TodayFx Risk Disclosure

How do TodayFx earn its Revenue ?

'TodayFx earns a share of the pip spread, or the difference between the currency bid and ask rates. Each pip is the equivalent of 1/100th of a cent and the pip spread between most major currencies is 3-4 pips. You do not pay TodayFx or its brokerage firm a separate fee or commission for the opening or the trading of an account. The cost to you is the quoted pip spread. There are no hidden fees.'

Donal Keane, CEO

Rollover/Interest Policy

At 6:00 PM New York Time (23:00 BST), funds are subtracted or added to accounts with open positions because of the automatic rollover. Funds are added to the account for positions in which the client is long (holding) the currency bearing the higher interest rate. Funds are deducted in the opposite circumstance.The exact calculation is based on 1 day interbank deposit rates and is as follows:

1) (1 day interbank dep. rate for base ccy.) - (1 day interbank dep. rate for counter ccy.) = interest rate differential.
2) Interest rate differential / 365 = daily differential.
3) (Daily differential x total open position in currency pair) / 100.

Full details on overnight interest policy

Up to 100:1 Leverage

Clients must have approximately 1% of the value of the positions they hold in their account for each lot of currency being traded (approximately 100:1 leverage). This equates to $1000 per lot (100,000 units). This amount does not change after 5:00 PM New York time, which is the rollover cut off, but stays constant at approximately 1% per lot the entire day and overnight.

Margin Watcher

There is also an important safety feature imbedded in this system that prevents clients from losing more money than they have in the account. Should the account equity -- meaning the total floating value of the account -- fall below the margin requirement of approximately 1% per lot, the dealing desk will close all positions. This protects the trader from losing more than the funds deposited into the trading account.
