An eWallet is not a bank account, and deposits in an eWallet do not earn interest.

The IP filter allows to log in only from one and the same IP address. This is a good security measure if you have a static IP address. Please note, you can’t enable ‘IP Filter’ with a dynamic IP address (or if you don’t know your IP address type). To disable IP filter, please send a request to [email protected] or via Live Chat.

Withdrawal from a client’s account is possible only to his/her personal account. Transfers to third parties are prohibited as part of the fight against money laundering. The legal basis for this prohibition is a decision of FATF, the Financial Action Task Force on money laundering, established in 1989 by the G7 summit in Paris, France, to develop a coordinated international response to money laundering. In Russia, the Federal Financial Monitoring Service was established in 2001 to fight money laundering.

Market Order is a broker’s order to buy or sell a financial tool at the current price.

The execution of this order results in opening a trade position. Tools are bought at ASK price and sold at BID price. A market order can be connected to a Stop Loss or Take Profit order (see description below). The execution of market orders depends on the financial instrument.

Pending Order is a broker’s order to buy or sell a financial tool at a pre-defined price in the future. This type of order is used to open a position when quotes reach a pre-defined level. There are 4 types of pending orders:

Buy Limit is an order to buy when the future Ask price equals a pre-defined level while the current price is higher than the pre-defined level. Usually this order type is placed with the expectation that the tool’s price will start rising after falling to a specified level,

Buy Stop is an order to buy when the future Ask price equals a pre-defined level while the current price is lower than the pre-defined level. Usually this order type is placed with the expectation that the tool’s price will continue rising after reaching a specified level,

Sell Limit is an order to sell when the future Bid price equals a pre-defined level while the current price is lower than the pre-defined level. Usually this order type is placed with the expectation that the tool’s price will start falling after reaching a specified level,

Sell Stop is an order to sell when the future Bid price equals a pre-defined level while the current price is higher than the pre-defined level. Usually this order type is placed with the expectation that the tool’s price will reach a specified level and then will continue falling.

Stop Loss

This order is used to minimize losses if the financial tool’s price starts moving in an unprofitable direction. If the price reaches this level, the position will be closed automatically. A stop-loss order is always connected to an open position or a pending order. It can be placed by a broker only together with a market or pending order. Bid price is used for long positions in this order (the order is always set below the current Bid price) and Ask price is used for short positions (the order is always set above the current Ask price).

Traders can use Trailing Stop to automate a Stop-Loss order to follow the price.

Take Profit

Take Profit is intended to close out the trade at a profit once the financial tool’s price has reached a certain level. The execution of a Take Profit order closes the position. This type of order is always connected to an open position or a pending order. This order can only be placed together with a market order or a pending order. Bid price is used for long positions in this order (the order is always set above the current Bid price) and Ask price is used for short positions (the order is always set below the current Ask price).

TenkoFX Technical Blog is a tool to analyze price movements based on technical indicators and moving averages.

By default, the technical blog displays all indicators and moving averages available but you can customize it by selecting a required number of parameters from the list.
Once you customize the blog, it will display the selected indicators and moving averages that signal to buy or sell currency.

There are five levels of buying and selling:

• active buy
• buy
• neutral
• sell
• active sell

So you buy when you have more buy signals from your indicators and moving averages and you sell when you have more sell signals.
