Spot FX at MarketsAll
Trade currency pairs at the current market rate on MetaTrader 5, with the same account conditions that apply across MarketsAll.
What Is Spot FX?
A spot foreign exchange trade is an agreement to exchange one currency for another at the rate quoted now. Positions are opened and closed on the platform, and profit or loss settles in your account currency.
Currency pairs quote one currency against another. The rate shows how much of the second currency, the quote currency, buys one unit of the first, the base currency. Buying the pair backs the base currency to strengthen against the quote currency.
Spot FX and Currency CFDs both give exposure to the same underlying rates. The difference is the contract you use, not the market you are trading.
Spot FX and CFDs Compared
Both are available through the same MetaTrader 5 account.
The instrument list on the MetaTrader 5 server is always the current reference for what can be traded and on what conditions.

Currency Trading Risks
-
Leverage
Leverage magnifies losses as much as gains. A small move against your position can exceed the margin you placed.
-
Volatility
Rates can move sharply around economic releases and central bank decisions, and spreads can widen at those times.
-
Overnight Costs
Positions held overnight are subject to a swap adjustment, which can be positive or negative.
Risk warning: CFDs and leveraged products are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. MarketsAll does not provide investment advice, and nothing on this page is a recommendation to trade. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
