    Trading Terms

    • Spot Price

      The market price of a financial asset, like a commodity or currency, applies to immediate buying or selling with instant settlement. This price shows the asset’s value in the market at that moment.

    • Swaps

      An interest or fees when you keep a position open overnight. This cost comes from the difference in interest rates between the two currencies you’re trading.

    • Pips

      In trading, the tiniest step of price change is a pip. We use pips to track shifts in the rates of currency pairs.

    • Margin

      Amount of capital required to open and maintain a leveraged trading position.

    • Contract Size

      The typical lot sizes vary among instruments. Normally, FX pairs are traded in 100,000 units, shares in 1,000 units, and other instrument types can vary from a single troy ounce of gold to fractions of Bitcoin.

    • Instrument

      A specific financial asset, such as a currency pair, stock, commodity, or index, that can be bought or sold in the financial markets.

    • Spread Cost

      Total costs you will pay to the broker, calculated by multiplying instrument spread by trade volume.
