Account availability depends on your country of residence, eligibility, applicable laws and the products available in your jurisdiction. Registration and verification requirements apply.

Availability varies by jurisdiction. Certain products, services or account features may not be available in every country. The registration process will determine the services available to you.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be asked for identification, proof of address and other information required to verify your identity and meet applicable compliance requirements.

Verification times can vary depending on the information and documentation supplied and whether additional checks are required. Providing complete and accurate information can help avoid unnecessary delays.

Minimum funding requirements, where applicable, depend on the account structure, payment method and services available to you. Please check the applicable terms during the account opening or funding process.

You can use the available contact and support channels provided by Today Markets. For account-specific matters, you may also be able to contact support through your client area.

Depending on your location, account type and product availability, you may be able to access markets including Forex, indices, commodities, precious metals, stocks, cryptocurrencies, bonds and other financial instruments.

Forex, or foreign exchange, involves trading one currency against another through currency pairs. The Forex market is widely traded globally and prices can be affected by economic data, interest rates, central-bank decisions, geopolitical events and market sentiment.

A currency pair represents the value of one currency relative to another, such as EUR/USD. The first currency is the base currency and the second is the quote currency.

Major currency pairs generally involve the US dollar paired with another major global currency. Examples commonly include EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY and USD/CHF.

A Contract for Difference, or CFD, is a leveraged derivative that allows traders to speculate on price movements without necessarily owning the underlying asset. CFDs involve significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors.

Stock-related trading may be available through CFDs or other applicable products, depending on your jurisdiction and account eligibility. Availability varies by market and service.

Index trading may provide exposure to the performance of groups of companies or broader markets. Available indices depend on the products offered in your jurisdiction.

Commodity products may provide exposure to markets such as energy, agricultural and industrial commodities. Product availability depends on your location and account eligibility.

Precious-metal products may include markets such as gold and silver, together with other available metals. The instruments available to you depend on your account and jurisdiction.

Cryptocurrency-related products may be available depending on your location, account type and applicable restrictions. Cryptocurrency markets can be highly volatile and carry significant risk.

Bond-related instruments may be available depending on the products offered to your account. Bond prices can be influenced by interest rates, economic conditions, credit factors and market sentiment.

A long position generally expresses an expectation that the price of an instrument will rise. If the market moves against the position, losses may occur.

A short position generally expresses an expectation that the price of an instrument will fall. If the market rises instead, the position may incur a loss.

The spread is the difference between the bid price and ask price of an instrument. It represents one of the factors traders should consider when assessing the cost of entering and exiting a position.

The bid is the price at which the market may buy an instrument from you. The corresponding ask price is the price at which the market may sell the instrument to you.

Volatility describes how significantly and rapidly an instrument's price changes over a period of time. Higher volatility can create greater opportunities as well as greater potential losses.

Trading availability depends on the opening hours of the relevant market and instrument. Orders may be unavailable or treated differently outside normal trading hours, and prices can change between market sessions.

Select the instrument you wish to trade on your supported platform, choose the relevant order type, enter the required trade details and review the order before submitting it.

A market order is an instruction to open or close a position at the available market price. The final execution price can differ from the displayed price, particularly during fast-moving or volatile market conditions.

A limit order is generally used to seek execution at a specified price or a more favourable price. Whether and when it executes depends on the market reaching the required conditions.

A stop order is generally activated when the market reaches a specified trigger level. The resulting order may then be subject to the available market conditions.

A stop-loss is a risk-management instruction designed to close a position when the market reaches a specified level. It can help manage potential losses, although execution may be affected by market gaps or rapid price movements.

A take-profit order is designed to close a position when a specified price level is reached. It can be used to help manage an intended profit-taking level.

Depending on the platform and order status, you may be able to modify certain elements of an open position or its associated orders. Platform functionality and market conditions apply.

Positions can generally be closed when the relevant market is available for trading. During market closures, suspended trading or exceptional conditions, execution may not be available.

Slippage occurs when an order is executed at a different price from the price expected when the order was submitted. It can occur during periods of rapid price movement, low liquidity or market gaps.

Market prices can change rapidly between the time an order is submitted and the time it is executed. Volatility, liquidity and market conditions can therefore affect the final execution price.

During highly volatile conditions, spreads may change, prices may move quickly and execution conditions may become less predictable. Traders should consider these risks when using leveraged products.

Orders may be declined or unavailable in certain circumstances, including insufficient available margin, market closures, instrument restrictions, technical conditions or other applicable trading requirements.

A market gap occurs when the price moves from one level to another without trading continuously through the prices in between. During a gap, orders may execute at the next available price rather than the exact requested level.

Depending on your location and account eligibility, Today Markets may provide access to platforms including MetaTrader 5 and cTrader, together with supported web, mobile and desktop access options.

cTrader is a professional trading platform designed for accessing financial markets and managing trades. It provides charting, order-management and trading functionality through supported environments.

MetaTrader 5 is a multi-asset trading platform offering tools for charting, market analysis, order management and trading. Availability depends on the account and services offered to you.

The best platform depends on your trading style, preferred tools, experience and device. Compare the available features and choose the supported platform that best matches your requirements.

Mobile trading applications may be available for supported iOS and Android devices, allowing you to monitor markets, manage positions and stay connected while away from your desktop.

Supported desktop and web-based trading options may be available depending on your platform and account. Check the relevant platform information for current system requirements.

Web-based trading may be available through supported platforms, allowing eligible clients to access trading functionality directly from a compatible browser.

Supported platforms may allow you to access your trading account across compatible devices. The exact functionality depends on the platform and account configuration.

Supported trading platforms provide charting and technical-analysis tools that may include indicators and drawing tools. Available functionality depends on the platform you use.

Supported platforms may provide pending-order functionality, allowing traders to specify conditions under which an order should be activated.

An interruption to your internet connection can prevent you from accessing the platform or managing positions manually. Existing orders and positions remain subject to their applicable trading conditions. Always consider connectivity risk when trading.

Account verification helps meet applicable legal, regulatory and compliance requirements. You may be asked to provide identification and address documentation.

Accepted documents depend on your jurisdiction and verification requirements. You may be asked for a valid identity document and proof of residential address.

Proof of address can be required as part of identity and regulatory verification procedures. The document must normally meet the applicable requirements for your account and jurisdiction.

If additional information or documentation is required, you may be contacted to provide clarification or replacement documents. The specific process depends on the reason verification could not be completed.

Certain account information may be updated through your client area or by contacting support. Changes to verified information may require additional checks.

Depending on your account setup, you may be able to request a change to your registered email address through the appropriate support process. Verification may be required.

Password-management options may be available through the client area or platform login process. Use the available password-reset procedure if you have forgotten your current password.

Use the password-reset functionality provided on the relevant login page. If you cannot regain access through the standard process, contact support for assistance.

The availability of multiple trading accounts depends on the account structures and products available to you. Contact support if you require further information.

Account closure may be requested through the applicable support process. Before closing an account, ensure that any open positions and outstanding account matters have been addressed.

Depending on your account and jurisdiction, available funding methods may be displayed in your client area. Select the appropriate method and follow the instructions provided.

Available payment methods vary according to your location, account and applicable payment arrangements. Your client area will display the funding methods available to you.

Processing times vary by payment method and provider. Some payment methods may be faster than others, and additional verification may sometimes be required.

Any applicable fees depend on the funding method, payment provider, account structure and applicable terms. Review the relevant funding information before making a deposit.

Bank-transfer funding may be available depending on your account and jurisdiction. If available, use only the banking instructions provided through the official funding process.

Funding restrictions may apply to third-party payments. Use the payment methods and account-funding instructions provided for your account and contact support if you are unsure.

Withdrawal requests can generally be submitted through your client account. Available methods, processing requirements and applicable conditions may vary.

Withdrawal processing times depend on the payment method, account checks and the receiving financial institution. Additional verification may be required before a withdrawal is processed.

Delays can occur because of verification requirements, payment processing times, incomplete information, banking procedures or other applicable compliance checks.

Whether a withdrawal can be cancelled depends on its processing status and payment method. Contact support as soon as possible if you need assistance with a pending request.

Depending on the product and account, trading costs may include the spread, commissions, overnight financing or other applicable charges. Always review the current terms for the specific instrument you wish to trade.

Commission structures vary by instrument, account and trading conditions. Where applicable, the relevant commission should be reviewed before trading.

Spread conditions depend on the instrument, account and market environment. Spreads can change as market liquidity and volatility change.

Market conditions can affect available pricing and spreads. During periods of high volatility, low liquidity or major market events, spreads may become wider.

Overnight financing refers to charges or credits that may apply when a leveraged position is held beyond the applicable trading session. The amount depends on the instrument, position and applicable terms.

Swap is commonly used to describe the overnight financing adjustment associated with holding certain leveraged positions. Rates can vary by instrument and market conditions.

Fees and charges depend on the account, product, service and applicable terms. Review the relevant fee information before using a particular service.

Applicable costs may be available through the relevant product information, trading platform or account documentation. Costs can vary by instrument and account type.

Leverage allows you to gain exposure to a larger position using a smaller amount of capital. However, leverage increases both potential gains and potential losses.

Margin is the amount of capital required to maintain exposure to a leveraged position. Margin requirements vary by instrument, account and applicable trading conditions.

Free margin generally represents the portion of available account equity that is not currently being used as margin for open positions. The exact calculation depends on the trading platform and account.

Margin level is a measure used to compare account equity with the margin being used by open positions. It can help traders monitor how much margin capacity remains available.

A margin call may occur when available account equity falls relative to the margin required to support open positions. Applicable thresholds and procedures depend on the account and trading conditions.

A stop-out is a risk-control mechanism under which open positions may be automatically closed when account margin falls below an applicable threshold. The relevant threshold depends on the account and applicable terms.

Higher leverage can increase the size of market exposure relative to the capital committed. This can magnify both gains and losses, making risk management especially important.

The risks associated with trading depend on the product, account structure, applicable protections and your individual circumstances. You should understand the relevant product risks and applicable account protections before trading.

Risk-management techniques can include appropriate position sizing, understanding leverage, using stop-loss orders where suitable, monitoring margin and avoiding exposure that is inconsistent with your financial circumstances and experience.

Trading leveraged products involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Consider your objectives, experience, knowledge and financial circumstances before trading.

Technical analysis involves studying historical price behaviour, charts, patterns, indicators and market data to help assess possible future price movements. It does not guarantee future results.

Technical indicators are mathematical calculations applied to market data such as price and volume. Traders may use them to analyse trends, momentum, volatility or other market characteristics.

Support and resistance are commonly used technical-analysis concepts. Support describes an area where buying interest may emerge, while resistance describes an area where selling pressure may appear. Neither level guarantees a future market reaction.

A market trend describes the general direction of price movement over a period. Traders commonly refer to upward, downward and sideways trends when analysing markets.

Candlestick charts display information about an instrument's price over a selected period, including the opening, closing, high and low prices. Traders commonly use them to analyse price behaviour.

A moving average calculates an average price over a specified number of periods. Traders may use moving averages to identify trends and smooth short-term price fluctuations.

The Relative Strength Index, commonly known as RSI, is a momentum indicator used to assess the strength and speed of recent price movements. Like other indicators, it should not be treated as a guarantee of future market direction.

Moving Average Convergence Divergence, or MACD, is a technical indicator commonly used to analyse momentum and trend conditions using relationships between moving averages.

Fundamental analysis considers economic, financial and business factors that may influence the value or price of an asset or market. Examples include interest rates, inflation, economic growth and company financial performance.

An economic calendar lists scheduled economic announcements and events that may influence financial markets. Traders may use it to monitor potentially market-moving releases.

Interest-rate expectations can influence currencies, bonds, equities and other financial markets. Central-bank decisions and changes in market expectations can contribute to price volatility.

Inflation data can influence interest-rate expectations, currencies, bonds, equities and commodities. The market reaction depends on the data, expectations and wider economic conditions.

Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, measures the value of goods and services produced within an economy over a specified period. GDP releases can influence market expectations about economic growth.

Company earnings can influence investor expectations about revenue, profitability and future growth. Market reactions often depend on how reported results compare with expectations.

Educational content is intended to help explain financial markets, trading concepts and analytical approaches. It should not be treated as personalised investment advice, a recommendation or a guarantee of future performance.

Trading availability depends on the instrument and applicable market conditions. Major economic announcements can cause increased volatility, wider spreads and rapid price movements, increasing trading risk.

Market opening hours can change around public holidays. Certain instruments may have reduced hours or temporary closures. Always check the applicable trading schedule before placing orders.

A market gap occurs when an instrument opens or moves to a new price level without continuous trading through all intervening prices. Gaps can occur after market closures or significant events.

Cryptocurrency markets can experience substantial price movements influenced by liquidity, market sentiment, news, technological developments and broader financial conditions. This can increase both potential opportunity and potential loss.

A stop-loss is intended to help manage risk but may not guarantee execution at the exact selected price. During gaps or rapid market movements, execution can occur at a different available price.

Yes. CFDs are leveraged products and can result in significant losses. You should understand how CFDs work, consider your financial circumstances and ensure you understand the applicable risk warnings before trading.

Position size should be considered in relation to your account, experience, financial circumstances, leverage and the amount you could afford to lose. There is no universally appropriate position size for every trader.

No. Financial markets are uncertain and trading outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Past performance and historical market behaviour do not guarantee future results.
