What account types are available with Today Markets?
We offer two CFD account types, both of which can be accessed via our in-house platform and app – or via our seamless integrations with leading third-party technology.
Two Account Examples
Standard account
All fees – apart from any overnight funding – are included in the raw spread which has a 1 pip mark up, and there is no commission to pay on most markets. This provides a straightforward fee structure for newer traders or those seeking an easy-to-manage account
Razor account
This account is designed to give more control over trading costs for high-frequency FX traders
Why CFDs?
A CFD account might be for you if you want:
A trading product that closely mimics the underlying market
Gain similar exposure to buying shares outright, while only having to put down a fraction of the full value of your position. This can amplify both your profits and your losses, so it’s important to manage and understand your risk.
To trade in the currency of the CFD
Capitalise on market movements between the currency of the trade and of your base account.
To hedge an existing portfolio
CFDs can be used to protect against adverse market moves without tying up large amounts of capital.³
Protecting your trading capital
Markets move quickly, so it’s important that you can protect your capital from adverse market movements. All our accounts provide a number of risk-management tools to help you limit any potential losses.
Stop-losses
Before you open a position, you can determine where you’d like your position to be closed if the market moves against you. Specify by price or pips, and view your projected loss before you place the trade.⁵
Trailing stops
These can follow positive market movements, at a set distance away from the current price. So,if the market moves in your favour and then reverses, you can lock in any gains.⁵
Take-profits
Choose where you’d like to close your position and realise any profit if the market moves in your favour. Protect against the risk of losing accrued gains, and free yourself from constantly monitoring the markets.⁵
Alerts
Looking out for specific price action? Set alerts on one or more conditions and receive notification in the platform the moment they are met. You can also opt to set an expiration, and add a description for each alert.
