Technical questions


Can I trade CFDs on American shares in a demo account? 

A demo account does not provide CFDs trading. In order to trade CFDs, you should open a live account  

According to the website, a 6% annual interest rate is accrued on the free margin. However, I do not see it in my trading account. 

No interest rate is credited to Swap-free trading accounts. You can change the account type by contacting our Technical Support Service. 

Where can I learn something about Forex trading?

You can check out our InstaForex education page where you can find a lot of useful information about the forex market. You can also download a trading platform and try your hand at a demo account. The demo account has the same trading conditions as a live one. The only difference is that when you use a demo account, you cannot lose real money. 

Does InstaForex provide trading account insurance? 

Currently, no company in the forex industry provides trading account insurance. InstaForex has tens of thousands of clients worldwide who trust the company. Not so long ago, we provided a bank guarantee. However, due to the global financial crisis, we no longer provide such services because of its unprofitability. 

What is a stop out level? 

It is a specific level at which all of the Client's active positions are closed automatically. In InstaForex, the stop out level is 10%. This limitation is used to ensure that clients cannot lose more than they have in their trading account. 

How can I sign a written agreement with your company? Does InstaForex conclude written agreements with its clients? 

Under the law of many countries, signing an agreement down is not necessary to make it legally binding. 

The company provides a public offer agreement on its official website. This type of agreement is considered to be concluded by the parties when the Client accepts and agrees with the terms of the agreement. 

What is leverage? 

Leverage is the ratio between the amount of borrowed funds and the collateral. The leverage size can be 1:100, 1:200, and 1:500. For example, leverage 1:100 means that in order to execute a transaction, the amount of money in the trader’s account should be 100 times less than the amount of a transaction.
