CFD trading allows speculation on asset price movements without owning the underlying asset. Commodities like gold, silver, and crude oil provide diversification and hedging benefits. Leverage ranges from 1:100 to 1:500 depending on the asset class.

• Major forex pairs offer high liquidity and tight spreads, ideal for intraday and swing strategies.
• Exotic pairs including USD/INR provide direct exposure to Indian Rupee fluctuations.
• Indices CFDs cover global markets with trading hours aligned to local exchange timings.
• Commodity CFDs are available 24/5, enabling diversified portfolio strategies.
• Shares CFDs enable trading on global equities with fractional lot sizes.

Executing Your First Trade

Begin by opening the Market Watch window to view live prices. Select the desired instrument and double-click it to open the order window. Here, you will see current bid and ask prices, spread, and available trade volumes.

Choose Buy for a long position or Sell to short an asset. Input your lot size, remembering that 1 standard lot equals 100,000 base currency units. Minimum trade size is set at 0.01 lots to accommodate all trader levels.

• Set Stop Loss to limit potential losses automatically.
• Define Take Profit to lock in gains at preferred levels.
• Use Trailing Stop to follow favorable price moves dynamically.
• For pending orders, select Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, or Sell Stop as appropriate.
• Click Buy or Sell to execute market orders instantly.

Our No Dealing Desk (NDD) execution routes orders directly to liquidity providers, ensuring transparent pricing and rapid execution averaging 40 milliseconds.

Monitor open trades in the Terminal window, where you can modify stop loss and take profit levels or close positions partially or fully based on market conditions.

Risk Management Strategies and Tools

Managing risk is essential for sustainable trading in India’s dynamic markets. Our platform provides tools to calculate position sizes based on your account balance and risk tolerance. Limit risks to 1-2% of your capital on any single trade.

Set daily loss limits to prevent emotional overtrading. Utilize correlation analysis to avoid exposure to highly correlated assets simultaneously. For instance, USD/INR currency pair movements often inversely correlate with gold prices, enabling strategic hedging.

• Place Stop Loss orders at technical support or resistance levels for effective risk control.
• Use Take Profit targets aligned with realistic market movements and favorable risk-reward ratios.
• Apply trailing stops to secure profits while allowing room for price continuation.
• Manage leverage prudently, starting with low ratios such as 1:10.
• Monitor margin levels to avoid margin calls and forced position closures.
