Trading on the InterMagnum platform is subject to a variable profit clearance fee. It depends on the profit generated by each position, ranging between 1.50 and 5.00 per trade (EUR, USD, GBP).

It applies only to successful trades or those sold for a profit. The commissions on wire transfers are charged to the recipient.

The profit clearance fee is determined by the total profit on the successful position. The fees are as follows:
250 or less = 1.50
251 – 500 = 2.00
501 – 1,000 = 3.00
1,001 – 2,500 = 4.00
2,501 or more = 5.00
These fees are the same absolute value regardless of your account currency (EUR, USD, GBP).

Maintenance fees are monthly account charges covering all the services and features available to traders. Starting from the first trade executed by an investor, a monthly maintenance fee of 20.00 (USD, GBP, EUR) will be charged to the trading account on the last day of each calendar month. If you begin trading after the 1st day of the month, the first month’s fee will be prorated.

In general, taxation depends on the tax law governing your country of residence. InterMagnum accepts no responsibility for any potential tax liabilities. You are fully responsible for knowing your tax position, truthfully reporting any trades and profits, and settling any tax debts owed.

Trading basics

The amount you invest in trades is not fixed and can vary according to your trading preferences. They also determine the predetermined payout percentages and return on investment.

The position is derived from the value of the underlying financial assets, i.e. stock, commodity, currency pair or index. Because they are not actually owned, the cash value equals the actual market price of the underlying asset as of the date of purchase. The most common assets are derived from the following four major markets:
Stocks (AT&T, Chase, Facebook, BP, etc.)
Indices (DAX30, the Dow Jones, the NASDAQ, CAC40, etc.)
Currencies (USD/EUR, USD/GBP, EUR/CHF, etc.)
Commodities (corn, coffee, oil, gold, silver, etc.)

The default assets displayed on the trading platform are those that are in the highest demand. Visit our Asset Index for a full list of assets available through InterMagnum.

The value of the underlying assets changes constantly, reflecting the asset’s quoted price – the bid/ask rate. These rates express the average prices for the assets seen on the world’s financial exchanges as indicated by data from various providers.

The colors reflect the relative position of the current price against the previous one. In other words, the price for the underlying asset can be either higher (green) or lower (red.

If you don’t have enough funds for a trade, you won’t be able to complete a position. Check your trading account wallet for the available margin.

The amount that you can spend on a single position varies due to asset class, available margin, account type etc.

The Asset Index shows the precise trading hours for the available assets as well as expiration times and descriptions.

Order execution happens when your trade is submitted. Because market prices are in constant flux, not every trade request submitted can be approved. To ensure your trade request is handled as you’d like, the order execution tool links your trade to the markets and sets the price at which it will be executed.

InterMagnum offers 2 order execution types with which you can enter the market: 1. At requested price – This allows you to determine one particular price at which your orders can be executed. With this execution type, your order will either be rejected or accepted (depending on the asset’s market price). If the asset’s price changes beyond the parameters you’ve set, the system won’t be able to execute the trade. However, if the market price doesn’t change, your order will be approved and executed according to your request. 2. At market – This allows you to execute an order even when the asset price doesn’t match your parameters. This option prevents you from having trades rejected; instead, your trade will be executed at the best available current market price.

Any questions about previous trades? Just email Customer Support at [email protected]. The email should include a screenshot of the trade in question.

FX trading

FX, a.k.a. Forex or foreign exchange, is the market with the most trades. More than $5 trillion of global currencies are bought and sold per day. The markets run 24 hours a day, 5 days a week and, unlike other financial markets, there is no centralized marketplace, thus attracting beginners and experienced traders alike. Learn more here.

FX trading on the InterMagnum platform is quite easy: buy one currency pair while simultaneously selling another. After logging in, navigate to the trading platform and select from the wide variety of currency pairs, such as majors, minors or exotics. Then just enter the amount you wish to BUY or SELL, set the optional stop loss and take profit parameters), and click Invest. CFDs operate on the same principle.

The base currency or transaction currency is the one against which the exchange rate is quoted. As a rule, it will always be the first currency listed in the pair. For example, in USD/EUR, the base currency is USD.

The quote currency (also called the secondary currency) is the second one quoted in a currency pair. With USD/EUR, the quote currency is EUR.

Absolutely not! There is absolutely no previous experience required in order to start trading currencies with InterMagnum. Take advantage of our educational guides and customer service for assistance when first starting out.

We currently offer a maximum leverage of X200.

A strike price is the market price for an underlying asset when a position is executed.

The return on investment at InterMagnum will vary and depend on market movements. You can use this formula to get an idea as to how returns on successful investments are calculated: (Closing Rate-Opening Rate) x (Closing {quote}/{home currency}) x Units.

The difference between traditional trading and Forex is the former is about acquisition, while nothing is acquired in the latter. Traditional trading such as in stocks is done on exchanges, while Forex trading is pure trading.

Trade points are trading volume indicators. These are calculated per traded position amount and accumulated each time you close CFD positions.
CFDs calculation method:
Say you bought 10,000 EUR/USD, so the value of the position is converted to the currency denominated in your account. If your account currency is USD, the value of the position will be converted to USD using the real time EUR/USD exchange rate. Let’s assume that’s 1.07; this would mean €10,000 * 1.0700 = $10,700. The USD ($) value of the position is now multiplied by 0.001%. This gives entitles you to .107 trader points ($10,700 * 0.001% = .107 trader points).
Please note, that in the case above your account currency is USD.

Trade points are trading volume indicators. These are calculated per traded position amount and accumulated each time you close CFD positions.
CFDs calculation method:
Say you bought 10,000 EUR/USD, so the value of the position is converted to the currency denominated in your account. If your account currency is USD, the value of the position will be converted to USD using the real time EUR/USD exchange rate. Let’s assume that’s 1.07; this would mean €10,000 * 1.0700 = $10,700. The USD ($) value of the position is now multiplied by 0.001%. This gives entitles you to .107 trader points ($10,700 * 0.001% = .107 trader points).
Please note, that in the case above your account currency is USD.

You can check your pending bonus status on the trading platform with the following steps:

1. Click the Trading Room button (located on the upper right-hand side).
2. Click the Reports link (located under the Deposit button).
3. Select the Bonus Report tab.
4. Monitor the Points Achieved column to track the volume accumulated daily, and subtract it from the Points Requirement column to understand how many traders points are needed.
Don’t forget the expiration date for each pending bonus. To find out the bonus expiration date, contact your account manager.

You can’t use it until the trading volume is met.
