How do I transfer funds to my trading account?
You can transfer your money from your personal banking account or credit card (Visa and Mastercard). The owner of the bank account must be identical with the receiver. Cash deposits and transactions from third-persons are not accepted. Your transaction must be made to an account of Barclays Bank in England or J.P. Morgan in Frankfurt, Germany. Personal cheques are also accepted.

Which products are tradable?
You can trade more than 8500 CFDs from 24 countries. You have the free choice between individual equities and etfs, index cfds, commodity cfds, forex cfds, interest rates and inflation rates. Additionally you are able to trade more than 120 forex pairs through microlots of 1,000, minilots of 10,000 up to standard lots of 100,000 trading size.

Do I need experience in order to trade CFDs and Forex?
Yes. Customers trading with CFDs and Forex are required to have previous experience as leverage trade carries a substantial risk.

What is a Mini Account?
Mini-accounts are starting at 500 Euro or equivalent value. Your deposits are as usual kept segregated and 100 % protected against insolvency. You have all important currency pairs available as well as the entire CFD product range. The only difference between a mini and a standard account is the respective margin requirement and the lot size. While the mini-account has a pre-set lot size of 10,000 and Forex margin of 0.25 %, these values can be freely adjusted in the standard account.

What is the difference between a Mini- and Standard Account?
In general the mini account is only available for trading forex. On request we can add cfds also. Only the Autochartist Software is available for standard accounts from 2,000 Euro on.
