Swaps =(lots × [Swap in points] × Point Size)
Fullerton Markets Swap Rates are competitive bank swap rates offered by our extensive liquidity partners. The swaps on MetaTrader4 and MetaTrader5 are calculated based on points.
3 Times Swap: Wednesday
Most Forex contracts are deliverable on T+2 (Trading day +2). To accommodate for Saturday and Sunday, the bank charges 3 times the normal swap rate on Wednesdays.
Margin Call: (Equity)/(Margin Used) < (“Margin Call Percentage”)
Margin call happens when the total Equity is less than the “Margin Call Percentage” of the total margin used. To prevent the account from being stopped out, traders are advised to top up their account or to close out some positions to reduce margin used, and to avoid the possibility of being stopped out.
The “Margin Call Percentage” varies on the account type and agreement with Fullerton Markets. Please speak to our customer service officers for more details.
Stop Out: (Equity)/(Margin Used) < (“Stop Out Percentage”)
Stop Out happens when the total Equity is less than the “Stop Out Percentage” of the total margin used. When Stop Out level is reached, existing positions may be automatically closed out by the MetaTrader4 and MetaTrader5 server.
The “Stop Out Percentage” varies on the account type and agreement with Fullerton Markets. Please speak to our customer service officers for more details.
