Forex Trading

Balance is the account balance calculated with all closed positions.
It does not include the floating loss or profit.
Equity is the floating balance including the current floating loss or profit.
Equity changes in response to the market price of the open positions.

Trailing stops automatically adjust to the current market price, providing the investor with greater flexibility to profit, or limit a loss. For example, if we set our trailing stop initially at -10 pips and then the trade moves in our favor 1 pip. Our stop would move 1 pip from -10 pips to -9 pips.

A Freeze Level is the point if the market price meets the level set by the trader, no changes can be made to the order. Freeze Level is not supported at Land-FX.

Yes, it's available at Land-FX. Hedging is when you open the opposite positions with the same lots. In such case, there will be no margin used. But you need to be careful as there may be unexpected losses due to decrease In Equity resulting from floating spread.

Margin Call Level is to be 50%, Stop Out Level is to be 30%.

When the ratio of Margin to Equity comes below the Margin Call Level, there will be warning red sign on the Trading terminal. When the ratio of Margin to Equity comes below the Stop Out Level, there will be compulsory closures of open position, starting from the position with biggest losses, just like stop loss execution.

Trading hours are from Sunday 17:05 to Friday 17:00 EST(New York Time), 24 hours a day and five days a week.

As Land-FX provides the optimal environment for EA programs, you can use EA freely.

Expert Advisor is an Automatic Trading program supported in Meta Trader 4 written in C language. EA allows automatic trading without the manual order entering.

In general, the pending order is not cancelled unless the trader cancels the order. (Maximum 300 pending orders) Only when a stop-out and the pending order is to be used over and above the free margin ratio, however, the order may be cancelled.

Margin ratio is the Equity over Margin Requirements

Margin is a deposit (as a collateral) made to open a position, selling or buying, and maintain the opened position.
Margin is not a fee or transaction cost: it is a part of account balance.
However, you need to be using your margin carefully as it may increase profit potential just as much as it may cause risk of loss.

LAND-FX offers the leverage of maximum 500 : 1 (ECN Account ; 200 :1) .
However you need to remember that using high leverage amplifies the effects of market movements on your capital.
While using higher leverage can increase your potential profits, it will equally significantly increase your potential losses.
