Frequently Asked Questions

Forex CFDs (Contracts for Difference) allow you to speculate on the price movements of currency pairs without owning the underlying assets. This means you can profit from both rising and falling markets by taking long or short positions on major, minor, and exotic currency pairs.
In Forex trading, currency pairs are categorized into Major, Minor, and Exotic pairs, each offering different liquidity and volatility levels. Major pairs are the most traded currency pairs globally and always include the USD. Examples: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD. These pairs have high liquidity, tight spreads, and lower volatility. Minor pairs, also known as crosses, do not include the USD but involve major global currencies. Examples: EUR/GBP, GBP/JPY, AUD/CAD. These pairs have moderate liquidity and slightly wider spreads than majors. Exotic pairs consist of one major currency and one from an emerging or smaller economy. Examples: USD/SGD, EUR/TRY, GBP/ZAR. These pairs have lower liquidity, higher volatility, and wider spreads, making them riskier but potentially more profitable.
Versus Trade offers a wide selection of major, minor, and exotic currency pairs, providing diverse trading opportunities. Major Pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, AUD/USD, NZD/USD, USD/CAD. Minor Pairs: EUR/GBP, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, CAD/JPY, AUD/CAD, NZD/JPY, EUR/CAD, EUR/CHF, EUR/SEK. Exotic Pairs: USD/ZAR, USD/TRY, EUR/CNH, GBP/PLN, USD/HUF, USD/SGD, HKD/JPY, MXN/JPY, TRY/JPY. With over 70+ currency pairs available, Versus Trade ensures access to high liquidity, volatility, and market opportunities for all trading styles.
The Forex market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, offering non-stop trading opportunities. Trading hours start on Monday at 00:01 and end on Friday at 23:59 (server time GMT+2). Forex trading sessions overlap globally, meaning different time zones create high-volatility trading windows.
Versus Trade provides access to MetaTrader 5 (MT5), a professional trading platform that offers: Advanced charting tools for in-depth market analysis, real-time price data for accurate trading decisions, multiple order execution types for flexible trading, and automated trading capabilities with Expert Advisors (EAs). MT5 is available on desktop, web, and mobile, ensuring seamless access to global markets.
Margin requirements are temporarily increased to protect clients from potential losses during periods of extremely high volatility. Starting 15 minutes before and until 5 minutes after major economic news is released, new trades on affected Forex instruments will use a reduced maximum leverage of 1:500. This measure helps mitigate risk and protect client accounts when sharp and unpredictable price swings are likely.
