What strategy is the best for trading currency pairs when having a Premium account from IronFX?

Asked by Shahnon Hakam (2 weeks ago)

Absolutely any strategies you are comfortable trading with. There are many strategies out there, but if you are certain that they are profitable and effective enough, then you are free to use it.

Helpful Report

Answered by Dadi Prayoga (1 week ago)

The premium account is a well-balanced account type, and its trading terms make it suitable for various trading strategies. There is no trading commission with this account, only spreads. So, it can be a good fit for short-term and long-term trading strategies. However, it is not an ECN account type, so if you want to scalp with this account, it is probably best to do with major FX pairs, where spreads are tight. For the other fx pairs, maybe it is better to keep your trades open a bit longer.

Is it really beneficial to be part of the VIP rooms or is it just a gimmick?

Helpful Report

Asked by Siphokazi Venter (1 month ago)

In my opinion, their idea to create these VIP rooms is great! I can't say that many traders have the same opinion as me because I haven't talked to each of them :D But I can say that I'm getting bored of trading. Even though I make a profit from trading, sometimes I'm just too lazy to analyze markets. And thanks to this VIP room system, I feel like I have additional goals. And now one of my goals is to reach a high level here.

Well, at the beginning I was skeptical about this option. But one day I was like why not to try? You see, I have already been a customer for a substantial period of time and the broker treated me quite well in terms of feedback, trading conditions and overall infrastructure. So I tried it.Well, I am glad I made that decision and tasted the VIP room. With this feature I got these: -Market forecasts. The broker offers market research whose quality is on par with instituional. - Chat with an analyst. Every forecast comes with a special discussion panel and you can aks analysts your qeustions! So, you basically get 1-to-1 personalised support from broker's award winning team of experts. Through the chats I got valuable insights on market developments and utilized it to my advantage. I suggest you to try it out, I believe you will thank me later! It is more than just beneficial.

What was the tightest spread you have seen on this platform and which asset was it for?

1 Helpful Report

Asked by Frankie Dee Thay (3 months ago)

Man, I ain't remember seriously... I know for sure that I don't pay a lot of spreads and I see it according to my balance on the account. Perhaps, I managed to catch 0.3 pips, but it's very roughly speaking, I know that it was no more than 1 pip. It was a liquid pair... eur/usd or smth. In any case, I have an experience of trading different assets and for all spreads don't dilate much. I am focused more on fx majors so far, thus if you avoid high volatility, then spreads are favorable.

Is it better to have an Ironfx account with fixed spread or with floating spread?

1 Helpful Report

Asked by P. Satwant (3 months ago)

This is a kind of question that can not be answered straightforwardly. Both spread types offer their own advantages, and it's beneficial that IronFx provides the option for clients to choose. Ultimately, it depends on your trading strategy. Floating spreads tend to be tighter, but they are highly influenced by the market volatility and trading hours. On the other hand, with fixed spreads, you are at peace, whenever you trade you know the spread. They are preferred by traders with strict risk management strategies.

Helpful Report

Answered by Manoj (3 months ago)

Depends. Some traders prefer fixed spreads. These are mainly those who don't open and close many positions within a day, so-called positional or swing traders. Others stand for floating ones, it refers to scalpers or day traders. So, define your trading strategy and style first, only then make up your mind about which spread type is better. It's actually simple, and everything depends on your preferences.

First of all, it’s not a tool, it’s a full-fledged platform made by Ironfx to facilitate the copy trading process. That's how I would describe it. To utilize it you just have to login into it either as a copier, or as a strategy provider. And the rest is just like on any other trading platform. I think if you trade yourself you will figure out.

Why Ironfx’s trading ACADEMY is so popular among the trading community?

1 Helpful Report

Asked by Pramoj H (7 months ago)

This is a good question since the broker’s trading academy enjoys a really good reputation among traders. Why? First of all for the quality of the educational materials. They are written with an understandable vocabulary that even those without an economic or financial education background could easily understand. Second, the types of educational resources are vast, from ebooks to webinars, seminars and videos. Whatever your preferred way of learning is, you will have it with IronFx. Finally, there are resources for every level of experience. You can start from the basics of trading, but also you can sharpen your trading skills with subjects for more advanced traders.

I see no reasons for it not to be popular and hyped. Academy is all about education and important skills, even though some skeptical enthusiasts note that skills are all about practice. I assume that skills can be obtained in the theoretical form, too. Anyway, their academy is popular because of its versatility and comprehensiveness. It's a 100 in 1 solution, you dig? Courses, webinars, videos, e-books, glossary, and all these things are packed in one academy. For me that is the reason.

What would you say about the possible profitability in Commodities trading here, in terms of what you think about the cost of trading?

Helpful Report

Asked by Ramon Campos (9 months ago)

I think the conditions here are quite favorable. I'll give you some proof: - Swaps for any commodity are 0. So by holding open positions for a long time, you won't make a loss. - The minimum contract size is 0.01. The step size is also 0.01, so you can flexibly adjust the size of your orders. The terms are quite favorable, as you can see. Considering all other broker instruments and services, this is an excellent offer.

Helpful Report

Answered by Miguel Benito (9 months ago)

It depends when you are trading commodities that is the most important aspect. There is no big difference in trading costs but you are gonna have to think about the market cycle in order to trade commodities. When everything is okay people don't put much money there but when things go bad it is very hot. So if you take a look at charts you will notice what periods I refer to. Good profits!

What tool or feature of the broker do you think makes traders the most money?

Helpful Report

Asked by Kevin Molina (10 months ago)

Without any doubt, it's the leverage option :P Leveraging allows traders to amplify their trading positions, potentially multiplying their profits. However, it's important to note that leverage can also magnify losses, requiring careful risk management and a solid trading strategy. So, while leverage can be a valuable tool, it's crucial to use it wisely and responsibly ;)

How can Market Buzz help traders save time and make better trading decisions?

Helpful Report

Asked by Nanthit Temirak (10 months ago)

Oh, is that a feature from trading central? I examined it right after I joined this broker as it was super wondering for me to find out more about different functions here. Firstly, you are granted an instant direct access to the information about the assets you are interested in. You don't need to rummage a lot in tons of useless info. Secondly, I cherish this function for showing me trending topics where you can easily assess what's going to be hyped soon. Summing up, it indeed saves your time, otherwise there would be no sense for a broker to ensure this function and maintain its sustainability.

Answered by Aroon (10 months ago)

To be honest I have no idea what Market Buzz is. And if I have no idea then it’s not very useful in general, cuz all the tools that are in the Ironfx school are genuinely valuable for trading. Judging by the name Market Buzz is some sentiment tool to define the direction of the particular asset in the very moment in time. There are plenty of such tools out there and I don’t find them worthy of my attention.

What are the features of IronFX's trading platform, and how does it differ from the MT4?

Helpful Report

Asked by Pramod Adulet (11 months ago)

First of all it can't be downloaded on the desktop, unlike the MT4 which is available for downloading on your computer. Ironfx platform can be used only via web application or mobile one. Secondly, of course the dashboard, icons location are also different, otherwise there is no sense to provide more than one trading paltform. All other features are pretty similar, all tools are available for technical analysis.

Answered by Nuur Shabani (11 months ago)

First of all, the Ironfx platform has only two versions: webtrader and mobile app. Whereas Metatraders have also a desktop version in addition to the two mentioned. Other then that I also know that the Ironfx webtrader somehow syncs with the MT4 platform so that you can trade on MT4 while using the Ironfx webtrader. Sounds a bit complicated but in practice it’s not that hard.

Yes this broker has several trading platforms. And every client of this company can choose the platform that suits him best. As you correctly pointed out in your question, apart from the MetaTrader platform, the broker has its own application which can be used to trade in the financial markets. The main advantage of this trading platform is that it can be used on a smartphone. That is, all trading activities can be performed using a mobile device and you do not need to be in front of your computer. Yes, the MT4 platform has a mobile and web version. But I am sure that there are traders like me who think that the mobile version of MT4 is not as convenient as the broker's own platform.

Which account to choose in order to trade equities? Which one suits best?

Helpful Report

Asked by Javier Moreno (11 months ago)

I trade equities and other CFDs on "VIP Live Fixed Spreads Account". This account offers tight fixed spreads, which can be beneficial for trading equities. Additionally, it has a reasonable minimum trading lot and no commission, making it a cost-effective option for trading. Furthermore, the account offers a nice leverage, which can provide more trading opportunities. As of now, I am content with this account and would suggest it for equity trading. Nevertheless, since I have not traded in other areas, my ability to make a comparison is limited; thus conducting your own research is advisable.

What is the point of giving the client access to Live accounts if the broker has STP/ECN accounts?

Helpful Report

Asked by Tugiman (11 months ago)

There are many factors that urge people to choose live accounts instead of ECN/STP. For instance, live accounts are characterized by bigger choice of base currency, higher leverage and some other crucial for traders things. Undoubtedly, order execution is far more speedy if we talk about ECN/STP accounts, nevertheless, when you are trading you barely notice the difference in order execution. Everything is because the broker did its best to ensure smooth trading for its clients regardless of their choice.

Helpful Report

Answered by Fernando (11 months ago)

It all depends on the trading conditions you need. Specifically, it depends on what trading conditions you need for your trading strategy to bring the maximum return. Live accounts have advantages over STP/ECN accounts. That's why the broker gives maximum opportunities to its clients.

What is the fundamental difference between STP/ECN accounts and Live accounts?

Helpful Report

Asked by Benjamin (11 months ago)

ECN or STP accounts have a different system of order execution which differs from the traditional system used on Live accounts. This system is characterized by the fact that orders go to the interbank market directly without intermediaries. Thus the speed of execution of these orders is higher than traditional ones.
