1. Make sure you have indicated your phone number correctly in your Client Profile. If not, then enter the correct number.

2. Make sure you have verified your phone number in your Personal profile. If not, verify it.

3. If the problem persists, please restart your phone.

4. If the issue is not resolved, your mobile operator probably blocks short code messages. If so, contact our support service via Live Chat, and a code will be sent to your phone number manually.

5. To receive SMS from our company in the future, you need to contact your mobile operator and unblock short code messages.

Note that SMS that we send to our clients are free.

First, you need to top up the trading account you have set as the main one. Note that the minimum copy-trading amount is often set by the trader you have chosen, and the minimum deposit of $50 might not be enough.

Go to the "Copy" section and set a group of traders who correspond to your requirements using filters. We cannot recommend any particular traders because you need to make this decision yourself based on their trading strategy, risks, period of work, and number of copy traders. All the information on traders is displayed as a transparent monitoring table. Before making a decision, you can send a message to a trader. Having selected a trader, click on their nickname to open the settings window. Here you can specify a sum to be used to copy the trader, select a copy type, and set copy stop terms. For more information on the settings, please read our FAQ concerning the work on the Social Trading/Copy-trading platform.

Once you've saved your settings, click on "Copy." The trader you copy will be displayed in your Portfolio at the bottom of the page. You can copy several traders simultaneously. You cannot copy the same trader several times simultaneously, but you can increase your copy-trading amount for this trader. The sum to be used for each copy process is set by yourself.

If you have forgotten or wish to change your access password to Client’s Profile, use the password recovery option located on the client profile login page (Forgot password?) You can also contact General Customer Inquiries Department requesting them to change your password, where a manager will ask you to provide required identification data. It is recommended to set up a complex password using letters, numbers and special characters. The data on your password shall be kept secret and secure.

If no transactions have been made on a trading account for 3 months, the account is classified as dormant. The Company charges a fee for servicing inactive accounts in the amount of 10 USD (or the equivalent in the account currency) for every 30 calendar days.

The account will be archived in 40 calendar days after its balance has reached zero.

Contact LiveChat to restore your archived account.

To avoid the described situation, regularly use any trading accounts in your profile. Please note that connecting to a trading account via a trading terminal is not considered activity, nor is placing pending orders. Any of your profile accounts must open and close trading positions or carry out balance transactions to remain active.

You can enable additional security methods in your Client Profile. To do this, log in to your Client Profile, go to Security, and activate the methods that are most convenient for you. You can enable Google authentication, SMS authentication, and email authentication either simultaneously or individually.

When using SMS or email authentication, you will receive a one-time code via SMS and/or email every time you attempt to log in to your Client Profile. This ensures that an unauthorized person cannot log in without access to your phone and/or email.

To use Google authentication, you will need to download the Google Authenticator app from Google Play or App Store and install it on your device. When using this security method, you will have to enter a single-use code generated by the app every time you log in to your profile.

Please note that the code generated by Google Authenticator is sometimes not accepted due to the app's operational features. To fix this issue, ensure your device's time zone is set to automatic. Next, swipe down on the screen displaying the code so that the cloud icon in the search bar flickers and the connection to your Google account is refreshed.

Attention! If you lose access to the device where Google Authenticator is installed, you will no longer be able to log in to your Client Profile. If this happens, please contact our support team through any convenient method.

You can top up your trading account via your Client Profile using electronic payment systems indicated on the same page.

In order to top up the account with the help of your bank card, you can use several intermediary payment systems. Also, you can deposit money in your account through bank wire transfer. To select any of the deposit methods above, click the "Finance" button in the Client Profile and select the "Bank Card" option.

Please take note of the Company’s rules for depositing and withdrawing funds from a trading account. These rules are designed solely to reduce the risks involved in these operations and to provide fund security. Funds can only be withdrawn to the same wallet and in the same currency that was used for the deposit. This means that if you top up your account using Skrill, you can withdraw money only using the same Skrill wallet that was used for the deposit. If you wish to use a different payment system, the withdrawal will be possible only if you make a deposit using the new wallet, and you will be able to withdraw the money to both wallets proportionally. This rule is governed by the AML policy. Please also note that transactions of less than 1 USD are not accepted by our operators.

The financial department works 24/5, starting from 22:00, Sunday, till 22:00, Friday.

Trading server time, see paragraph 4.16.

If you use Client Profile, funds will be credited automatically. Please remember that direct deposits to our wallet are not automatic. After such a deposit, you shall contact LiteFinance’s Financial Department and inform them about the deposit.

You can get in touch with our managers via LIVE CHAT or by email at . Your request must contain the following:
- date and approximate time of your money transfer;
- exact amount of funds;
- ID of your wallet;
- ID of the wallet you have transferred the funds to;
- number of the trading account to which the funds must be transferred.

Note that wallet-to-wallet transfers are not automatic and require more time for processing. Please top up your accounts via Client Profile to avoid delays.

In order to find a lost deposit, you shall contact the Financial Department using the most convenient way for you and provide the following information:

- Number of your trading account;

- Number or ID of the wallet in payment system, which has been used to transfer money;

- The amount of transferred funds;

- The date and exact time with the time zone;

- Transaction number (if available).

There are several reasons why your withdrawal application has been canceled:

- The money laundering policy has been violated;

- A withdrawal has been requested through an electronic payment system which differs from the payment system that has been used to top up;

- The wallet you used to top up this trading account differs from the wallet to which you are going to withdraw money;

- Other reason. To find out the reason you shall contact the Financial Department using the most convenient way for you.

If you can make a deposit in the national currency in your country through a local representative, then you can see the current exchange and commission rates in the 'Finance/Local Deposit' section of the Client Profile. Start entering the deposit amount in your currency in the 'Payment amount' field and you will see the amount that will be deposited to your account below.

If the deposit currency is different from the transfer payment currency, then the exchange rate set by your bank will be applied to a bank transfer in your country's currency. You will see the amount that will be deposited to your account calculated based on the current exchange rate.

The company automatically refunds the commission of payment systems to the balance of your trading account after you make a deposit.

A transaction hash is a unique identifier that proves that a transaction was validated and added to the blockchain. LiteFinance's financial department can sometimes ask you to send a hash after a cryptocurrency payment in order to locate funds.

The sites called "block explorers" allow looking for a transaction hash and see the blockchain ledger. Note that you need to use the right block explorer or else you won't find your transaction hash or the information will be incorrect.

Please follow the instructions below to search for your transaction ID.

1. Select the block observer for your blockchain:

BTC: https://www.blockchain.com/

ETH: https://etherscan.io/

LTC: https://live.blockcypher.com/

BCH: https://bch.btc.com/

XRP: https://xrpscan.com/

TRX: https://tronscan.org/

2. Enter your wallet number on the site.

3. Find your payment on the list of transactions and go to the details. Copy the contents of the "hash" parameter and send them to the support chat at LiteFinance.

LiteFinance Global LLC provides CLASSIC and ECN types of trading account. Both types of account are based on market execution.

Please check the detailed description of the account types.

A demo account is perfectly suitable to familiarize Clients with the Forex market. This type of account does not require making deposits but profit gained as a result of trading operations cannot be withdrawn. Conditions of work in demo accounts are similar to conditions of work in live accounts: the same procedure of transactions, the same rules of requesting quotes, the same parameters for opening positions.

Click on your name in the Client Profile in the upper line and make sure the demo trading mode is enabled. Then access the "Metatrader" section. Click the "Open account" button and select account parameters from the drop-down lists.

Please note that any demo account type works for 45 days. The counter is updated each time you log in to your demo account using the trading platform. The counter isn't updated if you log in to your demo account via the web terminal in the Client Profile. Balance and trading operations in demo accounts do not extend their lifespan either.

If you have opened your demo account via your Client Profile (your personal profile with the LiteFinance company), you can use the automatic password change option. To change the trader’s password, please log in to the Client’s Profile, access the section "Metatrader" and click on "edit" in the "Password" column of the corresponding account. Enter the new password twice in the window that opens. You don’t need to know your current trader’s password to do that.

Also, when opening a new account, a letter containing the account login and password is always sent to the client’s email.

If you have opened your demo account directly through the trading terminal and the letter containing the registration data has been deleted from your email box, you’ll have to open a new demo account. It’s impossible to recover or change the passwords from demo accounts that were not opened through your Client Profile.

In order to replenish the balance of the demo account created through the Client’s Profile, please click on your name in the top line and make sure that the demo trading mode is enabled. After that go to the section "Trade". Next, click "Deposit" in the lower right corner of the page, enter the amount of the deposit in dollars and click "Deposit."

ISLAMIC ACCOUNT is an account that doesn’t charge fees for carrying over open positions to the next day. This type of account is intended for those clients who are not allowed to conduct monetary operations involving interest payments owing to their religious beliefs. Another widely-spread name of this type of account is "swap-free account".

Yes, our company provides such a service. To open an Islamic account, click on your name at the top of the page and then choose "My profile" and "Verification." Find the "Islamic account application" field and click on the "Fill in" button. Read the Islamic Account service provision conditions, agree to them and click on the "Submit" button.

Please note, that your application does not guarantee that your account will be transferred to the Islamic Account category. The company provides access to the service at its own discretion.

Credit leverage is a ratio between the deposit and allocated borrowed funds: 1:100, 1:200, 1:500, and 1:1000. Credit leverage 1:100 means that you shall have in your trading account an amount, which is 100 times less than the one required to open an order.

The following leverage sizes are available to LiteFinance’s clients, depending on their account types:

from 1:1 to 1:1000 in CLASSIC accounts;

from 1:1 to 1:1000 in ECN accounts;

You can choose the size of leverage when you open your trading account. Later, you can change it via your Client Profile by using the corresponding option in the "Metatrader" section. This procedure does not require you to close opened or pending orders.

LiteFinance is not an educational company; however, we can recommend four ways to find useful materials:

1) Visit specialized bookstores.

2) A wide range of literature is freely available online — just use any search engine to find books by various authors.

3) Explore online forums dedicated to the Forex market — they often contain valuable and practical information.

4) On our website, you can find beginner-friendly materials here: https://www.litefinance.org/blog/for-beginners/

LiteFinance indices or LFX currency indices are analytical tools developed by LiteFinance experts to indicate the influence of a particular currency on a basket of major currencies.

For example, the formula calculating the USDLFX index shows the ratio of the U.S. dollar to the basket of major currencies: Euro (EUR), the British pound (GBP), the Canadian dollar (CAD), the Australian dollar (AUD), the Swiss franc (CHF) and the Japanese yen (JPY).

Other indices are calculated with the help of the formula specified above:

EURLFX = USDLFX*EURUSD - the Euro index

GBPLFX = USDLFX*GBPUSD - the index of the British pound

AUDLFX = USDLFX*AUDUSD – the index of the Australian dollar

NZDLFX = USDLFX*NZDUSD – the index of the New Zealand dollar

CADLFX = USDLFX/USDCAD – the index of the Canadian dollar

CHFLFX = USDLFX/USDCHF – the index of the Swiss franc

LFXJPY = USDJPY/USDLFX – the index of the Japanese yen

This group of instruments is not available for trading. LiteFinance currency indices offer the opportunity to analyze the market in a deeper and more complete way and are developed to decrease uncertainty when making decisions, since they measure quite accurately the relevance of financial and economic news and its impact on major currencies.

VIX is the ticker symbol for the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (CBOE). This is a popular measure of the stock market's volatility expectations based on S&P 500 index options. VIX is calculated and provided by the CBOE exchange in real time. It is sometimes referred to as the "fear index" or "fear gauge".

LiteFinance provides the volatility index VIX as an analytical tool; it is not available for trading. You can learn more about how the VIX works and how it is used in trading in our blog.

A non-tradable bonus is automatically deducted once the floating loss on the trading account equals your own funds, excluding the bonus amount. For example, you receive a 100% bonus on a $100 deposit, resulting in a total of $200 on your account. If there is a floating loss on the account, the bonus will be deducted when the floating loss reaches at least minus $100. After that, a Stop Out may occur (see 4.25) if the floating loss continues to grow.

A tradable bonus is only deducted in the event of a Stop Out, thus maintaining the drawdown.

To obtain the IP address of a suitable data center for terminal connection, please contact Live Chat and provide the full account name and the country from which you are trying to connect. For example, account MT4-R-12345, Brazil.

The following platforms are currently provided for trading in both demo and real accounts: MetaTrader4 (MT4), MetaTrader5 (MT5), cTrader, and the web terminal located in Client Profile, allowing you to work with MT account types.

Besides a basic terminal for a Windows-based personal computer, we offer terminals for Android, iPhones and iPads. You can download any version of the terminal. The Web terminal located in LiteFinance’s Client Profile is adapted to any type of device and can be opened in a browser both on the computer and mobile devices.

F1 – open the user guide for the terminal;
F9 – open a new trading order;
Ctrl + T – open/close terminal window within Metatrader window,
Ctrl + O – open a window of terminal settings, where you can enter the data for authorization and set other options of the program,
Ctrl + N – open navigator window,
Ctrl + Y – show period dividers on the chart,
Ctrl + L – show volume on the charts.

You can find the user guide in the terminal itself. Press F1 in order to review it straight after launching the terminal. The developer’s forum is located at https://www.mql5.com/.

This is a buy and sell price which you can see when requesting to open or close a position. The difference between the Bid and Ask price is called spread. All charts in the terminal show Bid price. You can also set the function allowing the display of Ask price as well. In order to do this, press F8 on the chart window, where in the tab "General" you need to tick "Show Ask Line". "Buy" orders are opened under the price "Ask" and closed under the price "Bid". "Sell" orders are opened under the price "Bid" and closed under the price "Ask".

Stop Loss is used for minimizing losses if the security price has started to move in an unprofitable direction. If the security price reaches this level, the position will be closed automatically. Such orders are always connected with an open position or a pending order. The terminal checks long positions with Bid price for meeting this order provisions (the order is always set below the current Bid price), and it does with Ask price for short positions (the order is always set above the current Ask price). Take Profit order is intended for gaining the profit when the security price has reached a certain level. Execution of this order results in closing of the position. It is always connected with an open position or a pending order. The order can be requested only together with a market or a pending order. The terminal checks long positions with Bid price for meeting of this order provisions (the order is always set above the current Bid price), and it checks short positions with Ask price (the order is always set below the current Ask price). For example: When we open a long position (Buy order) we open it at Ask price and close it at Bid price. In such cases S/L order can be placed below the Bid price, while T/P can be placed above the Ask price. When we open a short position (Sell order) we open it at Bid price and close it at Ask price. In this case S/L order can be placed above the Ask price, while T/P can be placed below the Bid price. Let us suppose that we want to buy 1.0 lot on EUR/USD. We request a new order and see a quote Bid/Ask. We select the relevant currency pair and the number of lots, set S/L and T/P (if required) and click on Buy. We bought at Ask price 1.2453, respectively, Bid price at that moment was 1.2450 (spread is 3 pips). S/L can be placed below 1.2450. Let’s place it at 1.2400, which means that as soon as Bid reaches 1.2400, the position will be automatically closed with 53 pips loss. T/P can be placed above 1.2453. If we set it at 1.2500, it will mean that as soon as Bid reaches 1.2500, the position will be automatically closed with a profit of 47 pips.

This question is often asked by beginners in relation to Sell positions. It happens because traders do not take spread into consideration. Sell order is opened at Bid price; the chart shows this price as well. But order closes at Ask price, which is higher than Bid price by the size of spread. To enable displaying Ask price, press F8 on the chart window and in the tab "General" tick the "Show Ask line".

These are orders which will trigger when the quote reaches the price, specified in the order. Limit orders (Buy Limit / Sell Limit) are executed only when the market is traded at the price specified in the order or at a higher price. Buy Limit is placed below the market price, while Sell Limit is placed above the market price. Stop orders (Buy Stop / Sell Stop) are executed only when the market is traded at the price specified in the order or at a lower price. Buy Stop is placed above the market price, while Sell Stop - below market price.

For all currency pairs the price stated in the order shall differ from the current market price "Bid" or "Ask" at least by the size of spread for this pair depending on the direction of position. You cannot place pending order S/L or T/P closer to the current market price than it’s stated in the "Trading instruments" in Stop&Limit" column.

"Volume" is a size of order, which is measured in "lots". The size of the lot for each trading instrument is indicated in the section "Trading instruments". The volume, which you are allowed to use when entering the market, can be calculated with the help of "Trader’s calculator".

If the button "New order" is not active, it means that you have connected to the account using investor’s password. In order to trade on the trading account, use trader’s password. The trader’s password is used to log in to the trading account and enables you to manage it. You can open, close or modify positions only if you use the trader’s password. The investor’s password is used to review the account. Therefore, you can log in to the trading account and view it, but cannot open, close or modify any positions.

This problem could happen due to the following reasons:

1) You use an incorrect login. To log in, please use only the numbers of your account name. For example, your account number is MT4-R-12345. Then, use 12345 to log in.

2) You use an incorrect password. Please make sure you enter the right password. If you have forgotten or lost your trader password, you can reset it in the Client Profile. Use a tip from paragraph 1.19.

3) Perhaps, your account became dormant and was deleted. Please see paragraph 1.24.

The reasons can be as follows:

- You are using the wrong server when trying to connect to the trading account. Try to connect to your trading account using the IP address instead of the server name. To obtain the IP address of a suitable data center for terminal connection, please contact Live Chat and provide the full account name and the country from which you are trying to connect. For example, account MT4-R-12345, Brazil.

- no Internet connection;

- perhaps you are accessing the Internet through a proxy server. If you use an organization's network, that is most likely the case. You need to check with your system administrator the proxy address and the port that you use to access the Internet, then enter these details in the terminal settings ( "Tools" / "Options" / "Server" / check "enable proxy server" / click on the "proxy" button / write in the address, port of the proxy server, login and password);

- the firewall program (anti-virus software) blocks the trading terminal. Windows’ firewall is also a firewall program. In this case, it is necessary to add "MetaTrader" to the list of allowed programs.

Attention! To perform the actions below, you will need to restart your computer and log on as an administrator. Since you will need to type commands at a command prompt, you should follow the instructions strictly. The instruction is for PC users. If you are a MAC user, find the information on how to clear DNS cache on Apple’s site.

When you use the Internet constantly, your computer automatically caches IP addresses and other data of the Domain Name System. Clearing out the cache helps update data and delete old data, which may provoke connection problems.

The "Market watch" window shows the terminal time. It’s impossible to change it. It corresponds to GMT+3 in the period from the last Sunday in March till the last Sunday in October. For the rest of the time, it corresponds to GMT+2.

A message "Trade stream busy" appears in case of unsuccessful attempt to carry out a trading operation (for example: when you send a new trading order prior to getting results of the previous operation). It can happen because of temporary interruptions of connection with the trading server. In this case your new order will be queued in the client’s terminal, and this message will appear when attempting to execute any operation. ‘In order to clear the list of requests just restart the terminal’.

If the account history has disappeared, you shall do the following:
1. Check the system date for correctness.
2. Right-click on the tab "Account History" and select "All history". You can also select the history for any period you are interested in.

You can calculate it with the help of the trader’s calculator. The calculation formula is defined as follows:

The cost of point in the currency of the deposit:

(Cross-rate of the currency of the order to USD) × (order volume in lots) × 100000 × (point) / (current rate),

where the transaction currency is the first currency in the pair.

For example:
EURJPY=162,30; EURUSD=1,4344;
The price of a point (EURJPY) = 1.4344 × 1 × 100000 × 0.01 / 162.3 = 8.83

The cost of point for CFD:
Volume (number of lots) × contract size × minimum value of the change of price.

The required margin amount can be calculated with the help of the "trader’s calculator". The calculation formulas are as follows:

Direct forex quote:
Margin=Transaction Volume x Lot size/Leverage
For example, Margin= 1x100000/200 = 500 USD for 1 USDCAD lot with 1:200 leverage. Since the first currency in the pair is the USD, the margin is calculated in dollars. If necessary, convert it into the account currency (for example, EUR): 500/1.17163 = 426.75589 EUR.

Indirect forex quote:
Margin = Transaction Volume × Contract size/Leverage
Here’s a calculation example for 1 lot of AUDUSD, with a 1:200 leverage:
Margin = 1*100,000/200 = 500 AUD, i.e. margin is 500 AUD.
Next, convert the result to the account currency.
If the account is denominated in USD, multiply by the trade opening price: 500*0.71993 = 359.96500 USD.
If the account currency is EUR, first calculate the margin in USD, like in the example above, then convert the result to the euro:
359.96500 USD*1.17163 = 421.74579 EUR.

Cross rates:
Margin=Transaction Volume*Contract size/Leverage
For example, Margin = 1x100000/200 = 500 GBP for 1 GBPJPY lot with 1:200 leverage.
The margin value is always expressed in the base currency (stands first in a quote).
Next, convert the result to the account currency.
If the account is denominated in USD, multiply by the trade opening price:
500*1.35732 = 678.66000 USD.
If the account currency is EUR, first calculate the margin in USD, like in the example above, then convert the result to the euro:
678.66000 USD*1.17163 = 795.13842 EUR.

Indices:
Margin=Transaction volume x Contract size x Current Price x Margin%/100
For example, for 1 FTSE lot as per specification, Contract size = 1, margin = 1%, margin currency=GBP.
Please note that first, you need to check the type of index margin calculation in the specification of an instrument because it depends on the liquidity provider and can be calculated like the one of CFDs.
Margin = 1*1*10359.4*1/100=103.6 GBP. Convert to account currency (for example, USD):
103.6*1.35732 = 140.6 USD.

CFDs on stocks and commodities:
Margin=Transaction volume x Contract size x Opening Price x Margin%/100
Please note that first you need to check the type of oil margin calculation in the specification of an instrument because it depends on the liquidity provider and may be calculated like the one of indexes.

Futures:
Margin=Transaction volume x Initial margin x Margin%/100
The initial margin and margin% are indicated in the specification of a financial instrument within the trading terminal.

A position is carried over to the next day by forcibly closing it on a specific value date and simultaneously reopening the same position on the next value date. This is done at prices that reflect the interest rate differential between the two currencies. Depending on the direction of the position (Sell or Buy), the client either pays or receives a carry-over fee (ranging from a few tenths of a point to several points). When a position is carried over from Wednesday to Thursday (in terms of value dates), the fee charged or credited is tripled.

Why does the Client pay or get money for carrying over a position?

The client pays or receives a payment for carrying over a position to the next day in case the client still has some open positions at the closing of the trading day. The difference between rates of the national central banks whose currencies the client is using plays an important role when exchanging currencies.

This difference is built in to the swap points. If the Client has sold the currency at the higher interest rate, he will pay for a position transfer. If he has bought the currency at the higher interest rate, the broker will pay him for a position transfer.

This carry-over fee is called a "swap." You can read more about Forex swaps in our blog.

When transferring a position from Friday to Monday, the sum charged/paid increases threefold (the triple swap is paid/charged on the night from Wednesday to Thursday).

As long as you want, but you should keep in mind that if your position is still open after 00:00 (the platform time, see p. 4.16), the fee (SWAP) will be paid or charged every next 24 hours.

In the conventional sense, a long-term position is an order with an eye to get profit months or even years later. Medium-term transactions are the deals where profit is expected within weeks or more frequently, months. Short-term transactions are operations, which targets shall be reached in the nearest 1-3 weeks. This definition for the terms of the positions is accepted in banks and investment funds and is also used by analysts making forecasts. However, ordinary traders have different definition of long-term and short-term operations. Intraday transaction is a transaction conducted within a day; trading in the few coming days is called short-term; medium-term operations are executed in the next week or two and long-term transactions are operations of the next month or two. This definition is not accepted officially and is used by ordinary players at Forex.

If the margin requirement to maintain open positions is less than the amount of bonus funds, the Stop Out will occur as soon as the equity level reduces to the margin requirement level.

If the margin requirement to maintain open positions is higher than or equal to the sum of bonus funds, the Stop Out will occur as soon as the equity level reaches the level of bonus funds, or as soon as the Margin Level reaches the value of 20% (50% for CENT accounts).

The current state of account is controlled by the server that generates an order to close positions compulsorily in case the Credit Stop Out occurs. The Credit Stop Out is executed at the current market price on the basis of first come, first served.

When you set the "trailing stop" (for example for X points), the following procedure takes place:
The terminal waits until the position gains profit of X points (the amount specified in trailing stop). After that, the terminal sets "stop loss" at a distance of X points from the current price (in our case, at the level of break-even).
If we receive quotes when the distance between the current price and "stop-loss" exceeds X points, the terminal will activate the command to change the Stop-Order for the distance of X points from the current price, i.e. stop-loss follows the current price at the distance of X points. Thereby, the "trailing stop" is the algorithm of controlling the "stop-loss" order – "price movement towards profit".
Attention! The "trailing stop" is an internal function of the terminal, which operates only when your trading terminal is on and connected to our server through Internet. If you set the "trailing stop" and after that switch off your terminal, the value of the last stop loss will be valid for the server.

Automatic reversals of positions in MT4 and MT5 aren't applied in our company. However, you can do that manually in a few ways:

1. Open the opposite position and after that close the first one.

2. Open the opposite position with twice as much volume and close the first one using the option "Multiple Close by Opposite Position." As a result, only the "reversal position" is left. You can thus avoid paying spreads for the opposite position, in contrast to paragraph 1, because to close the first position, the opening price of the second position is used; to close the second position, the opening price of the first position is used.

Please right-click on any instrument in the "Market watch" window and select "Show all"; or select "Symbols" and after that indicate the trading instrument you are interested in.

"Support" and "Resistance" are the concepts of technical analysis from the classic theory by J. Dow. Support level is the level below the current market price, which suggests that the price rate can reverse upward. Resistance level is above the current market price, suggesting that that price rate may go down.

A profit of 100 points is often referred to as a "figure" of profit. A "figure" of price movement means a 100-point change in price. Round price levels are also sometimes called "figures." For example, the expression "EUR/USD is going through the 17th figure" means that the rate has risen above the 1.1700 level.

Money management is the system incorporating certain rules in regard to admissible risks, as well as strict strategic framework for trading, such as: always consistent and unchanging tactics for placing orders, irrespective of time or conditions; thorough fundamental and technical analysis and desire to find the best points for entering the market. Lately, this concept has become more general, and in the result of constant communication between traders at forums and seminars has lost its specificity; however at the same time it has become widely spread and easier for understanding.

Therefore, it is assumed that Money Management is a set of simple principles: to not risk more than one percent of the deposit at each deal; the principle of not entering the market (which means that it is better to wait for the better conditions and avoid transactions in case of ambiguous situation); to place stop-losses at the distance of 40-60 points from the price level of the transaction; to not chase instant profit of 20-30 points but concentrate on long-term and thus more profitable and less risky operations; constantly follow fundamental and technical analyses, basing your trading strategies on these analyses.

If you wish to earn with LiteFinance, you can choose one of the following types of partnership programs:

- CPS

- Revenue share

- Regional representative

All these programs provide different cooperation opportunities, that’s why you will find for sure the one that suits you best. Depending on your experience, potential and the expected result, you can choose any program which fits you best.

Traders are clients of the company whose accounts appear in the ranking and are available for copying. Regardless of the affiliate program chosen, you can get a part of the Trader's profits if your referral copies the trades of the Trader and the Trader has set a percentage of profits to be paid to the partner of the referral.

For example, your referral starts copying and the Trader gets a 100 USD profit. If the Trader has set the commission for the Copy Trader's partner at 10% of the profit, then in addition to the standard commission from the referral as part of the affiliate program you have chosen, you will get an additional 10 USD from the Trader.

Attention! This type of commission is paid by the Trader, not the company. There is no way we can influence the trader's decision to appoint a specific commission rate to you.

You can discuss the terms of cooperation with each Trader by clicking on the "Write a message" button on the "Info about trader" page.

You may join as many programs and create as many campaigns as you wish.

A client who uses your affiliate link (clicks on it, copies it in the address bar of a browser or clicks on the advertizing banner with the embedded affiliate link) is navigated to our site, registers and becomes your referral. And you make profit from this.

It's located in the "Affiliate" menu and will be displayed once you've verified your client profile and filled in the partner's questionnaire. To see your affiliate link, go to the "Campaigns" tab and click on one of your campaigns. The link will be shown in a dedicated field and can be copied with a mouse click.

They will become available to you immediately after creating a campaign. You can find them in the "Promo" tab in the affiliate menu. Note that you can use banners in conjunction with landing pages. For example, a person who clicks on a banner with a stock trading advertisement will first be forwarded to the landing page, where he will be presented with the advantages of such trading and a schedule of growth for the shares. This will increase the chance of the visitor completing registration and becoming your referral.

The amount of affiliate commission and the way it is paid depend on the program you have chosen. Please consult this page or the Affiliate Agreement for further information.

The amount of commission depends on whether or not a referral has hedged positions and uses bonus funds during drawdowns.

a) Look at the following example: a referral opens a trade to buy 1 lot in EURUSD and then immediately opens two trades to sell 0.5 and 0.3 lots of EURUSD. The locked position volume is 1 lot, and the locking position's total volume is 0.8 lots. In this case, the commission will be paid only on the locked volume of 1 lot as it's higher than the locking volume.

b) Look at the following example: a referral opens a trade to buy 1 lot in EURUSD and then immediately opens two trades to sell 0.5 and 0.7 lots of EURUSD. The locked position volume is 1 lot, and the locking position's total volume is 1.2 lots. A partner will have a commission on 1 lot of the locked volume. Also, because the locking volume is higher, a partner will be paid a commission on the difference between the locked and the locking volumes of 0.2 lots.

Attention! If trades participate in a hedging process, it does not matter how long ago and in which order they were opened or closed. A total volume of trades in the same instrument is always considered.

c) Let’s suppose a referral uses bonus funds as an additional margin. If Margin exceeds the share of a referral’s own funds in a Free margin, a commission will be calculated only for the trade volume secured by the referral’s own funds.

The full statistics are available in the "Campaigns" tab of the affiliate menu.

Affiliate commission can be withdrawn through any method displayed in the "Affiliate program" section. Withdrawal requests are processed in accordance with the company’s regulations. Please, remember that withdrawal through bank transfer may be used solely in case the withdrawal amount exceeds 500 USD.

Since the affiliate commission is credited to your main trading account in the Client's Profile by default, you can trade or copy trades of other traders without having to create a separate trading account.

"Autoreferral" means getting the commission from your own trading accounts. Neither a partner nor his relatives or any partner’s affiliated entities may act as referral.

Yes, you can find the list of your referrals in the "Campaigns" tab by clicking on the "Referral network" link.

The number of referrals is not limited: the more referrals you bring in, the more you will earn.
