Forex Trading — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about trading currency pairs with Btrade center.
All forex pairs support micro-lot trading starting at 0.01 lots, which equals 1,000 units of the base currency. This means for EUR/USD, a 0.01 lot trade controls €1,000 with a pip value of roughly $0.10. Mini lots of 0.10 (10,000 units) and standard lots of 1.00 (100,000 units) are also available on every pair.
Leverage on forex pairs ranges up to 500:1 on majors and up to 200:1 on exotics, depending on your regulatory jurisdiction and account balance tier. You can request a lower effective leverage cap from your account settings at any time. Lower leverage reduces required margin and can be a sensible risk-management choice for longer-term swing trades.
Spreads are tightest during the 13:00–17:00 UTC London-New York overlap and London morning hours. Spread widening can be expected around major scheduled data releases (NFP, CPI, central bank decisions), during the low-liquidity Asian session, and briefly at the 22:00 UTC daily rollover. All spreads are streamed transparently from our liquidity providers with no manual widening.
Standard accounts have no per-trade commissions and all trading costs are embedded in the spread. Raw-ECN account tiers apply a transparent round-turn commission per million notional traded in addition to the raw spread from liquidity providers. Commission rates are published in the trading conditions page and vary by account tier and volume.
Swap (also called rollover) is the interest differential between the two currencies in a pair, applied to positions held past the 22:00 UTC daily cutoff. Long positions in the higher-yielding currency typically earn a positive swap; short positions may pay a negative swap (or vice versa). A triple swap is charged Wednesday to cover the weekend. Specific swap rates for every pair are published in the trading platform instrument details panel.
