What is a margin?

Margin is a guarantee of a position. With a margin, traders can borrow or leverage on a small amount of net worth to finance a trade. Investors should note that the higher the margin usage, the greater the risk.

What does it mean to be bullish or short?

The bulls are buying currencies at a certain price and hope to sell them at a higher price later. Traders who adopt this strategy will profit when the price rises. A bearish position means that the trader expects the price to fall and sell the currency. This strategy allows traders to profit when the price of the currency pair falls.

What do trading terms such as bid/ask, spread, and rollover mean?

All foreign exchange quotes contain two prices, the selling price and the buying price, and the selling price is always lower than the buying price.
Ask
Refers to the price at which the market is willing to buy a currency, that is, the price at which the trader may sell the base currency.

Bid
Refers to the price at which the market sells a certain currency. That is, the trader can buy the base currency at that price.

Spread
Refers to the difference between the purchase price and the sale price. At AUGS, the only cost of executing a trade is the bid-ask spread, the spread. AUGS provides fixed and floating multiple spread mechanisms under normal market conditions.

Rollover
The extension period extends the expiration date of the position that is about to expire to the next settlement date. The positions of the extension are no longer valued at the same price. If the trader has a higher interest rate currency, the sell position is more profitable than the buy position; vice versa, if the trader has a higher short rate, the buy position is more profitable than the sell position. . Such differences vary depending on the currency pair, the spread between the currency pairs, and the daily volatility. For more information on the renewal policy, please click on the Terms and Conditions section.

Go long/short

What is the difference between an intraday position and an overnight position?

The intraday position refers to a position that was opened at any time during the 24-hour period and closed before 17:00 pm on the Eastern Time trading day. Overnight positions are positions that have not been closed after the close of trading at 17:00 pm ET on normal business hours.

What happens to my open positions at the end of the trading day?

Holding positions till the end of the afternoon trading day in the US Eastern Time remain open, but the position costs need to be adjusted in accordance with standard interbank market agreements. The adjustment is based on the spread of the two currencies in the currency pair being traded and the change in the current delivery date. For more information on overnight interest charges, please click on the Terms and Conditions section.

How is the currency price determined?

Currency prices are affected by many factors, such as volatility caused by economic, social, and political events, interest rates, inflation, and political stability. AUGS' trading platform uses proprietary interbank market quotation systems to obtain price and risk data. The algorithm of our quotation system can react to market changes within milliseconds.

How do I manage risk?

To manage risk, traders must set a position limit. This limit is based on the funds in the trader's account. If your net worth is lower than the margin required to maintain your current position, AUGS' trading platform will automatically issue a margin call to minimize risk. Regardless of the size and nature of the positions in the account, all open positions will be closed immediately.

Can I trade on a fixed spread?

No.

What is the difference between a demo account and a real trading account?

AUGS's demo account platform is fully functional, providing real-time bid/ask quotation systems, messaging systems and charting tools. The software used in the simulation platform is identical to the software in the real account. But there is one important difference: there is no capital risk in trading within the demo account.

How much does it cost to open an account?

In principle, we do not set a deposit limit for opening an account, but for the products you want to trade, you need to consider the minimum margin requirement for the relevant contract.

How can I withdraw funds from my account?

To withdraw funds from your account, please log in to the customer background to fill out the withdrawal form. 

If you have questions about the procedure, please contact our customer service department. 

In order to comply with the anti-money laundering policy, customers can only withdraw funds through the original deposit channel.

What is the net deposit?

Net deposit measures are developed by us to comply with a range of financial restrictions or regulations imposed by regulatory agencies. We also use this mechanism as an internal security measure to combat security issues such as money laundering, bank card theft, and fraud. 

In short, what kind of payment is deposited in the funds can only be taken out in the same way. 

Suppose you use two bank cards in the process of depositing your account, deposit $500 through the A card, and deposit $550 through the B card. This gives you a net deposit of $1050. Then you use these funds to open some transactions and then close the position. The account balance has been changed to $3050, which means that you will need to withdraw $500 to A card and withdraw $550 to B card before taking out the remaining $2000. When the two amounts are taken out, the remaining amount can be taken to any of your bank accounts.

What if I don't have a bank card with a net deposit? For example, the original card has been lost.

If you have already received a replacement bank card, please contact us. If you do not have a relevant bank card, depending on the security check, we may be able to choose other relevant payment methods for your account. However, please note that in some cases we may need additional documentation to confirm that this card is no longer active.

Why can't I choose how to withdraw money?

We implement a closed loop compliance policy that forces funds to be retrieved from their source. Before you withdraw additional funds by any other payment method, you must withdraw the same amount of deposit in the original way. This policy also protects us and our customers against fraud and money laundering.

When can I receive the money I have withdrawn?

If a remittance is required, we will send the funds through the bank on the day AUGS accepts the withdrawal request. The payee may take 24-48 hours to receive the remittance.

What is the cost of withdrawal?

If you choose bank wire withdrawal, the bank will charge a fee ranging from $15 to $50, and the bank will deduct the withdrawal amount. If you choose RMB withdrawal, the exchange rate of RMB will be calculated according to the exchange rate of the payment gateway company.
