    • 4.6 What is “Bid” and “Ask” (offer)?

      This is a buy and sell price on the quotes you see, when you open or close an order. The difference between the two prices is called the Spread. All the charts in trading terminal are shown at "Bid" price. You can set up your terminal to show Ask price as well. To do that, kindly press F8 on the chart window and in the tab “General” put a tick “Show Ask Line”. "Buy" orders are opened under the price "Ask" and the closed under the price "Bid". "Sell" orders are opened under the price "Bid" and the closed under the price "Ask".

    • 4.7 What is «Stop loss» (S/L) and «Take profit» (T/P)?

      A «Stop loss» is an order, which can be put either upon opening the position, or after it is already opened. The goal of this order is to minimize loss, i.e. after the price reaches the set value, your position will be automatically closed with a fixed loss. Or with a profit if you set your S/L into zero value. A «Take profit» is basically the same order, but working in a reverse way, i.e. after the price reaches the set value, your position will be automatically closed with a fixed profit. For instance: as you open a long position (long means buy), you open a buy position up at Ask price, and close it at Bid price. In this case you can set “Stop loss” under Bid price and “Take profit” over Ask price. Subsequently, as you open a short position (short means sell), you open a sell position at Bid price, and close it at Ask price. In this case you can set “Stop loss” over Ask price and “Take profit” under Bid price. Now let’s assume you want to Buy 1 lot EUR/USD. You open a new order, request the current quote, select the required currency pair, enter the volume in lots, set the S/L and T/P (if needed) and press “Buy”. You have bought at Ask price 1.2453, which means Bid at that time was 1.2450 (spread is 3 points). A “Stop loss” order can be set under 1.2450. If you set it at 1.2400, it means that if the Bid price reaches 1.2400 your order will be automatically closed with a 53 points loss. A “Take profit” order can be set over 1.2453. If you set it at 1.2500, it means that if the Bid price reaches 1.2500 your order will be automatically closed with a 47 point profit.

    • 4.8 A stop loss order was hit, while there was no such price on chart

      This question often arises among beginners in "Sell" positions. It happens because the trader doesn’t take spread into consideration. Upon "Sell" order opening, the open price is "Bid" and the same price is shown on the chart. "Sell" order close price is "Ask", i.e. "Bid" price + spread. You can set up your terminal to show "Ask" price as well. To do so, press F8 on the chart window and in “General” tab put a tick “Show Ask Line”.

    • 4.9 What are pending orders “Stop” and “Limit”? How do they work

      These are orders which are opened when the price reaches the value set in the orders. A Buy/Sell Limit is executed only when the market price is (or is better) than the price set in the order. Buy Limit is usually placed under the current market price and Sell Limit is placed above the current market price.
      Buy/Sell Stop is executed only when the market price is (or is worse) than the price set in the order. Buy Stop is usually placed above the current market price, and Sell Stop is placed under the current market price

    • 4.10 What are the conditions for S/L, T/P, Stop and Limit orders?

      For all currency pairs the order price must differ from the current market price (Bid or Ask, depending on the order direction) for at least a size of spread. You can not place any pending order closer to the current market price than it is stated in the «contracts specification» see "Stop&Limit"

    • 4.11 What is “volume” in New Order menu and how is it calculated

      Volume is a size of an order and is measured in lots. For lot size please refer to trading tools. You can calculate your available volume with a «trader’s calculator».

    • 4.12 "New order" button is inactive.

    • 4.15 I can’t log into my account, I keep getting “No connection” error. What should I do?

      Possible reasons:

      1) You have no internet connection
      2) When using MetaTrader terminal at your workplace, it is quite likely that you are connected to the Internet via a firewall or a proxy-server. If so, try to activate operating through SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy servers in the settings: «Tools -> Options -> Server -> Proxy». In the worst case, ask your system administrator to open port 443 or to set up the mapping of the port for access to the trade server.
      3) Antivirus Firewall software blocks port 443. In this case you should enter MetaTrader in the list of the allowed programs or open port 443;

    • 4.16 What is the terminal time

      In the “Market watch” window the time is GMT +3. You can’t change it.

    • 4.17 I can’t trade. When I try to open an order, I get "Trade stream busy" message. What should I do

      This message appears when a trade operation has failed (e.g. when you try to open a new order, when the previous one is not yet processed), due to server connection failure. To erase the query queue it is necessary to reboot your terminal.

    • 4.18 Why did the account history disappear

      If you don’t see account history in your terminal, please do the following: 1. Check your PC system date and time.

      2. Right-click the account history tab and select “All history”. This way you can also see the history for any period

    • 4.19 How do I calculate the point price?

      You can use «trader’s calculator». There is also a formula, which looks like:

      The cost of the point in deposit currency:

      (Cross-rate of the currency of the order to USD) х (order volume in lots) х 100000 х (point) / (current rate)
      where currency of the order is the first currency in the currency pair.

      EURJPY=162,30; EURUSD=1,4344;
      Point price (EURJPY) = 1.4344 х 1 х 100000 х 0.01 / 162.3 = 8.83

      The cost of the point for CFD:

      Volume (Volume in lots) х contract size х minimal price deviation

    • 4.20 How do I calculate required margin for order opening?

      You can use «trader’s calculator». There is also a formula which looks like:

      Currency pairs ***/USD (direct quote) Volume (in base currency units) / leverage x open position moment rate = margin

      Currency pairs USD/*** (reverse quote) Volume (in base currency units) / leverage = margin
      Cross pairs ***/***

      Margin = (lot volume) x (lot) x (current rate of the first currency of the currency pair to USD) / (leverage)

      E.g for 1 lot EURJPY: Margin = 100000 x 1 x 1.3460 / 200

      Indices:
      For all indices margin for each lot at 1:200 leverage is 500, at 1:100 leverage is 1000

      CFD: Open price x Volume / 20 = margin


      What commission is taken upon CFD order opening?

      The commission is calculated by formula:
      Commission = (current share price) x (number of lots) x 0,05.

    • 4.21 Why do you add (or deduct) money for overnight positions (Swap)?

      This is because the position prolongation is performed through short Roll-over or Swap (Tom/Spot) operations. Roll-over consists of 2 controversial positions with the same sum, but different dates (Tom – tomorrow, Spot – the second working day) and slightly different rates. Roll-over is an artificial closure of a position and a simultaneous opening of the similar position on the next date, taking into account the difference in the percent rates of the two currencies.
      Depending on the position direction (buy or sell), the client gets (or pays) some sum for the position roll-over (it usually ranges from a tenth of a point to several points). When a position is rolled over from Wednesday to Thursday, the sum is triple. Why does the customer have to pay for a position roll-over? Because upon opening the position he received a credit in a currency he sells, and must pay interest. At the same time he put the purchased currency to a deposit and gets some interest for it too. The bank rates for these currencies differ, therefore a gap appears, which is considered during the position roll-over. If a customer sold a currency with a higher bank rate – he will pay for the roll-over. And if he purchased a currency with a higher bank rate, broker will pay him for the roll-over. Usually it is all calculated automatically

    • 4.22 How long can I keep the position opened?

      You can keep it open as long as you want, but note that you will pay (or receive) swap for transferring your position through every night

    • 4.23 What are long-term and short-term positions?

      In general, long-term positions are those, which are supposed to last several months or even years. Mid-term orders are those, the goals of which should be attained in the nearest 1-3 weeks. Such wording of the terms is spread within banks and investment funds, and is also used by market analytics in their prognoses. There is another scale between traders. Orders within 1 day are called “Intraday”, orders lasting several days are called “short-term”, mid-term – for a week or 2, long-term – for a month and more. This scale is, of course, unofficial, and is spread within self-traders.

    • 4.24 What are “Margin Call” and “Stop Out”?

      The company has the right to close client’s open positions compulsorily without a preliminary notification of the latter if the account current equity is less than 50% of the margin necessary for maintaining open positions (100% for NDD accounts). In the presence of several open positions, the company has the right to close one or several of them starting with the one which is the most loss-making. Account current state is monitored by the server that generates an order to close a position or several positions compulsorily (Stop out) if the Margin Level reaches the 20% (or less) value (50% for NDD accounts). Stop out is performed at the market current price in the order that clients’ requests arrived.

    • 4.25 Why has my position closed by itself?

      Apparently there were not enough funds on your account to keep the position opened. As soon as the margin level reaches 20%, the server automatically closes all the positions. This is also recorded in log files with a comment “stop out”. If several positions are opened, the first one to close will be the position with the highest floating loss.

    • 4.26 What is a "trailing stop"?

      The following happens when you set a trailing stop (for X points): terminal waits until the position reaches the profit of X points. After that it sets a S/L at the distance of X points from the current market price (in our case it is a “lossless” level). If it receives a quote, when the distance between the current market price and the S/L is bigger than X – it sets a new S/L at X points from the current market price. This way S/L follows the price at the distance of X points. Thus, trailing stop is an algorithm of S/L management – to follow the current market price.
      Please note that trailing stop is an internal terminal function and works only when your terminal is up and running. If you put a trailing stop and close your terminal, the server will remember only the last S/L.

    • 4.27 How do I reverse a position in Metatrader?

      There is no automatic reverse yet in MT4. However, it can be done manually in several ways:
      1. Open a reverse position and then close the first position
      2. Open a reverse position with a volume twice higher than the first position’s volume, and then select option “Close overlapping positions”. Only the reverse position will remain. In this case you avoid paying spread for 2 positions
      In MT5 for position reversal you should simply open a reverse position with a volume twice higher than the first position’s volume: the result will be only 1 order left with the same volume as the first position reversed.

    • 4.29 What is a maximum deviation of the price and what is this option used for within the trading platform?

      A maximum deviation - is a value of accessible deviation of the price expressed in pips.

      By enabling the option “Maximum deviation from quoted price”, a trader automatically consents to a new price when opening an order if the new price doesn’t exceed the predetermined deviation. This option is available for the Instant execution type accounts and will be much useful in the conditions of highly volatile market when prices change dramatically.

      During strong market fluctuations it can be difficult to open an order, and the option “Enable maximum deviation from quoted price” can help to save your time. Otherwise, in case a price changes fast when placing an order, the server will ask the trader to open a trade at a new price available for the moment. It will take up some time and can prevent the possibility of entering the market.

      Example:

      The trader places an Instant Execution order "BUY 1 lot of EURUSD at 1.2774". At this moment the pair is approaching a new price of 1.2775, the broker cannot accept the price of 1.2774 and offers the new price of 1.2775.The new offer appears in a new window, and the trader must either accept or refuse the new price.

      Imagine now that the trader has set a maximum deviation of 5 pips, for example, when opening an order. Accordingly, if the difference between the quoted price (1.2774) and the new price (1.2775) is only 1 pip, the server will automatically open a trade at the new price of 1.2775 without having to send the new price message and wait for the trader’s decision.

      As we can see, the setting of a maximum price deviation is used to speed up the execution of a trade, especially under volatile market conditions.

    • 4.30 How to set a maximum deviation from a quoted price when opening an order?

      To use this option, you should tick «Enable maximum deviation from quoted price» in the platform window when opening an order and select the pips value of maximum deviation.


      Accordingly, if the price changes inside this range of 3 pips during the time of order opening, the order will be opened at a new price all the same.

      The option can be also enabled within MT4 platform in the following way: Tools > Options > Trade > Deviation.

      Please note that this option can be enabled only for market orders. Pending orders are activated as soon as the predetermined price is reached.

    • 4.31 What are “Support” and “Resistance” levels?

      “Support” and “Resistance” are technical analysis notions from the classic theory by J. Dow.

    • 4.33 What is "Money Management"?

      Money management is a system providing certain rules for accepting risks and including strict rules for trading. It is a stable, independent from time and situation, tactic of orders opening, a sum of fundamental and technical analysis, a striving for finding the best points to enter the market. This notion has become wider recently due to constant traders’ interaction on forums and communities, lost its concrete character, but become easier to explain. Thus, according to this new view of Money Management (or MM), it is considered a set of simple principles: do not put more than 1% of your deposit under risk for each order; use “no entrance” principle (it is better to wait for better points to enter the market and avoid orders at arguable levels); put S/L’s at 40-60 points from the open price; do not hunt instant profits (20-30 points), but concentrate on the long-term orders,. Which are more profitable and less risky; always keep technical and fundamental pictures in mind and make them the main reason for entering the market.
