Margin Forex Market Spreads & Conditions

Please contact Sonray for pricing.

1) Target Bid/Ask spreads

Our target bid / ask spreads listed are our best possible target spreads used in normal market conditions. In quiet market conditions, the spread may be even narrower but in periods of volatile markets, the spread may be increased and autoexecution disabled. For certain categories of clients, the spreads may in general be wider by up to 2 pips. The spreads applicable to your account will be displayed in your Sonray Trader. Please consult your Introducing Broker or Sonray Capital Markets to obtain further information about our spread range and its implications to your account.

2) Margin Requirements

Margin Forex is traded on margin enabling you to leverage a small margin deposit for a much greater market effect. Margin rates are higher over the weekends. Weekend margin rates apply from 17:OO on Friday to 19:OO on Sunday GMT and on non-banking days.

Margin rates are higher over the weekends. Weekend margin rates apply from 16:00 on Friday to 17:00 on Sunday GMT and on non-banking days .

3) Autoexecuted trades

Major currency trades can be autoexecuted for amounts below the autoexecution limit. Autoexecuted trades are automatically accepted without intervention from the bank. For trade sizes over the autoexecute limit and in volatile market conditions, the trade must first be approved by a dealer which normally takes just a few seconds.

* Note that these are typical autoexecute limits that can change over the day, depending on the market conditions and available liquidity.

Margin calls

You must maintain the margins listed in your account at all times. If the funds in your account fall below this margin, you will be subject to a margin call to either deposit more funds to cover your positions or close positions — normally you will be notified through our trading platform and via email. If your margin situation is not remedied, we may close positions on your behalf.
