General FAQ
What is the minimum deposit for a live account with JFD?
The minimum deposit is either 500 EUR (account in euro), 500 CHF (account in Swiss francs), 500 GBP (account in pound sterling), or 500 USD (account in US dollars). You can also make your initial payment into an account operated in euro in USD, for example. However, please note that you need the equivalent of 500 EUR in USD to be able to utilise the live account.
Does JFD offer different accounts for different investment volumes?
No. There is only one market and only one spread. Each trader is given the same market access with JFD. We believe that this is the most transparent option and that each trader deserves to get the best market access. Traders trading high volumes are able to get rebates on the commission payable. Rebates can be granted based on a proven volume traded.

Please send an email regarding this to support@jfdbrokers.com

Yes, a commission is charged when trading via JFD. From our rates, you can see what spreads the market offers at the time (FX, stocks) or the spread we need for hedging ourselves in a particular reference market (CFDs on indices, commodities).
Does JFD permit scalping and automated trading?
Yes, we welcome scalping and automated trading regardless of your trading style. We allow the use of any Expert Advisor (automated trading system), except for our Physical Stock instruments.
What is the smallest order size?
The minimum order size in Forex trading is 0.01 lot or 1 microlot (1,000 units of base currency), and for CFDs on indices, and commodities 1 lot (= 1 CFD). The minimum order size for DMA equity CFDs is 1 lot (= 1 stock share). However, there is an exception on some instruments where the mini lot size (0.1 CFD) is enabled. For a complete overview of the lot sizes, please refer to our contract specifications.
What is Daily Currency Adjustment that is applied to Physical Stocks trading?
The Daily Currency Adjustment is a debit or credit balance operation that reflects current market fluctuations between the base currency of the account and the base currency of the traded physical stock. The currency fluctuation may have a positive or sometimes negative effect, depending on the FX rate movement and the base currency of the client’s account and the traded symbol.
How is the Daily Currency Adjustment calculated?
For EUR or GBP account base currency to USD Traded Symbol Base Currency

The Currency conversion scenarios calculation formulas are:

  • First roll after the trade is opened:

    ((Position volume * Open price of the traded symbol / FX Rate ask price at the current end of day) - (Position volume * Open Price of the traded symbol / FX Rate bid price at the moment of position opening))

    Example: (52x48.6/1.07981) - (52x48.6/1.07934) = 2340.41-2341.43 = -1.02

  • Every other roll:

    ((Position volume * Open price of the traded symbol / FX Rate ask price at the current end of day) - (Position volume * Open price of the traded symbol / FX Rate bid price at the Previous day, end of day))

    Example: (52x48.6/1.08446) - (52x48.6/1.07977) = 2330.38 - 2340.50 = -10.12

  • Intraday trades:

    ((Position volume * Open price / FX Rate ask price at the moment of position closing) - (Position volume * Open price / FX Rate bid price at the moment of position opening))

    Example: (15x129.14/1.08415) - (15x129.14/1.08411) = 1786.74 - 1786.81 = -0.07

  • On Position Close:

    ((Position volume * Open price / FX Rate ask price at the moment of position closing) - (Position volume * Open price / FX Rate bid price at the Previous day, end of day))

    Example: (20x94.02/1.08361) - (20x94.02/1.07986) = 1735.31 - 1741.33 = -6.02

For EUR account base currency to USD Traded Symbol Base Currency, the FX Pair needed for the conversion is EURUSD.

For GBP account base currency to USD Traded Symbol Base Currency, the FX Pair needed for the conversion is GBPUSD.

For USD, GBP or CHF account base currency to EUR or USD Traded Symbol Base Currency

The Currency conversion scenarios calculation formulas are:

  • First roll after the trade is opened:

    ((Position volume * Open price of the traded symbol * FX Rate bid price at the current end of day) - (Position volume * Open price of the traded symbol * FX Rate ask price at the moment of position opening))

    Example: (100*48.14*1.07977) - (100*48.14*1.07608) = 17.76

  • Every other roll:

    ((Position volume * Open price of the traded symbol * FX Rate bid price at the current end of day) - (Position volume * Open price of the traded symbol * FX Rate ask price at the Previous day, end of day))

    Example: (100*48.14*1.08444) - (100*48.14*1.07981) = 22.29

  • Intraday trades:

    ((Position volume * Open price * FX Rate bid price at the moment of position closing) - (Position volume * Open price * FX Rate ask price at the moment of position opening))

    Example: (16x145.9x1.0837) - (16x145.9x1.08362) = 2529.79 - 2529.60 = 0.19

  • On Position Close:

    ((Position volume * Open price * FX Rate bid price at the moment of position closing) - (Position volume * Open price * FX Rate ask price at the Previous day, end of day))

    Example: (1x90.01x1.05459) - (1x90.01x1.05412) = 94.92 - 94.88 = 0.04

What is an Expert Advisor (EA)?
Expert Advisors are automated trading systems based on the MQL programming language. EAs are used to automate analytical and/or trading processes. For example, EAs are able to execute entire trading strategies completely independently. Most EAs require that they are placed on the chart that correlates with the currency pair/s being traded, however it is possible for some EAs to work on a chart that does not correlate with the currency pair/s being traded. It is very important to note that an EA will only operate when the platform is open. If the platform is closed this will turn off the EA. If you want to ensure that your EAs are continuously running, independent of your computer and internet connection, we offer a VPS solution.

Note: EAs are automated trading systems that were developed by third parties. JFD does not assume any liability whatsoever for losses caused by employing these EAs.

How can I program EAs?
To create your own EAs (automatic trading systems) and indicators, you need to use the programming software included in the platform called MetaEditor. This can be started from Tools/MetaQuotes Language Editor or by pressing the F4 key. This software provides an appropriate integrated programming environment, from which you can develop your own EAs.
How can I have an EA trading on my live account?
If, after careful consideration, you have decided to let an EA trade on your JFD live account, you have to proceed as follows:
The EA must be saved in the correct folder. This folder is located by going to the top Left of the platform and clicking on File, Open Data Folder, MQL4, Experts.
After any new EA or Indicator is added to the platform it will be required to close and restart the platform to make the new tool visible.
Open the Navigation window and pull (drag and drop) the EA onto the chart.
Should the EA contain DLLs, you need to activate (by ticking) the box Enable import of DLLs within the Options menu. Normally any included DLLs will need to be placed in the Libraries Folder that is also located in the MQL4 folder.
To turn on the EA please click the Expert Advisor button which appears in the upper section of the platform. You should now be able to see a 'smiley' face in the top right-hand part of the chart which means that the EA is now running.

Note: EAs are automated trading systems developed by third parties. JFD does not assume any liability whatsoever for losses caused by using these EAs.

Can I use Add-Ons, Indicators and EAs on the MT4+ WebTrader or MT4+ Mobile App?
Our exclusive MT4+ Add-Ons and Indicators package is currently only available in our MT4+ Desktop version, however you can use the built-in indicators that are already pre-installed. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use custom indicators or Expert Advisors on MT4+ WebTrader or Mobile Apps.
What is a custom indicator?
A custom indicator can be any indicator that was developed and programmed for use with the MT4 platform using MetaEditor, and the MQL programming language. Indicators are used as informational tools for trading, and each indicator can be used for a different purpose.
What order types does MT4+ offer?
In addition to the standard ‘Buy by market’ and ‘Sell by market’, MT4+ also offers a total of four pending orders:
