Trading tools

Fortrade has partnered with Trading Central, a leading provider of technical analysis, to integrate trade ideas inside its trading platforms. Every day, Trading Central suggest trade setups across a range markets, with long and short target levels based on scenario analysis. To open a position, trade directly from the charts.

You can choose to open your Fortrade account in USD, EUR, or GBP, to avoid or minimise currency conversion fees when depositing or withdrawing funds. While Fortrade recommends an initial deposit of at least USD/EUR/GBP 500 (depending on your account currency), you can begin trading with as little as USD/EUR/GBP 100.

If you're eager to start trading right away, it's best to fund your account using a card or e-wallet. Bank transfers can take up to 7 business days to process. However, withdrawals can be slow regardless of the method used. Bank transfers may take up to 5 business days, while card withdrawals can take as long as 15 business days.

Fortrade does not charge fees on deposits or withdrawals, but third-party processing fees may apply. Notably, a flat $40 fee applies to all bank withdrawal requests.

The choice of payment methods depends on the company that you open an account with, and your country of residence. Please visit the company's website for a list of all payment methods.

Your funds will be placed in one or more segregated accounts held with reliable financial institutions, possibly outside of Mauritius. These accounts may pool your funds with that of other clients, which is standard practice.

Importantly, Fortrade offers negative balance protection. This means that you cannot lose more than the amount invested in each trading account, even if you use leverage and the market were to move against you.

Your access to a compensation scheme in the event insolvency will depend on the rules applicable in your home country. If in doubt, contact Fortrade customer support.
