The Forex market operates 24 hours a day, five days a week. Trading starts on a Sunday evening at 22:00 GMT and will continue to Friday evening at 21:59 GMT. Please remember this will be 22: 00 BST during daylight saving.
We offer both commission-free (Standard Account) and commission-based (Pro Account) trading accounts. Spreads and overnight financing charges may apply.
Cryptocurrency CFDs operate differently from the standard "Lots" used in Forex trading. When you engage in cryptocurrency CFD trading, you're essentially acquiring a contract with a predefined quantity of tokens. The specific token quantity can vary based on the cryptocurrency, so we encourage you to consult our cryptocurrency asset schedule for detailed information.
