Visual Mode

If you've marked that you have no previous forex trading experience in your registration process, you will be automatically directed to Visual Mode. If you've marked that you do have forex trading experience, you will be automatically directed to Expert Mode. Let's take a closer look at the Visual Mode lobby first. If you prefer to trade in Expert Mode, feel free to skip ahead to the section about Expert Mode.

On the chart below you can find detailed explanations about all the different features you can find here.

1) Trading Navigation Area - This is where you navigate between the different trading arenas, each representing a different approach to forex trading.

2) News Reel - This is where you find a continuous stream of the latest forex news, updates and information that may affect your trading decisions.

3) Switch Trading Mode - the "Trade for Real Money", or conversely the "Practice Trading on Virtual Money" buttons allow you to switch between trading modes without the necessity of logging out. When you are in Real Trading mode, a "Real Trade Mode" indication will appear beneath the news reel.

4) Expert Mode - Use this button to switch between Visual Mode and Expert Mode.

5) My Open Trades - This is where you can see all your currently active trades and how they're fairing in their respective arenas. You can go directly to the trading arena by clicking on the trade of your choice, and you can close the trade directly from the lobby by clicking on "close". Clicking on the "Expand" button will direct you to your trading log where you can see a more detailed description of your trades. This is also where you find your trading log which shows you your active and historical trades.

6) Live FX Rates - This is where you see live, up to date rates on the most popular currency pairs, those being all US Dollar based pairs, and some of the Euro based pairs. This window also displays live rate fluctuations, and clicking on the chart button near each currency pair will show you the graph of this currency pair's performance in the last 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days. You can also view a candlestick chart of the pair and draw your own chart indicators on the chart by using the panel at the top of the chart window.

7) Account Balance and Cashier - Your account balance shows you the available balance that you can use for trading. Clicking on "Click to Deposit" will take you to the cashier where you can process all your deposits and withdrawals.

8) Community panel - Here you'll find public and private chats, our traders' forum, and of course all the ways to contact our support. This is also where you can access our comprehensive tutorials, view challenge rankings and use the Top Traders' Insight tool.

9) History - The history log shows the user all his past trades.

10) Logout - Use this button to exit the platform.

It's important to remember that you can return to the lobby from any arena, at any time, without closing your trades in that arena by clicking on "lobby" at the bottom right of the screen.

Now that we've familiarized ourselves with the lobby, it's time to learn how to set up a basic trade.
