Pre-configuration Planning:

Before putting into operation, you should define your offering terms:

  • Spreads
  • Swaps
  • Commissions
  • Leverage & Margin Call Ratio

These inputs are essential for segmenting your trading environment into ‘Domains’ based on two principles:

  • Domain-level configuration → spread and swap
  • Account-level configuration → leverage, commission, margin call
