3angleFX is an STP broker, which stands for Straight Through Processing (STP). This means that the orders of clients are sent directly to liquidity providers, such as banks or larger brokers, without the need for running them through a dealing desk. The big advantage of using STP brokers is that an STP broker only makes money by adding a small commission or marking up the spread. Unlike standard brokers who stand to make a profit from their client’s losses, an STP broker gets the same mark, regardless of whether the client wins or loses. This also means there is no conflict of interest. STP brokers benefit more when their clients win their trades as they can charge a higher fee. CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. The vast majority of retail client accounts lose money when trading in CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

All open positions are automatically rolled or swapped over to the next business day. Traditionally, all spot trades in the FX market are performed for a period of two working days (when the delivery of the transaction takes place). Hence, in order to avoid the delivery of the trade, the positions are automatically closed for the original trade date and reopened for the next trade date. To give maximum advantage to our clients, the open and close rates of the rollover are kept the same as the open position rate. A premium is then added or subtracted based on the difference in interest rate between the two currencies being traded.
Only under certain conditions (e.g. client terminal malfunction) and only certain orders (close, editing of stop loss and take profit). A client is welcome to call the RTO department 24 hours a day Monday to Friday. The RT officer will quote the customer a two way price (bid and ask) and the customer may place the authorized order(s). The RT officer will confirm the trade.
The maximum trade size depends on the instrument you trade. For more information please check our Trading conditions.

For example, if a client has deposited $1,000 he or she will be able to open a trade up to $30,000 in value. A minimum 50% margin must be maintained at all times.

Margin call is at 100% of margin level. If you reach margin call, then you will be addressed either to close some of your open positions or make deposit to strengthen your current open positions.
Stop out is at 50% of margin level. If your margin level decreases to 50%, your positions will start automatically closing.
A Trailing Stop is a stop-loss order that automatically adjusts itself as the market rate moves in the direction of your open position. The trailing price literally trails behind rising prices, allowing you to capture more profits while ensuring that if prices suddenly drop you are still protected by the automatic Stop-Loss order. Important Note for MetaTrader 5 Platform: Since Trailing Stop works on the client terminal side, unlike Stop Loss and Take Profit, that work on the server side, it won’t work if the client terminal is closed. If the client terminal is closed, only Stop Loss that was placed by Trailing Stop before the terminal was closed, can trigger.

Stop Loss orders are used to reduce risk by closing a losing trade once a market passes a trigger value pre-determined by the trader. 3angleFX will do its best to fill your trade at the price requested. However, because the order will close your trade at the best available price once activated, the Stop Loss is exposed to a gapping market. For the sake of absolute transparency, this means 3angleFX cannot guarantee a Stop Loss.

A rollover is when interest is paid or deducted from open positions. Trading currencies always involves two different currencies with their own individual interest rate. When you buy a currency that has a higher interest rate than the sold currency, you will be paid interest. However, when you buy a currency with a lower interest rate than the sold currency you will pay interest, and money will be deducted from your account. A rollover applies only to overnight trades.
