Trade smarter with these simple starting points
Here are a few things you should know, but please note that the following explanations should not be taken as investment advice.
1. Know your limits - and your leverage
Traders use leverage to gain better market exposure without committing the whole amount necessary to own the physical instrument. This means you can open a position at a fraction of the total value you are trading - but as profits and losses are based on the total size of the trade, the end result can be much larger than the initial outlay. Enhanced exposure allow for higher potential gains, but can also cause losses to exceed deposits.
Protect your trades with risk-management tools, such as stop-loss orders, and make sure you’re always trading within your means.

2. Start small
A common mistake is to go ‘all in’ on your first trade.
We offer micro lots from 0.01 and ranging up to 300 on selected products so that you can control the size of your trades. Always ensure your account is adequately funded for your risk appetite & trading goals.
If you’re just starting out, we recommend testing on a risk-free demo trading account with $10,000 simulated funds for practising on live markets.
Open demo account
3. Keep up with tools and trends
Every trader will have a different strategy, tools or trends that they prefer to trade - and it’s always your choice on how you’ll trade the breakouts. Some plan ahead by using stop-loss tools or setting monthly floats for their trading capital, but in general it helps to incorporate technical analysis, stay updated on market news and to be aware of support and resistance areas prior to entering a trade.
Always conduct your own research, ensure proper risk management or consult an independent professional for advice if you’re unsure about placing a trade.

4. Never stop learning
The best traders are perpetually researching. You can discover new opportunities by looking at past price action, our MENA newsroom, through online training resources, X (formally Twitter) or by checking global news daily.
5. It pays to keep a cool head
Markets might get your heart racing, but it pays to keep your nerve. Top traders keep a cool head and make unemotional, informed & shrewd choices.
6. Open accounts in advance
When you're trading online, every millisecond counts. Make sure your funds are ready to go when you need them. If you're already trading, setting risk targets can help you ensure you have available funds for new trades. If you're new to trading, prepare for new accounts to take a few days to be opened, verified & funded.

7. Never lose track of your trades
If you're trading manually or using automated tools like stop-loss orders, you should always keep a keen eye on your trades. If you don't close a position, you risk losing more than your initial deposit if the market continues to move against you. Be prepared for any holding fees that might occur from keeping positions open after trading hours close.

8. Update your calendar
We all know global events can impact markets, but public holidays can affect trading hours too. Plan ahead for economic events and upcoming breaks that may cause additional rollover fees.

What type of broker is Equiti?
We are a mark-to-market straight-through processing (or ‘STP’) execution-only broker, licensed and regulated by the United Arab Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). This means we do not take risk against our clients - all positions are sent directly to our liquidity providers.
Is trading only for professional traders?
Anyone from any background can trade online – all that’s required is a verified bank account and sufficient funds for starting to place trades. We support all levels of traders with tiered accounts, dedicated managers, multilingual customer support and competitive pricing.
We kindly request that before starting to trade nonprofessionally you note that trading CFDs carries a high level of risk to the money you have invested, as prices can move rapidly against you, particularly during volatile market conditions. When entering into CFD trades, you can lose more than your investment and you may be required to make further payments. The higher the leverage utilised in a CFD trade, the higher the level of risk involved. This notice does not explain all of the risks and other significant aspects of trading CFDs. If after having read this notice, you still wish to proceed with opening an account with us, we strongly recommend that you only do so after using our demo account, reading our Legal Documents, and seeking independent professional advice if necessary.
Is Equiti a regulated broker?
Equiti Securities Currencies Broker LLC (subsidiary of Equiti Group) is a multi-asset broker fully authorised and regulated by the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) of the United Arab Emirates.
SCA is a legal entity, which is financially and administratively independent, reporting directly to the Minister of Economy in the UAE. The main objective of SCA is to supervise and monitor financial markets.
How can I make the most profit?
Trading CFDs is based on the speculation that the value of one asset will increase relative to another. This creates the potential to maximise profit. However, there are no strategies or markets that are guaranteed to always deliver profits. If your current broker says otherwise, check if they’re regulated!
Trading in global markets by purchasing forex, commodities, ETFs or other CFD products will free up your capital and allow you the potential to capture to profit - but we always encourage our clients to risk only what they can afford to lose. Markets are known to be unpredictable which means both losses and profits can equally increase.
