FAQs

Why trade Forex?

Forex trading allows investors to buy and sell currency pairs and make profit from the movement in the exchange rate. Many traders choose Forex because of the high return potential in a very short period of time. However the exchange rate movements can work against you as well as for you. It is possible to lose partially or entirely your initial investment, and therefore Forex is not suitable for all investors.

What is a Pip?

A “pip” is the smallest price change in the exchange rate of a given currency pair.

Example:
EUR/USD one pip = 0.0001 is a change from 1.3258 to 1.3259
USD/JPY one pip = 0.01 is a change from 103.36 to 103.37

The pip is always the fourth digit after the decimal point, except with currency pairs with JPY. Please note that some broker’s quotes are up to the fifth decimal (third decimal for JPY currency pairs). For example, EUR/USD changed from 1.32586 to 1.32592 which means a change of 0.6 pips.

What is a Rebate?

A rebate means the commission that a broker pays to an affiliate partner, such as GainForex.net for referring clients to them. Once we receive the rebates we transfer them on to you.

What is a Round Turn (or Round Trip)?

A Round Turn is when you open and close a trade, with the same currency pair. Example, buy 100,000 EUR/USD and then sell 100,000 EUR/USD, this is one completed trade or one standard lot round turn on EUR/USD.
