Trading Conditions

Elefin offers CFDs on Forex, metals, energies, indices, US/UK shares and cryptocurrencies. Product availability may depend on account type, platform settings, jurisdiction, trading hours and Elefin risk controls.

Elefin offers major, minor and exotic currency pairs. The exact list of symbols should be checked in MT5 or the Elefin instrument list, because availability and conditions may change.

Yes. Elefin supports precious metals such as Gold and Silver as CFDs. Gold pricing is listed on the platform and charges may subject to current market conditions.

Yes. Elefin supports energy CFDs such as US oil and UK oil. Energy markets can be volatile and may have specific trading hours, contract specifications and margin requirements.

Yes. Elefin offers leading global stock index CFDs. Index CFDs track price movements of market indices but do not provide ownership of underlying shares or index components.

Yes. Elefin offers popular global share CFDs. Share CFDs allow clients to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying shares, dividends or voting rights unless specifically stated in the contract specification.

Yes. Elefin supports cryptocurrency CFDs such as BTC, ETH and other major crypto instruments where available. Crypto CFDs can be highly volatile and may experience rapid price movement, gaps and liquidity changes.

No. CFDs are derivative contracts based on price movement. When trading CFDs with Elefin, you do not own the underlying currency, metal, share, index component, oil contract or cryptocurrency.

Fixed spreads are published spreads intended to provide predictable trading costs. Even with fixed spreads, execution can still be affected by slippage, requotes, volatility, liquidity and market gaps.

The EUR/USD spread on the Standard account is from 1.0 pip. This corresponds to an indicative all-in cost of about USD 10 per standard lot under the current published structure.

The EUR/USD spread on the Pro account is from 0.7 pip. This corresponds to an indicative all-in cost of about USD 7 per standard lot under the current published structure.

Gold, shown as XAU/USD, is listed from 2.4 pips on Standard and from 2.0 pips on Pro. Actual trading experience may still depend on execution, volatility and platform conditions.

Bitcoin, shown as BTC/USD, is listed from USD 26 per lot on Standard and from USD 22 per lot on Pro. Crypto markets can be highly volatile, so clients should review symbol specifications before trading.

Slippage occurs when an order is executed at a price different from the requested price. It can be positive or negative and is more common during volatility, low liquidity, news events and market open or close.

Yes. Requotes may occur when the requested price is no longer available or when market conditions change between order placement and execution. Requotes are more likely during fast-moving or illiquid markets.

Elefin seeks to provide consistent execution, but execution at a specific price or time is not guaranteed. Factors such as price, speed, likelihood of execution, cost, size and order type can affect execution outcomes.

Standard MT5 order types such as market, limit and stop orders may be supported subject to platform rules. Clients should review how each order type works before using it in live trading.

No. Stop-loss orders are designed to reduce risk, but they are not guaranteed to execute at the exact requested price. Gapping, volatility and liquidity conditions may cause execution at a different level.

Trading hours vary by instrument. Forex is generally available during the global trading week, while metals, energies, indices, shares and crypto CFDs may have different trading sessions or maintenance breaks. Check MT5 symbol specifications before trading.

Yes. Although Elefin publishes fixed spreads, volatile or illiquid conditions can still affect execution quality, slippage, requotes, gaps and order acceptance. Major news events can increase trading risk significantly.

Scalping may be permitted if it is genuine trading and does not exploit latency, pricing errors, feed faults or abusive execution practices. Elefin may void trades or restrict accounts involved in manipulation, arbitrage abuse or non-genuine activity.

Hedging availability depends on platform settings and account rules. If allowed, clients remain responsible for margin requirements and risks on all open positions.

Strategies that exploit latency, pricing errors, feed delays, manifest errors or platform faults are prohibited. Elefin may void trades, adjust balances, restrict accounts or withhold profits arising from abusive trading.

Yes. Elefin may void trades or adjust balances if trades result from manifest error, price spikes, feed errors, abusive trading, manipulation, fraud or force-majeure events as allowed by its policies.

A contract specification describes the trading conditions for a symbol, including lot size, minimum volume, maximum volume, trading hours, margin requirements, swap status and other rules. Traders should review specifications before placing trades.

A standard lot is the platform’s standard contract size for a given instrument. The value of a standard lot differs between Forex, metals, oil, indices, shares and crypto CFDs, so always check the symbol specification before calculating risk.

The minimum trade size on Elefin account specifications is 0.01 lot. However, the monetary value and risk of 0.01 lot vary by instrument and leverage.

The maximum lot size in the published account specifications is 200 lots. Elefin may still apply liquidity, risk, symbol-specific or account-specific restrictions to large orders.

Trading accounts are subject to standard charges and commissions depending upon the market conditions. If any commission or additional account charge applies, it will be clearly shown in the current instrument or account specification.

Trading cost affects breakeven level and profitability. Frequent traders should especially understand spreads, slippage, lot size and any payment or conversion charges because small costs can accumulate over many trades.

Yes. Fixed spreads can make costs more predictable, but they do not remove market risk. Volatility, leverage, gaps, liquidity changes and execution differences can still create rapid losses.
