    Frequently Asked Questions

    CFI operates through licensed entities in different regions. You open an account with the entity that serves your country. Your money is usually kept in segregated client accounts, separate from firm funds. Depending on where you register, protections like negative balance protection or local safeguards may apply. You can review the client agreement, risk disclosures, and the specific entity's license details before you start. That helps you understand how your account is governed and what protections apply to you.

    With CFI you can trade forex and contracts for difference on indices, commodities, and shares. Some entities may also offer other products. What you see in the platform depends on your country, your account type, and your profile. Margin requirements, trading hours, and instrument specifications can differ by symbol. You can check the product list and contract details inside your account. Make sure you understand how each product works and the risks that come with leveraged derivatives.

    Your total cost at CFI can include spreads, commissions, and overnight financing on leveraged positions. You may also see currency conversion charges when your account and trade currency differ. Some account types can have an inactivity fee. Funding and withdrawal methods can involve third‐party processing charges. Costs change with market conditions and the entity you use. You can view the fee schedule and contract specifications in the client portal before you trade, so you know what you pay for each instrument.

    You can fund your CFI account by bank transfer, cards, or selected online payment options, depending on your region. Processing times and available currencies vary by method. Withdrawals usually return to the original funding source, and the account name must match yours. Third‐party payments are not accepted. You need to complete identity checks before funds are released. Your bank or payment provider can charge separate fees. You can track the status of deposits and withdrawals in your client portal.

    CFI executes orders at the available market price when your order reaches the venue. In fast or illiquid markets, the fill can differ from the requested price. You can receive price improvement or worse fills, known as slippage. Stop and limit orders trigger when the platform sees the price; fills are not assured at an exact level during gaps. Different order types have different behaviors. You can review the execution policy and test fills on a demo to learn how your orders may behave.
