1 Maximum volume of a transaction expressed in lot. 

2 The figures in columns represent the quantity of points charged to a customer’s open position if it is rolled over to the following day. These values are calculated based on differences between short-term interest rates. Since the value date is the second business day after a transaction is entered into, Monday next week is the value date for transactions entered on Wednesday. Accordingly, from Wednesday to Thursday swaps are charged in triple size.

3 Collateral for a lock position is calculated as follows: For example, we have an open buy position of 1.0 EUR/USD and a sell position of 1.0 EUR/USD; for this lock position (with leverage of 1 to 100) for МТ4 collateral will be 250 EUR + 250 EUR = 500 EUR.

4 In the period from 23:55 till 00:05 EET (bank rollover) liquidity is reducing, spread and processing time of customer orders may be increased.
