If you have already signed up with BR Stone, you should have received an automated email with your trading account details including login and password. There’s a ‘LOGIN’ button on our homepage at the right top corner. Once you click it, you will see a pop-up window – a login form. Enter your email and password, and click the ‘LOGIN’ button.
Most of you already know that trading Forex involves risks of losing your funds. But how can a beginner trader get familiar with the FX market if he/she is not ready to invest yet? How can one check out his/her trading approach? What if you want to see how the brokerage company operates in terms of commissions, spreads, real-time quotes, order execution speed?
Especially for such cases, BR Stone has designed a special type of trading accounts – Demo or Virtual accounts.
The basic idea here is to give a chance for newbies to understand how the Forex market operates, what are BR Stone’s advantages (i.e. low spreads and commissions, rapid orders execution). Beginner traders can also test their skills before starting the fascinating journey of investing in the financial markets. Virtual accounts are also suitable for those traders who are willing to check out new trading strategies’ performance.
It’s worth noticing that the trading conditions of a demo account are exactly the same as per a real account. The key difference is that you invest nothing. So you get virtual funds to operate with, you trade and you may see the result. The only concern for newbies is that virtual trading produces virtual profits that can’t be withdrawn.
However, it’s useful to know how market mechanisms operate. For instance, traders should understand how to open and close a deal (order), what’s the sequence of getting quotes, and what happens if they hold positions for a while.’
Below are the main reasons why traders open demo accounts:
Our experience tells us that an account balance of 100 000 is more than enough to reach all of the goals of the virtual account. However, you may request another amount to start with, if you want to get the conditions as close to your budget as possible. Remember that you can choose any currency of the account as basic. As a result, you will be able to forecast your potential profits and adjust the amount of your initial investment.

The spread is a type of broker’s commission related to the difference between requests to sell (bid) and buy (ask). Typically, all of the market quotes are represented with two rates, while the difference between them is called a spread.
Let’s try to figure out the details. The best example of how the spread works is a currency exchange. You can always see a difference in currency rates depending on whether you want to buy or sell a currency. This difference is exactly what your bank earns in terms of profit for the service of exchanging currencies. When trading in the Forex market, a brokerage company acts as a bank in the previous example. The broker gives you access to the currency exchange market, and the spread is the main commission for the company to be profitable.
It’s worth noticing that the spread of a brokerage company is usually much lower compared to the currency exchange in your bank. For instance, when you look at quotes of the EUR/USD currency pair, you will see such rates as 1.1800/1.1802. That means that the broker is ready to buy 1 Euro for 1.1800 US dollars and to sell 1 Euro for 1.1802 US dollars. As a result, the difference between the buy and the selling price will be 0.0002 or 2 points. That’s what is called the spread.
A pip means one percentage point of the currency exchange quote. In other words, it is a Price Interest Point or Percentage in Point. Since assets in the FX market are nothing but currency pairs, the cost of one currency is calculated in points compared to another currency. So the pip is used as a measurement to evaluate a currency pair. Besides, the pip is also a minimum value of the change of the currency pair value. In most cases, the pip is the fourth digit after the decimal point in currency pairs quotes. Recently, currency quotes appear to have five digits after the decimal point. That update has been made to meet the needs of retails traders with comparatively small account balances.
The only exception is the Japanese yen and its cross rates. One pip for currency pairs with the Japanese yen is usually considered as the second digit after the decimal point. For instance, the USD/JPY quote is 104.51.
The Leverage gives a trader an opportunity to increase the volume of funds he/she operates in the financial market. The basic idea is that using a small portion of your account balance, you can take advantage of profiting from the smallest change of the currency exchange rate. Contracts for Difference are leveraged products, financial derivatives, meaning that you need a small deposit compared to the overall size of the trading position. As a result, the leverage can increase a potential profit, although it also can enlarge the possible risks involved.
CFD (Contract For Difference) is a financial instrument allowing traders to benefit from price fluctuations of an asset without the physical supply of it. The contract is an agreement between the buyer and the seller of the underlying asset, which settles a certain purchase price. The agreement suggests potential profits or losses depending on the direction of the price change. At the same time, the buyer of the CFD contract is not obligated to get the physical supply of the underlying asset. CFDs are usually used to trade commodities, but there are also other types of assets to trade on CFD contracts. In simple words, imagine that you wanted to profit from the rising price of gold, and you decided to invest in several tons of gold with the purpose of reselling them after the price became more expensive. But you do not need that gold as you don’t even have a place to store it. This is exactly the case when the CFD contract is the best solution for speculators. You buy a contract, wait when the price goes up and sell it with a bargain. Among underlying assets for CFDs, there are currencies, stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.
The Stop-loss Order is a preliminary order to close a CFD trading position at a preset price, which is lower than the current price in the case if you buy an asset and higher if you sell it. The stop-loss order is part of the strategy to minimize possible risks involved with trading in the financial market. Limiting possible losses is essential in risk management rules.
In simple words, if you bought gold at a price of 1810.00 per ounce, counting on its growth, but the market goes in the wrong direction, then you would like to limit your potential losses at a price of 1800.00 per ounce. After that level is reached, the trading platform will close the deal automatically. However, in volatile market conditions, the trading platform might execute the stop-loss order at a different price. That happens when asset quotes change rapidly and the software might not be able to find the exact quote to execute the order. Please note that stop-loss orders, as well as limit orders, have to be set a certain distance from the current market price.
The Take Profit order is a preliminary order to close a CFD trading position at a preset price, which is higher than the current price in the case if you buy an asset and lower if you sell it. The basic idea here is that a trader wants to exit the market with a profit once the asset price reaches a certain level. Since the financial markets are volatile and asset quotes can change the trend direction several times per day, traders prefer to close profitable positions instead of getting out of the market with nothing in the case of unpredicted turnovers. The mechanism of the take profit-order is the same as per the stop-loss order, and the target price must be set a certain distance from the current market quotation.
Not all of the orders are executed by the market price when trading in the financial markets. Postponed orders were designed to open a trading position when the underlying asset reaches a certain price level. For example, you want to buy oil, predicting a strong uptrend in the long-term perspective. However, you consider the current market price as overbought and you expect a retracement. So placing a buy-limit order for $5 per barrel lower than the current market quote will give you a chance to buy oil at a more reasonable and attractive price.
Cryptocurrencies trading or crypto trading is a simple exchange of cryptocurrencies. With the same conditions as in the Foreign Exchange market, traders and investors can buy or sell one cryptocurrency versus another. THat’s one of the ways to get into the world of crypto without owning or mining cryptocurrencies.
Trading physical shares is a process of trading stocks that you actually own. Please note that CFD trading offers a much wider range of options to profit from the stock market trading compared to physical trading. The key advantage is that you get access to trade a wide range of underlying assets without owning them. Thus, you have a better choice and profit opportunities with a comparatively small investment.

The swap is a type of commission that a brokerage company gets for rolling the trading position from one trading day to another. Sometimes it happens that the daily (or weekly) close price of an asset can differ from the open price for the next day. So the broker has to compensate for its possible losses. However, the swap commission can be even positive for traders if the price of the underlying asset jumps in the right direction.
Swaps might differ from one asset to another, so you can check out the ‘Info’ tab to know more about swaps for particular assets.
