What is a Trailing Stop?

A Trailing Stop is essentially a Stop Loss that automatically gets modified (changes the SL price) as the market price rises for Buy Orders or decreases for Sell Orders. The way it works is simpler than it probably sounds. Let’s assume that the price of EURUSD is 1.20010 and that you opened a Buy Order at that price. Adding a Trailing Stop of 10 Points will automatically add a SL on your position at 1.20010 once the market reaches the level of 1.20020 (1.20020 – 1.20010) = 10 points or 1 pip If the market goes even higher at 1.20030 then the SL will automatically be modified at 1.20020 and so on. While the market drops, the SL will not adjust or readjust itself. That only happens while the market is moving at your order’s direction. To place a trailing stop, right-click on the open position and select ‘Trailing Stop’, and then specify the required level for the trailing

What does the letter after the CFD (Futures) symbol mean?

Since CFD Futures are derivative contracts based on the Futures market, they carry some of the same characteristics, such as expiry or rollover dates. Each letter after the CFD symbol corresponds to a rollover or expiry month. So, based on the CFD in question, the months can be consecutive or periodic. For example, the symbol for Crude Light with December 2019 expiry is CL.Z9. – Energy CFDs expire monthly. On the other hand, the symbol for Dow Jones with March 2020 expiry is DJ.H20. – Index CFDs expire quarterly. You can check the full list of the CFDs we offer and their contract specifications,

What is the difference between Leverage and Margin requirement?

Leverage and Margin are similar in nature but state a different point of view. Leverage intends to show someone’s Buying power with a given amount of Funds, while Margin states the Funds needed to open or sustain a position open. Leverage – Example: With a 1:100 Leverage and 1,000 USD in your balance, you can open a trade with a size of 100 times bigger than your balance. In that case, you’re able to open a trade of 100,000 USD. Margin – Example: Margin is the amount needed in your balance to open a trade of a given Size. So, if you want to open a trade of 100,000 USD with a margin requirement of 1%, you then need to have at least 1,000 USD in your balance. Margin is stated as a percentage while Leverage is stated as a ratio, but they basically show the same thing. Leverage Margin 1:500 0.2% 1:200 0.5% 1:100 1% 1:50 2% 1:30 3.33% 1:10

What is the Spread and how does it affect my trade?

Spread is basically the difference between the ‘Buy’ Price and the ‘Sell’ Price. When a trader opens a trade at a specific price, he/she will be immediately in a losing position. This is due to the Spread. Buy Price: ASK Price Sell Price: BID Price Even at the Bank, where you intend to give 2,000 USD to get the equivalent amount in EUR, you must pay the Spread. This is clearly visible, by trying a second later, to exchange the EUR amount back to USD. You will realize that the amount you will get back from the real money exchange, is definitely less than 2,000 USD. With OneRoyal, you can enjoy very competitive

What is Market Execution?

Market execution means that all your trades are executed at the best available price in the market, at the time you take or close your order. This ensures you’re always filled at the next best available price – but that may not always be the price you requested. At times, you won’t be able to execute at your desired price, either because the price changed before your trade execution went through, or the size of your trade exceeds the volume available in the market at that price

What is forex trading?

Foreign exchange trading (also known as forex, or FX) is the buying and/or selling of one currency in relation to another. Given all currencies are priced differently, the price difference can make you a profit or a loss when the values of currencies change. The FX market is estimated to have a turnover value of over $5 trillion a day; which is quite a bit. Individuals, companies, banks, funds, and governments buy and sell global currencies all day every day until Friday – where the market closes at 22:00 GMT, and reopens on Sunday at 22:00 GMT. This $5 trillion turnover can be the result of import/export activities, hedging against currency risk, or speculating on the change of currency values. Given you can normally exchange currencies through an exchange office or bank, forex trading is not centralised in a major national exchange, like stocks and futures. Such setup makes it very flexible, customisable, and of course,
