Forex across the day.
Majors and crosses through the four centres that shape the trading day, with leverage, stops and margin working just as they do across Meridian.
-
The sessions
The week opens in Sydney and moves to Tokyo, then London holds the middle of the day before New York takes it to the close.
-
Seven quote currencies
With AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, NZD, USD and JPY, most pairs are quoted the way you already think of them.
-
Leverage you can read
A live margin ratio does the maths for you, on cross margin with up to x200 per position.

The usual trading hours of each centre, plotted on a UTC clock. Crypto has no window of its own and trades all day, every day.
Before you start
Which session suits me best?
The one you'll be awake for. Most volume sits in the London and New York overlap, yet a quieter session you can watch beats a busier one you'd miss.
Does trading stop when a session ends?
Forex pairs keep to the market week. In the gaps crypto keeps trading, which is why the two share one account.
How does margin work here?
The gauge next to the ticket shows how much of your margin is committed. Behind it is cross margin: one pool for all open positions.
Can stops be placed in percent?
You can. Give either a percentage from your entry or a fixed price for stop loss and take profit.
