How do I change my Trading Account Password?

You can change your trading account password by using one of the following methods:

  • From Your Client Area:
  • Log in to your Client Area.
  • Go to the ‘Account’ section and select ‘Account Overview.’
  • Click ‘View’ next to the trading account number you wish to update.
  • Select ‘Change’ next to ‘Password’ and follow the instructions provided.

Using the Trading Platform:

  • For cTrader: Open cTrader, click ‘Forgot password?’ at the login form, follow the prompts to reset your password via email.

I cannot open a trade in the MT4 platform; the New Order button is not active.

This issue might occur if you are logged in with an Investor Password, which is read-only. Ensure you are using your Master Password (Trading Password) that allows full trading capabilities, including opening and closing trades. If you mistakenly logged in with your Investor Password, log out and sign in again with your Master Password.

I cannot trade in the MT4 platform; “Invalid Account” is displayed.

If “Invalid Account” appears, it typically points to an issue with your login details:

  • Verify your MT4 account number, password, and server selection. Ensure there are no extra spaces in your login credentials.
  • Try logging in again, ensuring all details are correct.
  • If problems persist, consider resetting your MT4 password via your Client Area under ‘Account Overview’.
  • If issues are not resolved, please contact TradersTrust support via email or Live Chat for assistance.

My charts do not work in the MT4 platform; “waiting for update” is displayed, what should I do?

If your charts are stuck on “Waiting for update,” try the following steps:

  1. Ensure your account is active as inactivity might lead to dormancy, affecting connectivity.
  2. Check that the chart symbols are valid. If uncertain, close the current chart and open a new one from the Market Watch window.
  3. If the problem continues, contact TradersTrust support via email or Live Chat for further assistance and troubleshooting.

What is Margin?

Margin is the amount of capital required to open a trading position, calculated as:

Margin = (Trade Size (units) / Leverage) × Market Price

This amount is reserved in your account until the trade is closed. For example, if you trade 1 lot of EUR/USD using a leverage of 1:100 with a market price of 1.11825, the required margin would be:

Required Margin = 100,000 / 100 × 1.11825 = $1,118.25

To automatically calculate the required margin, click here.

What Trading Platforms are available?

TradersTrust offers the popular MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform, compatible with multiple operating systems including Windows, OS X, and now fully integrated for Mac, as well as mobile versions for iOS and Android.

  • Over $20,001: 1:100

Can I access my account from different computers?

Yes, you can access your account from different computers using the correct cTID credentials, provided each device meets the necessary system and internet connection requirements.

Where can I view my trading history?

Your trading history is accessible by selecting the “History” tab in the “Trade Watch” section at the bottom of the cTrader platform. You can also save your trading history to your device by clicking the “Statement” button in the upper right corner of the History tab.

cTrader Web is not designed for mobile use. For a mobile-optimized trading experience, please download the official cTrader Mobile app, available on both the App Store for iOS devices and Google Play Market for Android devices. Accessing cTrader Web on a mobile device will automatically redirect you to download the app suitable for your device.

Can I access the same account from different devices?

Yes, you can access your account from multiple devices using the correct cTID credentials, as long as each device meets the required system and internet connection specifications. This allows for seamless access across different platforms.

What happens to my open positions when I log out of cTrader?

When you log out of cTrader, any open positions will remain active and will only close when they reach predefined Stop Loss, Take Profit, or Stop Out levels. Additionally, any placed limit orders will execute once their specified entry rates are reached.

Tradable Instruments FAQs

What is a CFD?

A Contract for Difference (CFD) is a financial derivative that allows traders to speculate on the rise or fall of prices of various underlying assets, such as stocks, commodities, or currencies, without owning the actual asset. Traders can go long (buy) if they anticipate an increase in price, or short (sell) if they expect a decrease.

What is Spread?

In trading, the “spread” refers to the difference between the ask (buy) price and the bid (sell) price of a trading instrument. It represents a cost of trading. TradersTrust offers competitive floating spreads for all CFDs, with all-inclusive spreads on FX and Metals for the Classic account and raw spreads with commission on Pro and VIP accounts. Learn more about TradersTrust’s spreads and commissions.

Do you allow hedging?

Yes, Traders Trust permits hedging, allowing you to hold simultaneous buy and sell positions in the same trading instrument. For hedged positions, margin is only required on the larger of the two legs. Note that a fully hedged position does not reduce the margin requirement to zero; it will be calculated based on the larger position size.

What is Margin Call and Stop Out?

A Margin Call is an alert that your account’s funds are depleting and additional funds are necessary to maintain open positions. It is triggered when your margin level falls to 50%. Stop Out occurs when your margin level drops to 20%, leading to an automatic closure of the least profitable trades to prevent a negative balance.

Example:

Equity: $2,000

Margin: $2,000

Margin Level: 100%

If Equity drops to $1,000, you get a Margin Call (50% margin level).

If it drops further to $400, a Stop Out occurs (20% margin level).

What is leverage?

Leverage allows you to control a larger position than your existing capital would otherwise permit. It amplifies both potential profits and losses. For example, a 1:500 leverage means you can control $500 in the market for every $1 in your account. Higher leverage reduces the margin required for trading.

What is Swap and how is Swap calculated?

Swap is the interest paid or earned for holding a position overnight, reflecting the cost or gain depending on the interest rate differential between two currencies involved in a pair.

Swap formulas:

  • Forex: Swap = (Pip value for 1 lot) x (Number of lots) x (Swap rate in points) x (Number of nights) / 10
  • Metals, Oils, Indices: Swap = (Volume in lots) x (Swap rate) x (Number of days) x (Point value)
  • Cryptocurrencies: Swap = (Volume in lots) x (Contract size) x (Swap rate) x (Market price at end of day) / 100 / 360

These formulas help calculate the cost or gain from holding trades overnight across different asset classes.

What is Margin and how is it calculated?

Margin is the collateral required to open and maintain trading positions. It is calculated as:

Margin = (Trade Size / Leverage) x Market Price

For example, to trade 1 lot of EUR/USD at a 1:100 leverage with a market price of 1.11825:

Trade Size: 100,000

Required Margin:

100,000 / 100 × 1.11825 = $1,118.25

Here are some essential formulas used in Forex and CFD trading:

Margin: Standard Contract Size x Volume (lots) x Market Price / Leverage

Free Margin: Equity – Margin

Margin Level: (Equity / Margin) x 100

Swap Calculation:

FX: Pip value (for 1 lot) x Number of lots x Swap rate (in points) x Number of nights / 10

Metals, Oils, Indices: Volume (in lots) x Swap rate x Number of days x Point value

Crypto: Volume (in lots) x Contract size x Swap rate x Market price at EOD / 100 / 360

These formulas are vital for managing trades effectively and understanding the financial requirements and implications of your trading strategies.
