MarginFX spreads and
conditions...
1) Target Bid/Ask spreads
Our target bid / ask spreads listed are our
best possible target spreads used in normal market conditions.
In quiet market conditions, the spread may be even narrower but
in periods of volatile markets, the spread may be increased and
autoexecution disabled. For certain categories of clients, the
spreads may in general be wider by up to 2 pips. The spreads
applicable to your account will be displayed in your Spectrum Live Trading Platform. Please consult your Introducing Broker or Spectrum Live to obtain further information about our spread range and
its implications to your account.
2) Margin Requirements
Margin FX is traded on margin enabling
you to leverage a small margin deposit for a much greater market
effect. Margin rates are higher over the weekends. Weekend
margin rates apply from 17:OO on Friday to 19:OO on Sunday GMT
and on non-banking days.
Note: Margin rates are higher over the
weekends. Weekend margin rates apply from 16:00 on Friday to
17:00 on Sunday GMT and on non-banking days .
3) Autoexecuted trades
Major currency trades can be autoexecuted
for amounts below the autoexecution limit. Autoexecuted trades
are automatically accepted without intervention from the bank.
For trade sizes over the autoexecute limit and in volatile
market conditions, the trade must first be approved by a dealer
which normally takes just a few seconds.
*Note that these are typical autoexecute
limits that can change over the day, depending on the market
conditions and available liquidity.
4) Ticket fees for low-value trades
For Margin FX trades below the Ticket
Fee Threshold listed, a small ticket fee of USD 10 is added to
the trade to cover administration costs.
Margin calls
You must maintain the margins listed in your
account at all times. If the funds in your account fall below
this margin, you will be subject to a margin call to either
deposit more funds to cover your positions or close positions —
normally you will be notified through our trading platform and
via email. If your margin situation is not remedied, we may
close positions on your behalf.
