    Apart from the balance trading, “locking” is also possible which means that two opposite positions can exist together. The trader can choose between these two trading options when making a deal.
  • Any client has an opportunity to create personal trading instruments PCI (Personal Composite Instrument). Personal instruments are formed by the client from a variety of available assets, have their own spreads, swaps and calculable deep history for building charts and making technical analysis.
  • Program trading, allowing to create and use your own trading programs and indicators through the built in language NTL+;
  • Opportunity of displaying the percentage change in the dynamics of several (up to 10) of financial instruments on the same chart;
