Note: At bank rollover, liquidity in the Forex market is reduced and may increase the spread and processing time for client orders. This happens around 21:00 GMT during daylight saving time, and 22:00 GMT during non-daylight saving time.
2. Order execution
Order execution typically comes in two varieties: market execution and instant execution. With market execution, you will place an order at the broker's price. You agree on the price in advance. There are no requotes with market execution.
What about instant execution? In this case, your order is placed at the price that's available at that time. Requotes are possible if the price fluctuates a great deal before the order execution is complete.
3. Spread
The spread is the difference between the buy price and sell price. A variable spread means that the spread is constantly changing, depending on the market conditions. A fixed spread means that the spread is not affected by market conditions but it is subject to alteration at the Company's absolute discretion.
4. Commission
Most brokers typically charge a commission for each trade that you place. Binary.com currently charges no commission across all account types, except for cryptocurrencies.
5. Margin call
When the remaining funds in your account is unable to cover the leverage or margin requirement, your account will be placed under margin call. To prevent a margin call escalating into a stop out level, you can deposit additional funds into your account or close any open positions.
6. Stop out level
If your account is placed under margin call for an extended period of time, it will reach the stop out level where it is unable to sustain an open position. This will lead to your pending orders being cancelled and your open positions being forcibly closed (also known as “forced liquidation”).
