What is an asset?

An asset is a financial instrument used for trading. All trades are based on the price dynamic of a chosen asset. There are different types of assets: goods (GOLD, SILVER), equity securities (Apple, Google), currency pairs (EUR/USD), and indices (CAC40, AES).

To choose an asset you want to trade on, follow these steps:

1. Click on the asset section in the top left corner of the platform to see what assets are available for your account type.

How to open a trade?

When you trade, you decide whether the price of an asset will go up or down and get additional profit if your forecast is correct.

To open a trade, follow these steps:

1. Select an account type. If your goal is to practice trading with virtual funds, choose a demo account. If you’re ready to trade with real funds, choose a real account.

2. Select an asset. The percentage next to the asset determines its profitability. The higher the percentage – the higher your profit in case of success.

Example. If a $10 trade with a profitability of 80% closes with a positive outcome, $18 will be credited to your balance. $10 is your investment, and $8 is a profit.

Some asset’s profitability may vary depending on the expiration time of a trade and throughout the day depending on the market situation.

All trades close with the profitability that was indicated when they were opened.
 

Please note that the income rate depends on the trading time (short – under 5 minutes or long – over 15 minutes).

3. Set the amount you’re going to invest. The minimum amount for a trade is $1, the maximum – $1000, or an equivalent in your account currency. We recommend you start with small trades to test the market and get comfortable.

4. Select an expiration time for a trade
Expiration time is the time to end the trade. There’s a lot of expiration time for you to choose: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, etc. It is safer for you to begin with a 5-minute time period, and 1$ for each trading investment.

Please note that you choose the time the trade will close, not its duration.
Example. If you chose 14:45 as your expiration time, the trade would close exactly at 14:45.

Also, there’s a line that shows the purchase time for your trade. You should pay attention to this line. It lets you know if you can open another trade. And the red line marks the end of the trade. At that time, you know the trade can get additional funds or can not get.

5. Analyze the price movement on the chart and make your forecast. Click on the green button if you think the price of an asset will go up, or the red button if you think it will go down.

6. Wait for the trade to close to find out whether your forecast was correct. If it was, the amount of your investment plus the profit from the asset would be added to your balance. In case of a tie – when the opening price equals the closing price – only the initial investment would be returned to your balance. If your forecast was incorrect – the investment would not be returned.

How to calculate trading turnover?

Trading turnover is the sum of all trades since the last deposit.
There are two cases when trading turnover is used:
  • You made a deposit and decided to withdraw funds before trading.
  • You used a bonus that implies a trading turnover.
In the first case, when you top your account and decide to withdraw before your trading turnover is double the amount you’ve deposited, there is a possibility of a 10% commission. To avoid this commission, you have to complete a trading turnover.

Example. A trader deposited $50. The amount of trading turnover for the trader will be $100 (double the deposit amount). When trading turnover is completed, a  trader can withdraw funds without commission.

In the second case, when you activate a bonus, you have to complete trading turnover to withdraw funds.
Trading turnover is calculated by this formula:

the amount of the bonus multiplied by its leverage factor.
A leverage factor can be:
  • Specified in the bonus.
  • If it’s not specified, then for bonuses that are less than 50% of the deposit amount, the leverage factor would be 35.
  • For the bonuses that are more than 50% of the deposit, it would be 40.
Example. A trader deposits $100 and uses a bonus for a 60% increase on the deposit. They will receive $60 in bonus funds. In this case, since the bonus exceeds 50% of the deposit, the leverage factor will be 40. The sum of trading turnover will be: $60 * 40 = $2,400.

Note. Both successful and unsuccessful trades count for trading turnover, but only the asset’s profitability is taken into account; investment is not included.
