7. Real account

The Real Trading account is the main functionality for trading on the platform. Due to a large number of trading instruments, as well as over-the-counter quotes (OTC), trading is conducted around the clock without days off and holidays.

The trading mode that we offer is called Quick trading on the platform. It is a highly customizable trading mode that allows you to utilize short time frames starting from 5 seconds and set an exact expiration time. Compared to the previously available Digital trading mode that had since been discounted, Quick trading is simpler and faster.

7.1. Placing a trading order

The trading panel allows you to adjust settings such as the purchase time and the trade amount. It is located on the top right and cannot be moved. That’s where you place a trade trying to predict whether the price will go up (the green button) or down (the red button).

To choose the purchase time, click on the “Time” menu (as in the example) on the trading panel. You can select one of the popular time frames, or set your own.

You can change the trade amount by clicking on “-” and “+” in the “Trade amount” section of the trading panel.

You can also click on the current amount which will allow you to type in the required amount manually, or multiply/divide it.

The minimum trade amount is $1 while the maximum trade amount varies depending on your profile level.

7.1.1. Cancelling an open trade

To cancel a trade before its expiration, go to the “Trades” section in the right panel of the trading interface. There you can see all trades that are currently in progress. Select a specific trade and click on a red button that shows the amount of money that you get if you terminate the trade.

Attention: The trade can be canceled only within the first few seconds once the trade order has been placed. The exact time depends on the expiration time, trade amount, and currency pair settings, and may differ.

7.1.2. Using the Double Up feature

You can use the Double Up feature to quickly place a duplicate order with the same price and expiration time. Go to the “Trades” section in the right panel of the trading interface. There you can see all trades that are currently in progress. Select a specific trade and click on a green Double Up button.

Please note that the trade placed by using this feature will be opened at the new opening price and time.

7.1.3. Using the Rollover feature

You can use the Rollover feature to increase your profits and minimize the risk of losses by extending an open order for the same expiration period with an increase in investment amount. Go to the “Trades” section in the right panel of the trading interface. There you can see all trades that are currently in progress. Select a specific trade and click on a green Rollover button.

Please note that the opening time of the order remains unchanged after using the Rollover function. Rollover is only available for the first half of your original trade duration (in the example case, 30 seconds). The availability of the function also depends on the settings of the liquidity providers for the asset and the minimum expiration time.

7.1.4. Trade order results

Once a trader order is closed (time until expiration is reached), the result is marked accordingly as correct or incorrect.

In the event of the correct forecast, you receive a profit — the overall payout containing the originally invested amount as well as the trade profit which depends on the established parameters of the asset at the time of the order placement.

In the event of a correct forecast, the originally invested amount at the time of the order placement remains withheld from the trading account balance.

7.2. Monitoring your trades

Active trading sessions can be viewed without leaving the trading interface and without switching to another page. In the right menu, find the “Trades” button and click to display a menu with information on transactions for the current session.

Open trades display

To see the open trades, go to the “Trades” section in the right panel of the trading interface. There will be displayed all trades that are currently in progress.

Closed trades display

Closed trades for the trading session can be found in the “Trades” section (the right panel of the trading interface).

To view the history of real trades, click on the round button in this section and you will be redirected to your trading history.
