CWG Markets collate the best offers of financial products from a number of top banks for investors to use when trading. The CWG hierarchical quotation system allows customers' high-value transactions to be quickly traded through the quotation levels provided by a variety of liquidity providers, so that no matter how large the transaction volume is, the best transaction price can be obtained.

We practice treating every client fairly and openly, and we adopt the common practice of dealing with slippage in the industry. CWG will not interfere with the client’s transaction and the price at which the order is actually executed, so as to ensure that the customer receives the real-time and accurate quotation. Price improvement, also known as ‘positive slippage’, occurs in fast-moving markets when the price changes between the time you place your trade, or when your order is triggered, and the time your order is executed. In this case we won’t reject your trade or order, we will simply execute it at the better price. Under each circumstance, CWG will bring about more rational price to the clients under the market trend. However, under equal condition, the price will also be low under declining market trend. All quotations of clients come from CWG partners and in order to ensure that our customers can get the most advantageous price under the favorable market trend, we have invested heavily to choose the most reputable and powerful liquidity providers.

A standard point refers to the change of the fifth digit price after the decimal point, while the base point refers to the change of the fourth digit price after the decimal point.

In other word, 1 base point = 10 standard point.

For example, if the price is assumed to change from 1.11115 to 1.11135, the price will change to 2 basis points or 20 standard points.

The point unit is a fixed number indicating the position of the base point in the price of the trade variety.

For example, for most currency pair like EURUSD, the price is mostly in the form of 1.11115, with the base point at the fourth place after the decimal point, so the point unit is 0.0001.

Point value is the amount of money someone will earn or lose when the price changes by a base point. The calculation formula is as follows:

Point value = number of lots x contract unit X point unit.

Leverage is the ratio of net worth to borrowing capital. It has a direct impact on the margin required for trading varieties. Margin refers to the funds in account currency held by the broker to maintain the order position.

The higher the leverage, the lower the margin.

The balance represents the total financial result of the closing trading and the deposit and withdrawal operations on all accounts.

The net value is either the amount before you open any order or the amount after you close all orders.

In the case of open orders, the account balance will not change.

After placing an order, the net value can be obtained by combining the balance with the loss / profit of the order.

Net value = balance + / - profit / loss

I believe you also know that after placing an order, part of the fund needs to be used as a deposit. The remaining funds are called available margin.

Net value = margin + available margin

Profit and loss can be obtained by calculating the difference between the opening and closing prices of the order. Profit / loss = difference between opening and closing prices (based on base point) x point value Buying orders to get profit when price rises; When prices fall, the sales order will make profits. Loss on buying order when price falls; When the price rises, the sales order loses.
