Forex Brokers news
Due to our efforts to continuously improve our product offering, we will be making modifications
to the terms of trading in Forex instruments. Minimum spread sizes will now be available for
trades of any size!
You can open positions from 0.1 of a lot in the Standard group of the MRC-MetaTrader 4 terminal
starting from 15th February 2010. Transactions in the Standard group will be carried out with the
minimum spread sizes which were previously only available for professional trading of 0.5 of a lot
or greater.
In addition, spread sizes will decrease for the currency pairs EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPUSD,
USDCHF and will be as follows:
EURUSD – 0.00005
USDJPY – 0.005
GBPUSD – 0.00010
USDCHF – 0.00010
Due to the nature of the change, an additional symbol will be introduced after the dot in the price of
a financial instrument in the Forex quote.
From 15th February 2010, trading in the Professional and Minimal groups will be available only for the
closing of orders. We request that clients with open positions in the groups above move to close the
positions in the period leading up to 22:00 GMT on the 19th February 2010. Any positions
remaining open at the end of this period will be closed automatically.
The Professional and Minimal groups will not be available for trading on the 22nd February 2010.
Recognising and meeting your customer needs, MRC Markets will be introducing changes to the GOLD contracts making them more accessible.
From the 1st of January 2010, the size of a standard contract (1.0 lot) for GOLD will change from 1000 troy ounces to 100 troy ounces thus the collateral margin will decrease 10 times!
The current conditions will be in effect till the end of the trading session on 31st December, 2009 (till 19:00 GMT). We request that clients with open positions in GOLD, close the positions before 19:00 GMT on 31st January, 2009. Any positions remaining open at the end of this period will be closed automatically.
All changes can be tracked in the MRC-MetаTrader 4 terminal: right-click in the Market Watch window, choose Symbols in the context menu and check the properties of the instrument.
Thank you for staying with us through 2009! We are happy to announce the payment of annual interest on funds not used in trades. This is available to all of our clients who met the qualifying requirement of not having withdrawn funds from their trading account for 6 months. For accounts opened less than six months ago, the annual interest will be calculated based on the period for which the account has been open.
Changes in the conditions governing the payment of interest will come into force from 1st January, 2010.
From 1st January 2010, the interest payment will not be dependent on funds not being withdrawn during the period! You will now be able to withdraw your funds any time without losing out on interest!
The following rates will be applied monthly on funds unused in trading:
- 2,00% per annum for deposits in USD
- 1,50% per annum for deposits in EUR
- 2,00% per annum for deposits in GBP
- 1,00% per annum for deposits in CHF
- 0,50% per annum for deposits in JPY
- 5,00% per annum for deposits in INR
- 6,00% per annum for deposits in CNY
- 12,50% per annum for deposits in RUB
The accrual of interest is calculated on condition that a certain monthly volume of trading has been obtained on a group of Forex instruments depending on the size of your trading account deposit:
- For deposits above 1,000,000 USD (or equivalent in other currency), your total monthly volume of trading should not be less than 1,000 lots.
- For deposits above 100,000 USD (or equivalent in other currency) your total monthly volume of trading should be not less than 100 lots.
- For deposits above 10,000 USD (or equivalent in other currency) your total monthly volume of trading should be not less than 10 lots.
- For deposits above 1,000 USD (or equivalent in other currency) your total monthly volume of trading should be not less than 1 lot.
- For deposits below 1,000 USD (or equivalent in other currency) your total monthly volume of trading should be not less than 0.5 lots.
The interest paid can be used in trading and/or withdrawn from the account in the usual manner at the end of each month. The amount can be seen in the Account History section of the MRC- MetaTrader 4 terminal on the last day of each month.
You can trade actively, with a fraction of your deposit and the unused finds will give you an additional profit similar to a bank deposit as well!

will be restricted during the period of the 10th to the 11th December 2009. We request that
clients with open positions in the instruments above move to close the positions. Any positions
remaining open at the end of this period will be closed automatically.
