Spread
The spread is the difference between the bid and ask price on a trading platform. Lower spreads generally reduce trading costs, making them especially important for active traders, scalpers, and day traders.
Read the full guide →Leverage
Leverage lets traders control a larger market position with a relatively small amount of capital. While it can amplify potential returns, it also increases risk and should always be combined with proper risk management.
Read the full guide →Margin
Margin is the amount of capital your broker temporarily reserves to keep a leveraged trade open. Understanding margin requirements helps you avoid margin calls and manage your account more effectively.
Read the full guide →Lot Size
Lot size represents the trading volume of a forex, gold, or CFD position. Choosing the correct lot size is essential for controlling risk and managing position exposure.
Read the full guide →Stop Loss
A stop-loss order automatically closes a trade when the market reaches a predefined loss level. It is one of the most effective tools for protecting trading capital and managing downside risk.
Read the full guide →Take Profit
A take-profit order automatically closes a trade after the market reaches your planned profit target. It helps traders lock in gains and follow a disciplined trading strategy.
Read the full guide →Hedging
Hedging helps reduce market exposure by opening offsetting positions, making it a common risk-management strategy in forex and CFD trading.
Read the full guide →Liquidity
Liquidity describes how easily an asset can be bought or sold near the current market price. Higher liquidity generally supports tighter spreads, lower slippage, and more efficient order execution.
Read the full guide →Margin Call
A margin call occurs when account equity falls too low relative to the margin required for open positions. Understanding margin level and stop-out rules can help traders reduce the risk of forced liquidation.
