FXOpen Adds New Pairs to Crypto Accounts

FXOpen enhances the range of financial instruments by adding pairs with Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, Ethereum Classic, Monero, NEO, IOTA, EOS, and OMNI to Crypto accounts.



FXOpen closely monitors the trends in the cryptocurrency world and makes the most promising currencies available to traders on our Crypto accounts. All the newest additions are picked from the Top ‑20 Coinmarketcap list and have been lately the focus of investors’ attention.

OPEN A CRYPTO ACCOUNT AND INVEST INTO THE NEW COINS

Ripple (XRP) is currently the 3rd crypto-currency in terms of market capitalization after Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Ethereum Classic (ETC) both originated via hard forks of the leading cryptocurrencies – Bitcoin and Ethereum. BCH and ETC inherited functionality and strong community support from their predecessors, which helped them remain viable and retain their value for investors.
Monero (XMR) is a cryptocurrency with a special focus on privacy protection. Like most coins, it has seen an explosion of growth - over 3,000% in 2017. Monero is currently worth around 300 USD per coin and occupies #13 in the Coinmarketcap list.
NEO, EOS, IOTA, OMNI - a group of lesser-known emerging altcoins that already rank high and have the chances to become the next big thing in the crypto-currency world.

With the latest additions, FXOpen now offers the total of 39 currency pairs on Crypto accounts. Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum Classic, Monero, NEO, EOS, IOTA and OMNI can be traded against USD Dollar, EURO and Bitcoin. 1 lot typically equals 1 unit of XRP, BCH, EMR or other respective base currency. Margin call is 30% and Stop Out – 15%.

We have made some other minor improvements to Crypto accounts:

1. Decreased the Min Lot for symbols with LTC DSH ETH from 1 down to 0.1 units of the base currency.
2. Decreased the Min Lot for EMC pairs from 10 down to 1 unit of the base currency.
3. The maximum slippage for EMC/BTC has been changed from 3 to 10 points.

For more information, please, see symbol properties for Crypto accounts.

On March 11th FXOpen MetaTrader Switches to Summer Time (GMT+3)

The change will affect all types of FXOpen trading accounts. In ECN, STP and Micro accounts summer time will take effect starting with the market opening on Monday, March 12th, 2018.
In Crypto accounts, where trading is available during the weekend, traders will experience the change immediately after it occurs, on Sunday, March 11th, 2018.

FXOpen will raise margin for GBP pairs on December 10th

Dear Traders,

We would like to remind you that the UK parliament will vote on the EU Withdrawal Bill on 11th December 2018. There is a high degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of the vote and all GBP currency crosses are likely to experience significant volatility with increased risk of market gaps.

Due to this FXOpen is going to increase margin requirements up to 5 times their normal values for all GBP pairs. Changes will take effect starting with the market opening on December 10th, 2018 without further notice.

We are taking this measure to reduce your risk due to the potential high volatility, rapid price movements or market gaps that may occur in case of further political escalation. Please consider this information in your trading and ensure you have sufficient funds on your account to maintain your positions.
