What is slippage?

HTFX (EU) LTD is a NDD broker, which means that we just clear our clients’ trades and retranslate quotes we get from our liquidity providers. Orders in the real market are always executed at current market prices, which is why a slippage may occur in the case of a sharp movement. Please note, that during market-moving news, market close & open or high volatility, the risk of slippage is higher than during normal conditions. With us, you will get both positive and negative slippages.

Do you offer negative balance protection/cover negative balance?

Yes, we covers the negative balance, ensuring that clients cannot lose more money than they put it. Moreover, our Risk department is constantly monitoring our clients’ risk-taking and if we see that a client trades irresponsibly, then we will notify the client via e-mail and ask them to reduce risk exposure. Also, we might reduce the leverage on the client’s account.

When are swaps charged at a triple rate for currency pairs and metals?

Triple swap charges apply for positions on FX pairs, Silver and Gold that are held overnight on Wednesday. For the rest of the instruments, triple swap charges apply for positions that are held overnight on Friday. This is a standard practice in the forex industry.

These swaps cover the interest for Saturday and Sunday when the markets are closed. All swaps are calculated based on the quote currency.

Example:

If you open a long position of 1 lot on EURAUD, the overnight swap charge would be -14.11 Australian Dollars. If you had opened the same position on a Wednesday and roll over the position to the next day, the swap would be -14.11 * 3.
If the account currency is in USD, then we have to convert the amount above to USD by using AUDUSD spot rate.
