PLATFORMS
EGM Futures uses the most advanced and modern platform available to traders today. The MT5 platform has new features compared to the other platforms, which makes it particularly attractive. First of all, all the tools available and the look of your screen are very easy to use. Secondly, the execution of orders is more accurate and faster. And thirdly, it has the ability to add many more technical indicators and to compare several temporary chart spaces on the platform. Last but not least, it is possible to download the platform on both the computer and mobile phone.
LEVERAGE
1:500 for Forex and precious metals, and 1:100 for CFD. The Spread is the same for both types of accounts, premier, and executive.
TRADE SIZES
The minimum trade size is 0.01 lot, a micro-lot, which is equivalent to 1,000 units of the base currency.
TRADING COSTS
Depending on the type of account, the expenses will be different. In the Premier account, you will only pay the spread (the difference between supply and demand prices). In the Executive account, the spread is more economical but you will pay a commission of 7 USD per lot traded.
However, like any broker, traders will pay a swap for transactions that remain open overnight. Swaps are interests based on the economic conditions and policies of the central bank of the country of origin of the currency.
