EXECUTION QUALITY QUESTIONS:
A: Very rarely.
A: Never.
A: Never.
A: Has never happened yet, and we make sure our platform is stable and reliable throughout the market hours.
A: Re-quotes occur when the market price has changed before our servers received an order. You cannot receive a fill for a price which does not exist on the market. Prices move simultaneously for all traders, so each trader is trading on the same prices. In any case, most accounts use automatic execution, and re-quoting happens very rarely.
A: Orders are executed automatically, within 2-5 seconds. One possible factor is the latency of getting your order through to our servers, and getting a response back, confirming that your order has been executed or that the price has changed. This depends on internet traffic, your own connection speed, and your Internet provider's latency in connecting to our servers, and so on.
A: Never.
A: In this case you don't have to deposit funds to recover the balance of your account. Just contact us via e-mail or live chat requesting to reset the balance of your trading account to "zero".

• * All charts on the MT4 platform are ALWAYS built using the BID price only!
• * All BUY orders are executed at the ASK price and closed by the BID price;
• * All SELL orders are executed at the BID price and closed by the ASK price.
If you want to also see the ASK price: right click on the chart -> Properties -> Common -> Show Ask Line.

Please note that historical data, including bar data (high/low/open/close) will still use BID prices.
