Frequently Asked Questions (Trading & Platform)
How Do I Place a Trade
Trades can be placed by selecting an instrument from Market Watch, choosing Buy or Sell, entering the trade volume, setting optional Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, and confirming the order.
What Is Leverage
Leverage allows traders to control larger positions using a smaller amount of capital. Leverage levels vary based on account type, regulatory requirements, and active promotions.
What Is a Margin Call
A margin call occurs when the account’s margin level falls below a defined threshold, indicating insufficient equity to maintain open positions. Traders may be required to add funds or close positions.
What Is Stop-Out
Stop-out is an automatic process where the platform closes open positions when the margin level reaches a critical low level to prevent further losses.
Why Was My Order Rejected

-
Insufficient margin
-
Invalid trade volume
-
Market closure
-
Rapid price changes or slippage
The platform usually displays an error message explaining the reason.
