Trading costs matter, particularly if you trade intraday timeframes and scalp. In particular, scalpers and high frequency traders (HFT’s) need to make sure trade entry costs such as the spread and commission are competitive, or it will erode away profits and negatively skew their reward to risk ratio’s.

For example, a scalper who risks 5 pips on EUR/USD and aims to ‘scalp’ 5 pips profit wouldn’t want to be paying a 2-pip spread. Therefore, the Pro account where spreads start at 0.0 pips and charge $7 per lot commission (equivalent to 0.7 pips) would make a more sensible choice.

That said the negative impact of the spread reduces significantly to traders of much higher timeframes, therefore a standard account with our tight spreads should be sufficient to the trader.

We only deal with top-tier liquidity providers so we can offer the tightest spreads, fastest execution and deepest liquidity. By using institutional grade liquidity providers we can accommodate larger traders and still offer a competitive trading environment.

There’s no good reason for a dealing desk to intervene in your trading. And that’s why ThreeTrader do not. Our clients trade with the comfort of knowing that ThreeTrader are here to facilitate your trading, not hinder it.

We never offer requotes, a practice used by some brokers which can prevent traders from entering or exiting a market at their preferred price.

For example, if an HFS trader uses a VPS (virtual private server) which is also located in the NY4 Equinix center, the distance between their VPS and our trading servers are minimal. If you imagine internet servers being connected with string, the shorter the string, the faster the service. This then allows the HFS trader to enter and exit the market with greater speed and at more favorable prices, even though they are located somewhere else around the world. The lag has been reduced to near-zero, and the only lag remaining is the time it takes for trading results to appear on screen of the traders somewhere across the world.

For example, if a traders were long 5 contracts of AUD/USD ($100,000 per contract is equivalent to a $500,000 position) the margin requirement would be $868.75 with 400:1 leverage.

• Long 5x AUD/USD contracts at 0.6950
• 100,000 per contract at 400:1 leverage
• Margin = (# contracts x contract value x entry price) / leverage
• Margin = (5 x 100,000 x 0.6950) / 400
• Margin = $868.75

However, if they were to fully hedge the position by shorting (selling) 5x AUD/USD contracts, the margin requirements would be reduced to $0. In turn this allows the trader to remove risk from the trade and seek other opportunities.

MT4 uses ‘lots’ to calculate trade sizes, as opposed to notional value. For currencies, 1 lot = 100,000 units of base currency. Therefor 1 lot of AUD/USD means you are speculating on the strength of the Australian dollar against US $100,000.

• 1 Lot = 100,000 units of base currency
• 1 lots = 10,000 units of base currency (mini lot)
• 01 lots = 1,000 units of base currency (micro lot)

By allowing mini and micro lots, we allow our traders to speculate markets with a smaller capital outlay and gain finer control of their risk management.

The maximum level of leverage for each market:

• Forex (500:1)
• Indices (100:1)
• Metals (500:1)
• Oil (100:1)
• Cryptos (5:1)

ThreeTrader may be an Vanuatu regulated broker, but we have a global reach where our clients are concerned. And they want to capitalize on our optimal trading conditions and the high standards our VFSC regulators expect from us. By offering alternative funding currencies it can help alleviate some of the currency risk associated with overseas investing.
