. We decided to keep our product offerings as simple as possible for our clients to understand what exactly they’ll be receiving.

1.0 Pips on Raw Spread account. Detailed information can be found on our Spreads page here: https://www.icmarkets.com/global/en/trading-pricing/spreads

0.1 Pips on Raw Spread account. Detailed information can be found on our Spreads page here: https://www.icmarkets.com/global/en/trading-pricing/spreads

We do not have a dealing desk, we are not involved in creating the prices that we show you. IC Markets Global offer its clients with a market execution model. This means all the trades are executed at the first available price received from our hedge counterparties once an order has been triggered. Thus, we are not able to offer guaranteed executions exactly at your requested prices, we are simply streaming the prices that we receive.

The current swap rates can be found our Blog Swap Rates page here: https://www.icmarkets.com/blog/metatrader-4-swaps/
Swap rates can also be found within the MetaTrader 4 platform, simply go to the market watch and right click on an instrument and select Specifications. A new window will then open and the swap rates will be displayed.

Yes, we do offer Oil as a spot and future commodity CFD product. More information can be found here: https://www.icmarkets.com/global/en/trading-markets/CFDs on Commodities

Forex CFD providers apply triple rollover interest on Wednesday, because that's how it's applied by the banks providing liquidity to the FX market.This is because spot forex trades have a 2-day settlement period. A spot FX trade from Monday settles on Wednesday. A trade from Tuesday settles on Thursday. A trade from Wednesday settles on Friday, but a trade from Thursday settles on the following Monday.
The trade has to be rolled through the weekend, because banks are closed on Saturday and Sunday. Triple rollover interest is applied to FX trades open at 5pm New York Time on Wednesday, because that marks the beginning of the new 24-hour trading day (Thursday) in the global FX market. Important to note that, it's not always a charge and you can also earn.

IC Markets Global offers over +2100 Stocks CFDs. The full list can be found on our Stocks CFD product page.

A dividend adjustment is applied to take account of the ex-dividend adjustment to the index. This is the number of points by which the index price must be adjusted downwards to take account of those shares in the index which go ex-dividend at the close of the cash market. We will use the ex-dividend figure estimated by Bloomberg (E&OE), rounded to the tick size we use for that index, to determine what adjustment to apply. In the case of long positions, the dividend adjustment is credited to the client's account. In the case of short positions, the dividend adjustment is debited from the client's account.

This could possible be due to the below reasons:
- Refering to BID prices in the case of a Sell position;
- Refering to the chart prices only and not refering to the prices with set mark ups in the case of Buy positions under a Standard account.

Questions sur le marché Forex

Le Forex ou le 'marché des changes', est le plus important marché financier au monde, avec un turnover quotidien moyen autour de 3$ trillions USD. Le trading Forex est l'achat simultané d'une devise et la vente d'une autre. Le prix des devises est flottant et dépend de l'offre et de la demande. Le Forex est toujours négocié en paires, par exemple EUR/USD ou AUD/USD.

Faire de l'argent dans le trading forex implique d'acheter bas et de revendre haut ou de vendre haut et d'acheter bas en retour, en utilisant le levier qui vous permet de déposer un plus petit montant d'argent pour atteindre le même pouvoir d'achat que si vous aviez acheté et vendu directement.

Dans cet exemple Mary dépose 5,000$ sur son compte de trading forex et choisit un levier de 1:100. Mécaniquement, le pouvoir d'achat de Mary passe de 5,000$ à 500,000$. Mary décide d'ACHETER 0.1 lots de AUD/USD au prix de 0.99802, 3 ans plus tard le prix de l'AUD/USD est 1.04069 et Mary décide de clôturer sa position. Le profit de Mary est calculé (1.04069 – 0.99802) 426 pips. Quand Mary a ouvert une position de 0.1 lots elle a fait un profit de 426$ ou $1 par pip.

Bien sûr si l'AUD/USD avait bougé contre Mary sous le prix d'ouverture de son trade au niveau de 0.97802 Mary aurait subi une perte de (0.99802 – 0.95542) 426 pips. Comme les positions de Mary étaient de 0.1 lots Mary aurait subi une perte de 426$ ou 1$ par pip.

On dit que le Forex est l'un des marchés les plus équitables et les plus transparents sur terre et c'est en grande partie à cause du nombre important de participants au marché, l'ampleur et le nombre de transactions. Aucun pays ou banque ne peut entièrement contrôler la direction d'une devise.

Le marché Forex n'est pas localisé, contrairement aux marchés actions et Futures, le Forex n'est pas négocié sur un échange mais de gré à gré (OTC) sans échange entre les banques, gouvernements, fonds spéculatifs et investisseurs privés. Le marché Forex est ouvert 24h/24 5 jours par semaine.

les principaux participants au marché Forex sont les banques centrales, banques commerciales et d'investissement, cependant ces dernières années l'émergence de l'accessibilité internet aux marchés Forex a explosé entraînant la hausse du nombre de participants. Ces participants quotidiens incluent aussi de grandes sociétés multinationales, gestionnaires de portefeuille, courtiers inscrits, agents de change et investisseurs privés.

Le marché Forex est un marché ininterrompu, le trading débute à Wellington, Nouvelle-Zélande puis fait le tour du globe en fonction des jours ouvrables de chaque place financière. Les principales places financières mondiales où la plupart du trading forex se passe sont Tokyo, Londres et New-York. Le marché forex ouvre le dimanche à 10:00pm (GMT) et clôture le vendredi à 10:00pm (GMT).

Les paires de devises les plus liquides sont celles des pays politiquement stables et où les banques centrales sont respectées. Les paires de devises les plus populaires sont celles couplées avec le dollar US, on les appelle les ‘majeures’ et comptent à peu près pour 85% des transactions. Les paires les plus courantes sont EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CHF et USD/CAD.

Il existe de nombreux aspects techniques et fondamentaux pouvant entraîner un mouvement du taux de change. Les influences les plus notables incluent les taux d'intérêt, l'inflation et la stabilité politique. Des fois les gouvernements achètent ou vendent une devise afin d'orienter sa valeur dans le but d'avoir un effet plus important sur l'économie du pays. Cela est connu comme l'intervention de la banque centrale et peut avoir un impact conséquent sur la valeur de la monnaie. Etant donné le nombre et la diversité des participants, un facteur unique ne suffit pas à influencer le marché forex et ce, quelle que soit la durée.

Il existe de nombreuses stratégies de gestion du risque utilisées par les traders Forex. La forme la plus courante de gestion du risque est le stop loss et la limite. Les ordres stop loss orders peuvent être définis sur la plateforme MetaTrader 4 et sont utilisés pour forcer la clôture d'une position à un prix prédéterminé afin de limiter les pertes. L'ordre limite fonctionne à peu près de la même manière que le stop loss, cependant il autorise de placer une restriction sur le prix maximum payé.

Les traders Forex utilisent une variété de stratégies de trading basées sur l'analyse technique et fondamentale. Aujourd'hui, le trading technique est devenu plus populaire et les traders utilisent de nombreux indicateurs techniques tels que les lignes de tendance, les niveaux de support et de résistance et beaucoup d'autres méthodes pour identifier les opportunités de trading à moyen terme. Certains traders choisissent d'utiliser l'analyse fondamentale qui tourne autour de l'interprétation des données économiques incluant les annonces, rapports gouvernementaux et parfois même la rumeur. Malgré tout, ce sont souvent des éléments extérieurs à l'analyse technique et fondamentale qui sont responsables des conséquences les plus dramatiques sur les prix des devises, cela inclut les événements tels que l'intervention des banques centrales, changement des taux d'intérêt, changement politique ou même la guerre.

Non, le trading forex n'a jamais été bon marché et plus accessible. Les traders peuvent à présent négocier sur des cotations de qualité avec un dépôt de 200$ et un levier jusqu'à 500:1. Il est cependant essentiel de se rappeler que malgré l'idée que le trading avec levier puisse maximiser vos profits, il peut aussi amplifier vos pertes.

  • Double click the ‘MQL4’ folder and then open the ‘Experts’ folder.

As you are trading leveraged CFD products, you can invest more than the balance you have in the account, thus the losses are magnified too. If you trade on leverage, then the face value of your trading position is more than the amount you have in your trading account. Therefore, if the market moves against your trade significantly, it could make your account balance negative.
With IC Markets Global, the margin call level is 100% and the stop out level is 50%. This means that, as soon as the margin level drops to 100%, you will see a margin call that is an indication to take an appropriate measure on the account by either reducing the exposure or funding the account further. If the margin level drops further to or below 50% system will automatically start closing out positions to bring back the margin level to a reasonable level.

We can assist you in clearing your negative balance. Please contact our Client Relations department at rm@icmarkets.com

They are both established platforms in the industry. Though MetaTrader 4 has been around longer and is still the most popular amongst traders, cTrader is cutting edge technology and has several additional features to the MetaTrader4. We would recommend you demo both platforms to see which one you prefer and suits your trading style. Some of the key differences are the user interface, the advanced take profit and stop loss systems, detachable charts, varying chart time frames, live sentiment and depth of market displayed by default. There is also a vast range of custom indicators and Expert Advisors readily available for MetaTrader4.
Commissions have slight differences, but all other aspects are pretty much the same.

  1. too many indicators installed and used on charts
  2. too many charts opened same time
  3. any extra software, such as EA
  4. small RAM on your PC
  5. large influx in the amount of data being received at your platform

There is no right or wrong platform, however, choosing the most suitable one entirely depends on the features that you are seeking as well as your own experience of the platform itself. It is always good that you test the available platforms and determine what suits you best

cTrader is a recently released retail trading platform. There are a number of features that are the same as MetaTrader 4 in cTrader, however as it is a more recent platform, built by traders, there are some additional features which might help the trading community. Some of the key differences are the user interface, the advanced take profit and stop loss systems, detachable charts, varying chart time frames, live sentiment and depth of market displayed by default, ability to show units or lot sizes, readily available onscreen calculations.

To minimise the risk of freezing it is advisable to use the fastest possible internet connection and top possible hardware specifications. Hosting your platform on a VPS instead of your local hard drive would also minimise such occurences.

Questions sur le trading Forex en ligne

Sur le Forex, le spread est la différence entre le prix BID et ASK. Afin d'‘être long’ vous devez passer un ordre d'ACHAT et négocier sur le prix ASK, si vous avez prévu d'‘être court’ vous passez un ordre de VENTE et négociez sur le prix BID.

IC Markets Global a deux types de compte, un compte standard et notre vrai compte ECN leader du marché. IC Markets Global n'impute pas de commission sur les comptes standards mais majore le spread de 0.8 pip au-dessus du taux interbancaire émanant de nos fournisseurs de liquidité. Le vrai compte ECN IC Markets Global offre le spread brut interbancaire émanant de nos fournisseurs de liquidité, sur ce compte la commission est de 7$ par lot standard.

IC Markets Global supporte le trading de micro lots. Sur MetaTrader 4, un micro lot représente 0.01 équivalent à 1000 unités de la devise de base.

Le trading internet sur MetaTrader 4, la plateforme de trading mondial la plus populaire est simple. Une fois que vous avez téléchargé et installé la plateforme de trading, connectez-vous et double cliquez sur instrument sur l'écran d'observation du marché. Sur le ticket d'ordre qui apparaît, entrez le volume de trading désiré puis cliquez sur ‘achat marché’ ou ‘vente marché’, un ordre d'exécution au marché sera alors traité. La plateforme MetaTrader 4 remplira automatiquement votre ordre s'il y a suffisamment de fonds sur votre compte de trading. Votre position ouverte apparaîtra sur le terminal de trading et le profit / perte et la marge seront calculées en temps réel selon le mouvement du prix.

La marge est la somme d'argent requise sur votre compte afin d'ouvrir une position. La marge est calculée en se basant sur le prix actuel de la devise de base face à l'USD, la taille (volume) de la position et le levier appliqué à votre compte de trading. Si vous n'avez pas suffisamment de capital disponible vous ne pourrez pas ouvrir de position sur la plateforme de trading. Le montant de marge libre affiché sur la plateforme de trading est le montant que vous pouvez utiliser si vous souhaitez ouvrir d'autres positions.

La marge est calculée en utilisant la formule suivante:

Marge requise = (prix actuel du marché x Volume) / Levier du compte

En pratique cela serait calculé comme suit:
Si une position ouverte de 0.1 (10000) sur EUR/USD prix actuel du marché à 1.35645 et que votre compte a un levier de 1:400 vous calculeriez la marge requise comme suit:
(1.35645 x 10000) / 400 = $33.91

Dans cet exemple la marge sur cette position serait de 33.91$, donc afin d'ouvrir une position de cette taille vous auriez besoin d'au moins 33.91$ de marge libre sur votre compte de trading.

MetaTrader 4 autorise les ordres en attente. Les ordres en attente sont stockés sur le serveur et sont exécutés lorsque les conditions fixées sont toutes remplies.

MetaTrader 4 autorise les ordres stop suiveurs qui peuvent être introduits à partir du terminal de trading.

Si vous n'avez pas de marge disponible, vos positions seront stoppées, dans certains cas, si la perte sur les positions stoppées excède votre solde de compte, vous serez en découvert.

Le niveau d'appel de marge d'IC Markets Global est à 100%, cela veut dire que vous recevrez un appel de marge quand votre capital sera à 100% de la marge requise sur vos positions ouvertes. Le capital est calculé comme suit (Solde + Profit/perte ouverts).

Le niveau de marge stop out d'IC Markets Global est à 50%, cela signifie que si votre marge disponible chute sous la barre de 50%, vos positions seront automatiquement clôturées. MetaTrader 4 les clôturera automatiquement en partant de la plus importante position perdante jusqu'à la plus petite.

Le niveau de marge stop out est calculé en utilisant la formule suivante.
Niveau de marge = capital / marge utilisée x 100%
= niveau de marge%

Exemple de travail
La marge d'un compte de trading est de 10,000$ USD (capital) avec 1 lot standard sur USD/JPY et un levier de 100 serait calculé ainsi:
= 10,000 / 1,000 x 100%
= 1000% niveau de marge
Si la position se déplace en votre défaveur et que votre capital chute à 5,000$ le calcul serait:

= 5,000 / 1,000 x 100%
= 500% niveau de marge

Si la position se déplace encore plus en votre défaveur et que le capital chute à 499$ la position serait stoppée car le niveau de marge aurait chuté sous les 100%.
= 499 / 1,000 x 100%
= 49.9% niveau de marge

Dans cTrader, le Smart Stop Out logic a été conçu pour fournir un maximum de protection aux comptes des traders. Ce logique remplacera le Stop Out logique équitable de cTrader’s car il offre aux utilisateurs des avantages conséquents grâce à un algorithme beaucoup plus avancé.

Si le niveau de marge chute sous le niveau du Smart Stop Out, les positions commenceront à être partiellement clôturées jusqu'à ce que le niveau de marge passe au-dessus du Smart Stop Out. La logique du Smart Stop Out ne clôturera que le nécessaire dans les positions les plus importantes afin de restaurer sûrement le niveau de marge et de protéger aussi longtemps que possible la position en elle-même, le point d'entrée de la position et le compte de trading.

Pour en savoir plus: http://www.icmarkets.com/ctrader-smart-stop-out/

Une position ‘longue’ équivaut à entrer dans une transaction d'ACHAT, à l'inverse une position ‘courte’ équivaut à entrer dans une transaction de VENTE.
A titre d'exemple si vous ACHETEZ 1 lot standard lot ou 100,000 unités EUR contre USD vous entrez sur une position ‘longue’. Et si vous vendez 1 lot standard lot de 100,000 unités AUD contre USD vous entrez sur une position ‘courte’.

Nos plateformes MetaTrader 4 et cTrader sont configurées pour clôturer automatiquement vos positions lorsque vos exigences de marge atteignent 100% (niveau stop out). Ce processus est automatisé et n'est pas une garantie que votre compte connaîtra pas de solde négatif. Nous vous recommandons de toujours garder un solde positif et supérieur à votre marge requise. Si le niveau de stop est atteint, un ordre au marché est déclenché pour clôturer toutes vos positions ouvertes au prochain prix de marché disponible.

Des événements tels les chevauchements de marchés dans le week-end ou lors des principales vacances où la liquidité est maigre peut augmenter les chances que vos positions soient stoppées et que votre solde passe en négatif. Nous vous conseillons d'utiliser des ordres stop loss pour limiter votre risque et de surveiller régulièrement le niveau de marge de votre compte. Vous serez tenu responsable de tout solde négatif sur votre compte de trading.

Slippage is an inherent part of financial markets. Whether you are trading Stocks, Futures, CFDs on Commodities or Forex you will be subject to slippage. When you place a market order you are requesting your order to be filled at the current markets prices however if the market has moved between the time you place your order and the time it has been filled your order may be filled at a different price. Slippage can increase when markets become volatile such as over new releases, you should keep this in mind when trading outside of normal market conditions.

Stop Loss orders when triggered enter the market as market orders, therefore their is no guarantee that your order will be filled at the price you place your stop loss.

Sur MetaTrader 4, les graphiques reflètent seulement le prix 'Bid', le prix 'Ask' n'est pas affiché.

A market order is submitted at the current market price, however it may not necessarily execute at the price requested. The trader executes this order with a volume and price offered by the broker. You will get filled at the next best available bid/ask for the volume you are trading.

The trader may execute using a pending order if they expect the market to go up or down but don’t wish to enter until a certain price level is reached; the order will not be filled if price does not reach this level.
A pending order is broken up into six types:
  • Buy Limit
  • Sell Limit
  • Buy Stop
  • Sell Stop
  • Buy Stop Limit
  • Sell Stop Limit

An instruction from an investor to a broker to buy a certain amount of an asset. Buy orders may take various forms. For example, an investor may instruct the broker to buy immediately at the best available price, or to wait until a certain price is reached. A buy order opens at Ask Price and closes at Bid price.

An instruction from an investor to a broker to sell a certain amount of an asset. Sell orders may take various forms. For example, an investor may instruct the broker to sell immediately at the best available price, or to wait until a certain price is reached. A sell order opens at Bid Price and closes at Ask price.

Buy limit orders are placed when a trader wishes to buy, or go long below the current market price. When the market dips and touches the requested price, a buy limit order is executed. The Buy Limit order is executed if the Ask Price on the platform drops to a level that's equal to or lower than the specified buy limit price.

Sell limit orders are placed when a trader wishes to sell, or go short above the current market price. When the market rises and touches the requested price, a sell limit order is executed.The Sell Limit order is executed if the Bid Price on the platform rises to a level that's equal to or higher than the specified sell limit price.

Buy stop orders are placed when a trader wishes to buy, or go long above the current market price. The Buy Stop order is executed once the Ask price is equal to or higher than the specified "Stop" price.

Sell Stop orders are placed when a trader wishes to sell, or go short below the current market price. The Sell Stop order is executed once the Bid price is equal to or lower than the specified "Stop" price.

The stop-limit order will be executed at a specified price, or better, after a given stop price has been reached. Once the stop price is reached, the stop-limit order becomes a limit order to buy or sell at the limit price or the next best available price.

A trailing stop is a type of stop loss order attached to a trade that moves as the price fluctuates. It is designed to lock in profits or limit losses as a trade moves favorably by a certain amount of pips as set by the investor.
Key point to note is that trailing stops only move if the price moves favorably. Once it moves to lock in a profit or reduce a loss, it doesn't move back the other way.

IC Markets Global's MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader platforms handle hedged positions differently. On the MetaTrader4/MetaTrader 5 platform, if the account is perfectly hedged and does not require any margin, the positions will remain open. However, in the case of the cTrader platform, the margin is required for the direction carrying the higher volume and margin requirements, irrespective of whether the overall position of the account is perfectly hedged.

Please note that different hedge margin level and settings may be applied to different products and platforms. The option to hedge a position while in negative Free Margin may not be available across our full product offering. We suggest you make yourself fully aware of the product specifications of the instruments you are trading or intend to trade. We recommend establishing a demo account to familiarise yourself with the Hedging Mechanics and associated risks.

For further clarification, please contact our support team.

You are liable to pay Margin before the CFD is issued and you may be required to pay more Margin before a CFD is closed.

Backup codes are one-time use codes designed to authenticate users when other forms of 2FA, like Authenticator or Phone Verification, are unavailable or inconvenient.

You can easily generate or manage your backup codes on our Client Area on the 2FA page by toggling the Backup Code option.

Backup codes are useful when alternative 2FA methods are not feasible or accessible, providing a secure way to sign in to your account.

No, Backup codes are single-use only. Each set typically contains 10 codes, and each code can be used only once for authentication.

For security, we advise storing your backup codes in a secure place for easy and secured access when needed.

Simply log in to your Client Area, visit the 2FA section, and regenerate new codes by toggling the Backup Code option. You'll receive a new set of 10 codes upon download.

If you've lost access to your codes and cannot sign in, reach out to our Customer Support team for assistance. Once access is restored, you can generate new codes via the 2FA page.
