Forex primer·6 short cards
What is a pip
A pip is the smallest standard price increment for a currency pair — 0.0001 on most majors, 0.01 on JPY pairs. Spreads are quoted in pips.
Majors, minors, exotics
Majors pair USD with the other top reserve currencies. Minors are crosses between non-USD majors. Exotics involve emerging-market currencies with wider spreads.
Leverage and margin
Leverage is the ratio of position size to deposit. Margin is the deposit required to hold the position. Both are capped by your account entity — see risk disclosure.
Overnight financing
Holding a position past the daily rollover applies a swap charge or credit based on the interest-rate differential between the two currencies.
Session overlap
Liquidity is deepest when two regional sessions are open at once — most notably London and New York between 13:00 and 17:00 UTC.
Slippage and gaps
Prices can move between order placement and execution, especially around news events and at session opens. Plan stops on volatility, not displayed spread alone.
FAQ·4 questions
How much leverage can I use?
Leverage caps depend on your regulator and account type — retail limits are set by jurisdiction. Your available leverage is shown in the platform before you trade, and it amplifies both gains and losses.
When is the forex market open?
Around the clock from roughly Sunday 22:00 UTC (Sydney) to Friday 22:00 UTC (New York close), spanning the Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York sessions. Liquidity is deepest during the London–New York overlap.
What is an overnight swap?
A credit or debit applied when you hold a position past the daily roll, reflecting the interest-rate differential between the two currencies. It can be positive or negative, and the Wednesday roll is typically charged triple to cover the weekend.
What's the minimum trade size?
Forex trades in lots: a micro-lot (0.01) is 1,000 units of the base currency, so you can size positions to your account. The exact minimum is shown in the platform.

- Overnight swap4.6 / -4.9 pts
A credit or debit for holding past the daily roll — long versus short — set by the rate differential between the two currencies.
- CommissionSpread-only
No separate commission on standard accounts — the spread is the cost. Raw-spread accounts price commission per side, entity-specific.
