ECN: ECN stands for 'Electronic Communication Network' which is simply a technical term that is used to describe how banks and liquidity providers connect to each other to form a bid and offer price. In the Forex industry, it can be used to identify providers who use this type of pricing mechanism in order to offer raw interbank pricing to retail traders. Under this model your broker will stream raw prices and your trades will be offset with another client, a liquidity provider or held internally by the broker. This usually results in faster trade execution. This is distinct from order execution that may result in an offsetting order placed with a liquidity provider.
STP: This term stands for Straight Through Processing and is used when a Forex and CFD provider processes all trades at market prices obtained from liquidity provider(s) not on prices created by the broker themselves. This is not dissimilar to the ECN pricing model in that there is no dealing desk intervention when the trade is processed.
Market Maker: In Australia all Forex and CFD providers including IC Markets have the market making authorisation on their AFS licence, however many do not consider themselves market makers. Typically, market makers operate a dealing desk in order to create their own prices, these prices can be based on their own proprietary trading positions or overall risk exposure and may not reflect the prices in the underlying market.
IC Markets is the issuer of the products it provides. We consider ourselves to be a forex provider offering the ECN pricing model as we source our pricing from external liquidity providers via an ECN, these prices are passed onto you with no dealing desk intervention. In order to provide you with better price certainty and to ensure fast execution speed we do not offset each and every position with our liquidity providers. We do this in order to provide you with a better overall trading experience.

This price is simply passed on by the broker. This is not dissimilar to the ECN pricing model in that the price is not altered and there is no dealing desk intervention when the trade is processed; hence, it is known as STP.
Market Maker: In Australia all Forex and CFD providers, including IC Markets, have the market making authorization on their AFS licence; however, many do not consider themselves market makers. Typically, market makers operate a dealing desk in order to create their own prices. These prices can be based on their own proprietary trading positions or overall risk exposure and may not reflect the prices in the underlying market.
IC Markets is the issuer of the products it provides. We consider ourselves to be a Forex provider offering the ECN pricing model as we source our pricing from external liquidity providers. These prices are passed on to you with no dealing desk intervention. In order to provide you with better price certainty and to ensure fast execution speed, we do not hedge each and every position with our liquidity providers. We do this in order to provide you with a better overall trading experience.
We do not operate a proprietary trading book, we source our prices from external liquidity providers or directly, these prices are then passed onto you with no dealing desk intervention.
Although IC Markets’ prices come from its liquidity providers and IC Market is not practically involved in the making of the price, it is simply streaming prices which it receives; the prices nonetheless become IC Markets’ when it provides them to clients to execute on. This is the case for all derivative products which IC Markets offers to its clients.
If you trade 100,000 (1.00)
Commission is $3.50 for opening, and $3.50 for closing; $7.00 for the full round-turn
If you trade 10,000 (0.10)
Commission is $0.35 for opening, and $0.35 for closing; $0.70 for the full round-turn
If you trade 1,000 (0.01)
Commission is $0.035 for opening, and $0.035 for closing; $0.070 for the full round-turn
On MT4 all commission charge for a position is applied at the opening of the trade.
On MT5 commission is charged per side (opening/closing).
*On MT5 the commission column is not rounded up to 3 decimal places but to 2 decimal places only. Thus, commission on a micro lot size $0.035 per side is rounded to $0.04
Technically, when you buy a product at IC Markets, we are selling that product to you. It is not possible for you to buy that product at the exchange directly to complete the transaction due to the attached requirements for higher trade sizes, and margin costs, etc., thus, it has to be dealt with IC Markets on a principal basis alone.
Typically, market makers are considered to be Forex and CFD providers who operate a dealing desk in order to create their own prices, these prices can be based on their own proprietary trading positions or overall risk exposure and may not reflect the prices in the underlying market. In Australia all Forex and CFD providers have market making authorization on their AFS license however many do not operate in the manner described above and do not consider themselves market makers.
The reason why we are one of the largest and most successful Forex CFD provider in the world is our Tight and Low Spread. Therefore we decided to communicate our strengths even better with this new account name. Nothing else changed. We decided to keep our product offerings as simple as possible for our clients to understand what exactly they’ll be receiving.
Swap rates can also be found within the MetaTrader 4 platform, simply go to the market watch and right click on an instrument and select Specifications. A new window will then open and the swap rates will be displayed.
The trade has to be rolled through the weekend, because banks are closed on Saturday and Sunday. Triple rollover interest is applied to FX trades open at 5pm New York Time on Wednesday, because that marks the beginning of the new 24-hour trading day (Thursday) in the global FX market. Important to note that, it's not always a charge and you can also earn.

关于外汇市场的问题
举例说明,Mary 存款 5000 美元到外汇交易账户,并将账户杠杆比设为 1:30。受杠杆影响, Mary 5000 美元存款的购买力变为 15 万美元。Mary 决定以 0.99802 的价格买入 0.1 手 AUD/USD。三天后,价格涨到 1.04069, Mary 决定平仓。经计算,Mary 所获利润为 (1.04069–0.99802) 426 点。Mary 所开仓位为 0.1 手,获利 426 美元,或每点 1 美元。
当然,如果 AUD/USD 最终价格与 Mary 的仓位方向相背并低于开盘价 0.97802 水平, Mary 将在该交易中亏损 (0.99802–0.95542) 426 点。由于 Mary 的仓位规模为 0.1 手,她将出现 426 美元,或每点 1 美元的亏损。
此处须特别注意的是,外汇交易过程中可能出现亏损,亏损金额有可能超过您的初始存款金额。

With IC Markets, the margin call level is 100% and the stop out level is 50%. This means that, as soon as the margin level drops to 100%, you will see a margin call that is an indication to take an appropriate measure on the account by either reducing the exposure or funding the account further. If the margin level drops further to or below 50% system will automatically start closing out positions to bring back the margin level to a reasonable level.
Commissions have slight differences, but all other aspects are pretty much the same.

关于在线交易外汇的问题
平台将依据下列公式为您客户计算保证金:
所需保证金 = (当前市价 x 交易量) / 账户杠杆比
实例说明所需保证金的计算方式:
如果您以当前市价 1.35645 开立了一个 0.1 手(10000)的 EUR/USD 仓位,且账户杠杆为 1:30,平台将如下计算所需保证金:
(1.35645 x 10000) / 30 = 452.15 美元;
举例说明,仓位的保证金为 452.15 美元;因此,如需开立该规模的仓位,您的交易账户须拥有不低于 452.15 美元的可用保证金。
平台将依据下列公式为客户计算保证金。
保证金水平= 账户净值/已用保证金 x 100%
=保证金水平%
实例
在 10,000 美元(净值)的交易账户上开立 1 个 USD/JPY 标准手仓位,并使用了 30 倍的杠杆比,所需保证金将如下计算:
= 10,000 / 3,333.33 x 100%
= 300% 保证金水平
如果仓位移动方向与您相背,而您的净值跌至 5000 美元水平,计算如下:
= 5,000 / 3,333.33 x 100%
= 150%保证金水平
如果仓位跌幅扩大,且净值跌至 1,663.33 美元,则该仓位将因保证金水平跌破 100% 而强制平仓。
= 1,663.33 / 3,333.33 x 100%
= 49.9% 保证金水平
If Margin Level, falls below Smart Stop Out Level then positions will start being closed partially until Margin Level reaches above Smart Stop Out. The logic of Smart Stop Out will only close what is absolutely necessary from the largest position in order to safely restore Margin Level and protect the position itself, the position entry point and the trading account for as long as possible.
