Forex market conditions
The Forex market is open 24 hours from Monday to Friday, providing nonstop trading opportunities. The world’s largest financial marketplace handles $5.5 trillion in daily transactions.
Forex trading hours
Our forex market operates from Monday 00:02 until Friday 23:59.
| Instrument | Trading hours | Daily break |
| All FX pairs | Monday 10:05 – Friday 23:59 | N/A |
All timings are in server time (GMT+3).
Spreads
Spreads in the Forex market are typically floating. The spreads listed above are averages from previous trading days. For up-to-date spreads, please check our platform.
Spreads may widen during periods of low liquidity or high volatility, such as market rollover, news releases, or other impactful events, and may remain wider until normal conditions resume.
For the best spreads, our Raw Spread account guarantees spreads starting from 0.0 pips.
Swap-free trading
A swap is the interest fee applied to Forex positions held overnight. Swap rates vary depending on the currency pair. Swaps are charged daily at 22:00 GMT+3, excluding weekends, until the position is closed. Please note that swaps are tripled on Wednesdays for forex trades to cover weekend funding costs.
If you have swap-free status, you will not be charged swaps on instruments marked “Extended Swap-free available” in the table above.
All customer accounts, regardless of country, are automatically granted swap-free status.
Stop level
The stop level is the minimum acceptable distance between the desired position opening price and the current (market) price when setting a pending order (Stop Loss, Take Profit, Buy/Sell Stop, Buy/Sell Limit). The stop level helps reduce the risk of price slippage during periods of volatility and ensures more reliable execution of pending orders.
Note that the stop level values shown in the table above are variable and may not be available for traders using certain high-frequency strategies or Expert Advisors.
Fixed margin requirements
The margin requirements for exotic currency pairs are fixed. The margin for these instruments is determined based on their specific margin requirements and remains unaffected by the leverage settings of your account.
Dynamic margin requirements
The margin requirement for your account is based on the leverage you select. Changing your leverage will directly affect your margin requirements. Similar to how spreads fluctuate with market conditions, the leverage available to you may also vary. Several factors, outlined below, can influence these changes.
Leverage
Maximum leverage changes based on your account’s equity:
| Equity, USD | Maximum leverage |
| 0 – 999 | 1:3000 |
| 1,000 – 4,999 | 1:2000 |
| 5,000 – 39,999 | 1:1000 |
| 40,000 or more | 1:500 |
*Trading instruments can have different maximum leverage according to their specifications.

Frequently asked questions
1
What is Forex?
Forex, short for “foreign exchange,” is a global market for trading currencies. It involves buying one currency while selling another. As the largest and most liquid financial market in the world, Forex operates 24/5 and attracts a wide range of participants.
2
Major, minor, exotic, what are they?
In Forex trading:
- Majors are currency pairs that include the USD and are highly traded, like EURUSD or USDJPY.
- Minors (or “crosses”) exclude the USD, such as EURGBP or AUDCAD.
- Exotics feature one major currency paired with a currency from an emerging or smaller economy, like USDSGD or EURTRY.
3
What does a 0.01 lot size mean in Forex?
A 0.01 lot size, or “micro lot,” represents 1,000 units of the base currency in Forex trading. For instance, in the EURUSD pair, it equals 1,000 euros. Micro lots are ideal for managing risk and trading with smaller capital.
4
What is a swap-free account, and how to get it?
A swap-free account is free of overnight fees (swaps) for holding positions past midnight.
Swap-free status is automatically applied for both Muslim and non-Muslim clients upon account creation. It applies to Forex majors, minors, exotics, digital assets, indices, stocks, and gold.
Misuse of the swap-free option may result in the company canceling it.
5
What is the margin in Forex trading?
Margin refers to the amount of money required to open a trading position and acts as collateral to cover potential price fluctuations. It is calculated as a percentage of the total position size, depending on the chosen leverage.
