Frequently asked questions
What is forex & how do I trade FX pairs?
Forex (‘foreign exchange’ or ‘fx’) describes trading currencies in pairs, like EURUSD, on a decentralised over-the-counter global market. Each currency has an official abbreviation - in this case, EUR means ‘Euro’ & USD means ‘United States Dollar’. When trading forex, your bid price or ‘base currency’ is shown first (here as EUR) and is followed by the ask price or ‘quote currency’ (here as USD). The values of these currencies change quickly which is reflected in the spread, i.e. the difference between bid & ask price.
What forex pairs can I trade?
We offer over 60 major, minor & exotic fx pairs - including EURUSD spreads from 0.0 pips with 1:400 leverage on Premiere accounts.
What’s the main difference between CFDs and forex?
CFD (or ‘contracts for difference’) trading involves different types of contracts covering a diverse set of financial instruments such as indices & commodities - whereas forex refers to pure currency pair trading.
Another way of looking at it is that forex is mostly driven by global events & CFDs are mostly impacted by the supply/demand of the performance of underlying instruments. However, all instruments will be affected by multiple factors and can also be impacted by unprecedented events. There is no fixed guide to trading, so we always recommend to seek independent advice and to keep a close eye on all your open trades.
Is trading only for professional traders?
Anyone from any background can trade online – all that’s required is sufficient funds for opening an account and a verified bank account. We support all levels of traders with tiered accounts, dedicated managers, multilingual customer support and competitive pricing - Standard accounts start with deposits from $500.
Although we provide customer support 24/5, Equiti is an execution-only broker and does not provide any advisory management or investment advice. We encourage all levels of traders to seek professional advice and utilise risk management.
What do ‘rolling futures’ mean?
A rolling future is a contract that doesn’t expire, instead, at the date of the futures expiry (“rollover date”) - your positions are automatically rolled to the next contract month. Rolled over contracts result in an adjustment which will be added or subtracted to/from your cash balance (minus the spread).
This will appear on your statement as “{Symbol}futures rollover adjustment”.
Example:
Currently, EURUSDfuture is priced from the June futures contract.
The rollover date for EURUSDfuture is 14 June. On this day the contract price will roll from June to September (it’s a quarterly contract).
EOD prices on rollover date: EURUSD June futures = 1.11000
EURUSD September futures = 1.11720
At EOD (17h00 NY time) on 14 June the price of the EURUSDfuture will change from 1.11000 to 1.11720
Ahmed is long 10 lots of EURUSDfuture from 1.10500
Just before EOD on 14 June Ahmed’s position is showing a +$5,000 open profit (using the price of 1.11000 to mark to market).
At EOD (17h00 NY time) on 14 June the price of the EURUSDfuture will change from 1.11000 to 1.11720.
At EOD Ahmed’s position is showing a +$12,200 open profit (using the price of 1.11720 to mark to market). This is an additional +$7,200 of profit.
At the same time, Ahmed will have a “EURUSDfuture rollover adjustment” of -$7,200 - $200 (difference between 1.11000 and 1.11720 - the spread) = -$7,400 removed from his cash balance.
