Deposits
Accounts at bforex are denominated in U.S Dollars. Therefore, all trading deposits will be converted into the base currency of the trading account (U.S Dollars).
Trading Hours
At bforex, you can trade with us anytime the markets are open, from 22:00 GMT on Sunday night until 22:00 GMT on Friday night. Online FX and Commodities are tradable at all times during these market hours. CFD’s have their different operating hours, depending on the location of the market:
- US Market CFD’s are tradable from 2:30 pm – 9:00 pm GMT, Mondays to Fridays
- European & British Market CFD’s are tradable from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm GMT, Mondays to Fridays
- Asian Market CFD’s are tradable from 0:00 am – 2.00 am GMT, 3:30 pm – 6:00 pm GMT, Mondays to Fridays
Outside market hours, the bforex trading platform will not display live rates, and positions cannot be executed, edited or closed.
Maintaining Overnight Positions
There is an interbank rate, known as a rollover, which is credited or charged to your account relative to the asset and direction of your trade(s). At bforex, the rollovers are settled uniquely, as positions aren’t closed and then reopened overnight. Alternatively, a credit or debit is attached or applied to the Forex trader’s account statement as a detached article/item. As a result, this produces a simple and understandable assessment.
Margin Liquidation
Market liquidation happens when account equity reaches zero. If this indeed does occur, all positions are closed automatically. This protects the client’s trading account from reaching a negative balance and being liable for an amount exceeding his/her deposit.
Market Conditions
During regular FX market conditions, due to our policy of no slippage, spot orders will be executed at the price you click/quote.
During volatile market conditions, spot orders will be executed at the price the trader quoted. Even during volatile market conditions, clients receive consistent ask (buy) and bid (sell) prices with fixed spreads.
bforex guarantees 100% fixed spreads under illiquid market conditions (these may happen just before important economic or political news events, or when market activity is low). During these conditions, banks often widen spreads due to lack of buyers and supply & demand.
