Account
Client's trading account. Trading accounts are divided into: real, demo and contest accounts. As a rule, brokers on the FOREX market open accounts of the following types for their clients: Cash (without providing a brokerage loan), Margin (with the possibility of providing a brokerage loan and, accordingly, with the possibility of conducting transactions such as "short sale" and "buy with leverage") ... American brokers can also provide accounts of the following types: Option (for trading options), Custody (by proxy - for example, in favor of minors), IRA (retirement), Joint (joint). In our company, clients can choose multicurrency accounts in the following currencies: USD - standard account in dollars; USC - account in cents. Also, when opening a trading account, a client can request an account without calculating swaps (Swap-Free Account).
Account history
This is information about all the actions performed with any Forex account. This can be profit, loss, credit, deposit, and more. The account history is needed for an objective analysis of the concluded transaction and tracking the Forex account in real time. In addition, the account history allows you to evaluate in detail the effectiveness of a trader's trading strategy over a long period and identify all its strengths and weaknesses. The account history is a detailed database of all traders' trading operations. Based on all the accumulated information, the trader has the opportunity to extract a lot of useful information from this opportunity.
After-hours trading
Conclusion of transactions for the purchase and sale of assets at inopportune hours, which is currently available only to professional market participants and the largest clients. Usually on the FOREX market this opportunity is not provided.
Arbitrage
Making a profit on price differences of identical financial instruments, in different markets or with different brokers. The use of arbitrage strategies is prohibited or restricted by most FOREX brokers. With some reservations, arbitration is allowed when trading on stock exchanges and in large banks (it is recommended to first familiarize yourself with the rules of trading operations).
Arbitrage deal
This is a financial operation, which consists in making a profit from the difference in prices for a certain product in different markets. That is, a product is bought in one market and sold in another market. Profit is formed on the difference in prices for purchased goods in different markets. Arbitration leads to the fact that prices for the same product in different markets will approach each other as the intensity of arbitrage trading increases. This is due to the fact that buying a product in the market where it costs less, the trader thereby increases the price for it in that market, and selling the previously purchased product in another market where it costs more, he automatically reduces the price of that product. Please note: Our company does not allow arbitrage transactions based on data from other brokers.

Automated trading systems
Automatic trading systems (trading advisors) are computer programs written in a special programming language (MQL, etc.). Such trading systems operate on trading terminals and are endowed with the functions of independently generating trading signals and opening trading positions based on these signals. An automatic trading system is able to carry out independent trading, based on the trading algorithm specified for it, without human intervention. Unlike a human, a trading advisor (robot) is able to trade around the clock, without interruptions. The Expert Advisor is devoid of any emotions that are so inherent in a trader and makes trading decisions only based on the logic of its program.

A strategy for optimizing the average price of an asset in a trader's portfolio by purchasing the required volume in the event of a price decrease. To use this strategy, we recommend micro-accounts (with a balance in cents), or accounts with a sufficiently large capitalization. The use of this strategy is not recommended for novice traders.

Since the option is bought in advance at a fixed price, the total is either positive (in the amount of the difference between the premium and the option price) or negative (in the amount of the option value). Usually we are talking about whether the exchange price of the underlying asset will be higher (or lower) a certain level. A fixed payment is made in case of winning the option, regardless of the degree of price change (how much higher or lower it is). Binary options allow you to accurately know the size of the payout and possible risks even before the conclusion of the contract, which makes it easier to manage a large number of trading operations. At IdalForex, you get 90-100% of the profit if the forecast is successful (the premium is 190% of the option value).

CFD - Contract for difference
Contract for Difference. CFD provides an opportunity to earn money based on fluctuations in the value of the financial asset that this contract provides. In this case, the presence of the asset itself is not required at the disposal of the trader himself. Among the assets that provide a contract for difference are: stocks, various commodities and indices. A trader can earn on the basis of making a profit when opening and closing trades using this financial instrument. CFDs allow traders with small deposits to perform financial transactions, which significantly increase the opportunities for trading in expensive goods for people who do not have large capital. Contract for Difference has been on the market for several decades. However, it has only recently become widely used. CFDs provide traders with the ability to open both buy and sell trades, which was not available recently for traders who do not have large deposits. Today, the use of CFDs has become widespread due to the quick and easy execution of financial transactions and low transaction fees. Today, a trader has the opportunity to use leverage, which makes it possible to use larger amounts when conducting trading operations and receive a higher level of profit. Positions are opened in the shortest possible time. When trading CFDs, there is no need for a physical transfer of the asset, which greatly facilitates the work of traders.

Gap
A break in the price chart or the absence of a price for a financial instrument at some point in time. Gap denotes the absence of any transactions on a particular currency pair at this time. It is rather risky to trade during the period of possible occurrence of gaps, due to the high probability of the absence of a trader who is ready to buy or sell something from you at that time. Most often, the gap can appear on the chart during the period when important economic news is released: a new value of the discount rate, inflation and unemployment, etc. Or during the periods between weekends when the international currency market is closed. Thus, a gap can be observed in the morning, when the market opens after the weekend, when the price may be much higher or lower than the price level that was last fixed after the market closed at the end of the working week. Some markets are more prone to gaps, others less prone. Forecasting the formation of gaps is an important task for a trader, who in most cases should close all open trades. The essential point here is the most accurate tracking of the formation of a gap and the exact time of its likely occurrence. A gap can be an important signal of a trend reversal if the price starts moving in the direction of a gap. This means that important information came to the market that strongly influenced the predictions of traders and investors who are seeking certain actions at that time. If the price returned to its previous state after the formation of a gap, then this indicates an insignificant market fluctuation.

The entry into circulation on the market of such securities that were previously inaccessible to investors, for example, the issue of their shares on the stock exchange by a corporation, which was previously a closed joint stock company.

If the broker uses this system to execute the order, then this is a guarantee of its execution. At the same time, there is a possibility (albeit insignificant) that the order will be executed by him at a price that at the time of execution will be relevant in the market, and not the one that was indicated on the trader's monitor when he gave the order to open. In this case, the price can be rejected both for the better and for the worse. In the event that only the fact of entry is more important, and not its accuracy, then it is better for a trader to use the services of a broker working on the Marlet Execution system. This system will save the trader from requotes and allow the broker to process requests and bring them to the market much faster.

The amount of the required margin varies depending on the amount of leverage used by the trader. So, in the case of a leverage of 1: 100, the required margin will be equal to one percent of the volume of a completed trade. In the case of a leverage of 1 to 50, the margin will be equal to two percent, and so on. This means that if the broker allows you to use a leverage of 1: 100, in this case, to carry out a trading operation, you need to have an amount of money available that is one hundred times less than the volume of the current transaction.
