Standard contract
of the Forex market is 100,000 currency units. The average leverage is 1 to 100. In order to reduce the deposit for the minimum transaction, the client can choose leverage 1:500 when registering an account. This leverage means a deposit of 2 cents for a Cent account and 2 dollars for a Classic account.
Note
All volumes for Cent accounts are 100 times smaller. 1 USD cent = 0.01 USD.

Forex Architect reserves the right to change the leverage to 1:25.
| From $0 to $5,000 | 1:2000 |
| From $5,000 to $10,000 | 1:1000 |
| From $10,000 to $100,000 | 1:500 |

Margin
term for free funds on the account required to open and maintain an order in the trading process.
If Lock Protection is triggered when the set Stop Loss or Take Profit is reached, the closing of the order will be rejected and the Stop Loss or Take Profit values will be reset to zero.
Forbidden
1. close orders, the closing of which will lead to an increase in the total (net) position and/or total (net) margin on the instrument 1 hour before the close of the trading session on Friday or 1 hour before the break in trading on the instrument. New positions are opened with a reduced leverage of 1:100 for Forex and 1:40 for commodities.
2. close orders that will increase the total (nat) position and/or total (nat) margin on accounts thirty (30) minutes before the publication of important news (marked as 'Medium' or 'High' in our economic calendar) and/or within thirty (30) minutes after the publication of important news (marked as 'Medium' or 'High' in our economic calendar) for which increased market volatility is expected. During this period, new positions may be opened at a reduced leverage of 1:100 for Forex and 1:40 for commodities (leverage changes may be applied at the sole discretion of Forex Architect at any time within thirty (30) minutes before or after the release of important news and may be lower or higher than previously stated).
Please note that for trading accounts that are on our MarketPlace liquidity aggregator, the margin value will be recalculated according to the leverage of the trading account when the market opens on Monday.
Locked margin
margin for maintaining opposite (locked) positions for the same instrument. The margin for maintaining locked positions with the same volume is zero. However, to open a locking order, the trading account must have enough funds in the full amount of the required margin and only after its opening the amount of margin for locking orders will be equal to 0.
swap
is charged automatically during rollover (when an order is rolled over to the next calendar day). From Wednesday to Thursday, the swap is charged at triple the rate. The swap changes over time according to the interest rates of the currencies. Please note that for trading accounts on our MarketPlace liquidity aggregator, the swap is charged at 23:00 terminal time.
Exception
Currency pairs with RUB and CAD, on these pairs triple swap is charged from Thursday to Friday.
Lock Protection
a function that rejects closing a lock if closing one of the locked positions will cause the level of free funds on the account to drop below 100%. In this case, you will receive the message "There are not enough free funds on the account". Such an order can be closed using the "Overlap" function.
If Lock Protection is triggered when the set Stop Loss or Take Profit is reached, the order closing will be rejected and the Stop Loss or Take Profit values will be reset to zero.
This condition applies to trading accounts where orders are executed on our proprietary aggregator MarketPlace.
Margin Call level
the required margin level for Forex activity. This is the ratio of the balance amount to the floating profit minus the floating loss. The Margin Call level can be considered as a warning - on weekends and holidays it can be increased up to 100% for accounts with leverage up to 1 to 100 and up to 500% for accounts with higher leverage.
Stop Out level
margin level, when reached, automatic forced closing of positions is carried out due to high risk of negative balance. Orders are forcibly closed until the margin increases. Please note that our company uses Stop Out level to reduce the risk of our clients reaching negative balance.
Note
Clients should not use Stop Out levels as part of a risk management strategy. Instead, Stop Loss orders should be used. Please note that for trading accounts using MarketPlace liquidity aggregator, when the critical Stop Out/Credit Stop Out level is reached, all pending orders are closed automatically. Values of Margin Call and Stop Out levels can be viewed in the table of user parameters.
Gap level
criterion for activation of the gap mode. If the price gap is equal to or greater than one spread of a given instrument, the gap mode is activated. It is used for automatic execution of orders (Stop Loss and Take Profit are also executed at the gap price). Activation occurs on the second tick after the gap mode is deactivated.
Note
Gap mode does not apply to trading accounts where orders are executed on our own aggregator MarketPlace. Therefore, pending orders, including Stop Loss and Take Profit, are executed at the market price, so slippage of even 1 pip is possible. If the price has not been confirmed by the liquidity provider, market and pending orders, including Stop Loss and Take Profit, may not be executed.
Closed/Gap
If a pending order was placed with Take Profit and/or Stop Loss, and the market price jumped the order price and Take Profit/Stop Loss price, the order will be opened at the gap price and then closed at the market price with the comment [closed/gap]. The end result of this order will be negative in the amount of one spread.
The Company reserves the right to apply or not to apply these trading conditions without prior notice.
