The changes of trading conditions apply to some instruments due to high volatility

Dear Clients,

Britain's referendum is over, but high volatility and low liquidity still persist in financial markets. To protect clients' positions and the company's responsibilities from the risks related with the referendum's outcome, margin requirements on some trading instruments will be raised temporarily. Changes will be in place up to and including June 27.

The changes of trading conditions apply to the following instruments:

GBPUSD, EURGBP, GBPCHF, GBPJPY, GBPAUD, GBPCAD, and GBPNZD – the margin required for opening new orders totals 2% of the deal size; the margin required for holding opened positions makes up 1%.

EURUSD, EURJPY, EURCHF, EURAUD, EURCAD, EURNZD – margin is raised to 0.5%.

GBP exotic crosses, EUR exotic crosses – margin is raised to 1% and 0.5%, respectively.

Stock indices are available only for closing.

A return to usual trading conditions will be announced later.

Success with InstaForex: company’s clients closed more than 200,000 winning trades on Brexit news.

On June 23, 2016 the Britons voted in the referendum on whether the UK should remain or leave the European Union.

The outcome came as a surprise to most market players in Forex. On the day when Brexit was declared, InstaForex clients closed more than 200,000 winning trades on GBP, thus gaining total profit of over $6 million.

Importantly, despite extreme volatility and a complicated market environment in the course of the referendum and vote count, InstaForex offered the most favorable trading conditions, in particular leverage of 1:1,000 for several popular currency pairs. At the same time, a lot of brokers restricted leverage to 1:20-1:33.

Hedging now available on МТ5

Dear Traders!

You now have an opportunity to choose either a hedging or netting arrangement when opening an account for trading via MetaTrader 5 platform. MT5 accounts were originally created for exchange trading based on the netting system. This implies that a trader can only have one position opened on a given financial instrument at one time, and all subsequent operations on the asset will lead to a change of volume, closure, or reversal of the deal.

The new version of MetaTrader 5 now features the hedging system. It enables traders to open as many orders on a specified trading instrument as they like, including opposite positions. That way you can apply locking strategies, i.e. open an order in the opposite direction if you are already running a losing deal.

Both hedging and netting accounts have certain benefits. Before MetaQuotes Software Corp. added the hedging feature to MT5, traders who preferred hedging could only use the MT4 platform. From now on, hedging has been made available to MetaTrader 5 users as well.

If you are a holder of an MT5 account and would like to switch to hedging, please contact our client support team for assistance.

The company congratulates Saiful Amri and invites those who failed to try again.

InstaForex Olympic Bonus



In the context of the Olympic Games in Rio, we are launching a new campaign, the Olympic Bonus. Referring to the campaign's rules, holders of live trading accounts can apply for the Olympic Bonus which equals 15% of a deposit. The campaign is in effect as long as the Summer Olympic Games are taking place in Rio de Janeiro from August 5 to 21, 2016.

The weighty argument for the Olympic Bonus is that a client can receive it as a supplement to 30% Bonus. In other words, a trader receives a nice extra of 45% instead of 30% on a trading account.

The Olympic Bonus is provided only once for the accounts which passed at least the first level of verification. The bonus is not cancelled after the Olympic Games are over. So the bonus money still remains in a client's account.

Owners of all types of accounts are invited to take part in the campaign, though the bonus is not available to MT5 accounts.

Hurry up to receive the bonus as the campaign term coincides with the 2016 Summer Olympic Games!

Find inspiration from the Olympic Games and boost your profit with InstaForex bonus!
