    Frequently Asked Questions

    You can access currency pairs through POEMS platforms. Depending on your profile and location, you may trade spot forex and derivative contracts. Available pairs often cover major and minor currencies, with some additional crosses. Product access, contract specs, and market hours vary by account and region. Review product disclosures, margin requirements, and platform terms before you place orders. Not all instruments are available to every client, and eligibility depends on your onboarding and local rules. This is general information only and not advice.

    Your total cost usually includes the spread and, for some products, a separate commission. If you hold leveraged positions overnight, financing charges may apply. Currency conversion fees can apply when your account base currency differs from the trade currency. There may also be platform or account service fees as listed in the fee schedule. Costs change with market conditions, product type, and your account setup. Check the current pricing on the broker site and read all disclosures so you understand how charges apply.

Protections differ by entity and your location, and leveraged trading carries a high level of risk.
