Stock CFDs cover popular shares from major global exchanges. Apple, Google, Tesla, and other tech giants are available for trading. European stocks include Volkswagen, Nestle, and ASML shares.

Indices represent entire market sectors or countries. The S&P 500, FTSE 100, and DAX 30 are popular choices. These instruments provide broader market exposure than individual stocks.

Trading Conditions On MT4

Minimum lot sizes start at 0.01 for most currency pairs. This micro lot size equals 1,000 units of base currency. Standard lots represent 100,000 units for larger position sizes.

Maximum lot sizes vary by instrument and account type. Forex pairs typically allow up to 200 standard lots per trade. Stock CFDs may have lower maximum position limits.

Swap rates apply to positions held overnight. These rates can be positive or negative depending on interest rate differentials. The platform automatically calculates and applies swap charges.

Margin requirements change based on leverage and instrument type. Higher leverage reduces margin requirements but increases risk exposure. The platform shows required margin before trade execution.
