SPREADS

Click here . Also check Forex Brokers comparison table.

MIG generally offers streamline dealing and fixed spreads for all Foreign Exchange and Bullion contracts. However, in certain market conditions and upon MIG's sole discretion, MIG may change the quoted prices and/or spreads in the online trading platform.

SCALPING ( PIP Trading)

MIG accepts scalpers, but as it is difficult to cover such positions in the market, MIG may increase the spreads for clients with scalping strategies. We recommend to use strategy with at least 5 pip targeted profit.

SWAPS:
The rates featured in the list above are the interest rates that are used to calculate the swap for all overnight positions. In order to calculate the swap, the interest rate of the pair in question is multiplied by the pip value of the pair, by the number of lots and by the number of lots the position is held. In short, swaps are calculated on the basis of the following formula:

swap rate (short % or long %) x pip value x number of lots x number of days

To calculate the swap, one must therefore know the swap/interest rate and the pip value in question. For some pairs the pip value is fixed, for others it fluctuates.

Swaps are applied at 0:00 CET. If you don't want swaps to apply to your positions you should close them before midnight CET.

Important notice:
When calculating the swap, the value date is always counting two bank days later. Therefore, if you open your position on Monday and keep it until Tuesday, it will count as if you opened it on Wednesday and kept it until Thursday, in other words 1 day later. However, if you open the position on Wednesday and keep it until Thursday, it will count as if you opened it on Friday and kept it until Monday, in other words 3 days later. Therefore, triple swaps apply to positions kept overnight on Wednesdays! On all other days a single swap applies, including positions held from Friday to Monday.

STREAMLINE DEALING
MIG Investments provides streamline dealing, which means that our clients buy and sell directly on real time prices without a request for a quote. Please be aware that requotes do take place, but only when clients are trying to take advantage of a wrong price quotes in the Market Watch. We do our best to ensure correct prices at all times and hence avoid requotes, however it can still occur.

MAXIMUM DEAL AMOUNT

There is not a maximum amount you can trade online, however there is a maximum to the number of lots you can trade online at streaming prices. It is always possible to trade bigger amounts, but you will need to request a quote and depending on the market conditions, the spread may increase. Clients can also trade bigger amounts by phone

STOP/LIMIT ORDERS EXECUTION. GUARANTEED FILLS
Our dealers always execute orders at the indicated price under normal market conditions. In situations of market gaps it is impossible to cover the positions with our liquidity providers, and you may be filled at a different price than initially requested. Though we do guarantee fills in situations with gaps of up to 20 pips

TRAILING STOPS AND HEDGING

We do offer the trailing stop feature. It is active on the demo platform, and for live accounts we activate it upon written request. The request form is available in the Downloads section or by clicking here.
To activate the Trailing Stop on a position, go to 'Trade' in the 'Terminal' at the bottom of the platform, right-click and choose Trailing Stops. Please note that you have to be making a profit of minimum 15 pips before you can activate it.

Also, you can without any problems open hedge positions (hold both long and short positions of the same pair) on the MIG Trading Station.

Our no maintenance margin policy means that our clients can go below the margin requirements during the week without MIG closing their positions. Throughout the week your positions can fluctuate without MIG taking action. We only require you to respect the margin requirements by Friday evening. This no maintenance margin policy means that we do not give margin calls and we do not automatically close your positions if you go below the margin requirements of your positions. However, if you approach the level where the loss of your open positions approaches the balance of your account, you will be stopped out and your positions will be closed. The stop out will be executed when there is only around 2% equity of the required margin left in the account.
We believe that our no maintenance margin policy gives more flexibility to the clients, as they can decide for themselves when they want a position to be closed. Sometimes if the price is going against you, many of our competitors would close the position if it goes below the required margin - even if the price bounces back the next moment. We give the client complete control over his positions

CURRENCY TRADING OVER THE PHONE:
MIG's dealing room operates 24 hours a day from Sunday 23:00 CET to Friday 23:00 CET.

As a measure of security the client has to state his password every time he trades by phone.

The Client acknowledges and expressly accepts that MIG Investments SA may record all telephone conversations between the parties. Such recordings shall remain the property of MIG Investments SA and the Client agrees to the use thereof or transcript there from as evidence by MIG Investments SA in any dispute or anticipated dispute between the parties under this Agreement.

MINI-LOTS CURRENCY TRADING:
All clients have the possibility to trade mini-lots. The minimum amount clients can trade is 0.1 lot, i.e. 10,000 of the base currency.

In respect of each Contract entered into by MIG Investments SA with the Client, MIG Investments SA will send to the Client a Contract Note by the close of business on the Business Day on which the Contract is concluded, unless the Contract is entered into after 23:00 PM CET in which case, in respect of such Contract Note, the Contract will be treated as having been effected on the next following Business Day. The failure of MIG Investments SA to send a Contract Note will not prejudice the rights and obligations of either party under a Contract. A full history statement in respect to every Account, including any open Contracts which the Client may have, shall be sent to the Client at the Client’s request within two weeks from the receipt of such request by MIG. This statement can also be printed from the Online Service provided by MIG.
