Forex & prop trading terminology
Spread
The difference between the bid and ask prices. A quoted minimum is not an observed average.
Trading commission
A trading charge, separate from any referral commission paid to an IB.
Per side / round turn
Per side applies to an opening or closing transaction; round turn covers opening and closing. Always check the volume and currency basis.
Swap / overnight financing
A debit or credit for holding a position overnight, depending on the instrument and direction.
Balance / equity
Balance reflects booked transactions. Equity also reflects floating profit or loss; use the provider’s exact risk formula.
Drawdown
Static, trailing and end-of-day rules use different reference points. Maximum daily loss and maximum overall loss are distinct limits.
Prop firm / funded account
Here, prop firm refers to a trading evaluation or capital-allocation provider. A funded stage may be simulated or live; the profile states the program’s published setup.
Withdrawal / reward payout
A broker withdrawal returns money from a client account. A prop reward payout is paid under the program contract and profit-split conditions.
The official onboarding guide excludes residents of Iran, Vietnam and the UAE. The site also applies sanctions and partner restrictions. Payment methods and final KYC vary by location.
