flexiTrading
flexiTrading (fractional unit size trading) is an unique feature on MG’s DealStation™. It allows traders flexibility in adjusting trading units to suit different strategies. In one account the trader can trade both standard and fractional units ranging between 0.1 (10,000 contract size) and 50 (5,000,000 contract size) per trade.
Each time when a new fractional unit is chosen the related values of used margin, pip and rollover will be automatically adjusted in the account.
