Frequently asked questions

Yes, both the MT4 and MT5 platforms allow you to trade using EAs or trading robots.

Our servers are always set to GMT+2 during winter and GMT+3 during summer. Adopting the GMT time zone helps avoid having small candlesticks on Sundays, allowing you to conduct smoother, more straightforward technical analysis and back-testing.

Yes, we offer both the MT4 and MT5 platforms as downloadable terminals for Mac.

By following the links, you’ll also find instructions on how to download and install the platforms, as well as how to connect to our servers.

Yes, you are free to hedge positions on any of your trading accounts, but not between two different accounts. Hedging is when you simultaneously open a long and short position on the same instrument.

When hedging Forex, Gold and Silver, positions can be opened even when the margin level is below 100%. This is because the margin requirement for hedged positions is zero.

When hedging all other instruments, the margin requirement for the hedged position is equal to 50%. New hedged positions can be opened if the final margin requirement is equal to or less than the total equity of your trading account.
