Please note that at certain banks, they may use what is called an “intermediary bank” (which Fusion has no control over) which charge their own fees for forwarding the funds to us. We apologise, but Fusion is not responsible for these fees should they be charged.

If you fund using Visa or Mastercard, your deposit should be credited to your account instantly if the deposit made within but If using a bank wire internationally to Australia, the average is 2-3 business days. However, depending on which country you’re depositing from, the process can typically take up to 5 business days.

To transfer between trading accounts, simply login to your Fusion Hub and on the left-hand side menu, select ‘payments’ then ‘transfers’ and follow the prompts. Please see this short video on how to do so.

There are no restrictions on withdrawals. You can withdraw anytime you wish. Depending on the method that you used to fund your account, funds will be returned or ‘matched’ to this method first.

For example, if you funded $1000 via Visa, just like any purchase, we will need to refund the $1000 back to your card. If you funded with bank wire, we would need to send funds back to your bank account. Or if ever you funded via card and wants to withdraw to your bank, we will return the deposited amount first to your card and whatever excess will be transferred to your bank.

Withdrawal is available via Bank Wire, Credit or Debit Card, Skrill and Neteller. Keep in mind that if you use a Debit or Credit Card, the original deposit you made upon withdrawing must be "refunded" back to the card. Please contact us for more information.

All withdrawals received by 11 am AEDT are processed on the same day. If we receive your request after 11 am AEDT, we will process it the next business day. You should receive your funds within 1-5 business days for credit and debit cards depending on the card provider and 2-5 business days for bank wires.

We will also need a bank statement dated within the last three months displaying your name, address and account number for the account that you wish to nominate for your withdrawal. Once you have all the document, please send it to us at [email protected]

We have Australia’s lowest advertised forex commissions, starting with USD 2.25 per 1 standard lot or equivalent ($4.50 per round turn). For a mini-lot, the commission will be 0.45c and so on. 

Our commission rate is based on $4.50 USD equivalent per 1 standard lot (round turn). This is with the exception of AUD commissions which are also $4.50. Our headquarters are in Melbourne, Australia. When we launched in June 2019, we wanted to offer Australia's lowest commission rate at the time and have stuck with it ever since despite the exchange rate being very different. 

The maximum leverage available to you as a client depends on various factors, including where you live, which entity you are trading with and in the case of Australia, whether you are classified as a "Retail" or "Professional" client.

For Fusion Pro Accounts, SEY, and Fusion VFSC clients, the maximum leverage available are as follows: Forex & Metals: 500:1, Index CFDs: 100:1 and Cryptocurrencies: 10:1.

For 'Retail' ASIC clients, please visit the FAQ "I am a "Retail" client under ASIC, what is the maximum leverage I can have?"

The minimum trade size will depend on the product that you’re trying to trade. For currency pairs, metals and other commodities, the minimum is 0.01 (often 10c per pip). For indices and everything else, the minimum trade size is 0.1 (often $0.10 per big point).

Please be aware that different products have different notional values. We advise you to place trades on a demo account to familiarise yourself with these different trade sizes.

The maximum lot size that you can trade is 100 lots. However, we recommend you get the best execution on up to 50 lots because exceeding that can result in unnecessary slippage. If you are a high-volume trader, we can set up customised liquidity feeds so that you can trade bigger volumes. Please contact us for more information.

The below is a general guide we follow on the maximum leverage available based on account equity. All figures are USD or Equivalent and are only applicable for Fusion Markets VFSC, SEY, or Fusion Markets Pro accounts only.

(For "Retail" ASIC clients please visit the FAQ "I am a 'Retail' client under ASIC, what is the maximum leverage I can have?')

$0-$50,000 = Up to a Maximum 500:1 leverage

$50,001-$100,000  = Up to a Maximum 200:1 leverage 

$100,001-$250,000 = Up to a Maximum 100:1

$250,001-$500,000 = Up to a Maximum 50:1

Note these figures are indicative only. Special exceptions can be made depending on your trading style. For example, if you took large positions (Aggregate holding of NOP $50m+) on non-major pairs or have historically held trades over weekends or traded products with risk of gapping e.g. Gold, WTI etc then the above would need to be changed. 

If you are a Fusion "Retail" client with ASIC, the maximum leverage available are as follows: 

Major Forex 1:30

Minor Forex 1:20

Major Indices 1:20

Gold 1:20

Commodities (excluding Gold) 1:10

Shares 1:5

CFDs on Crypto 1:2

You can have as many as 200 orders open at any time. This number also includes any pending orders you have at any time. This is limited to 200 to ensure that our servers are performing at their highest level.

A Take profit (TP) is an order that you tell or send to your broker, informing them to close your position or trade when the price reaches a specified price level in profit. Stop-loss is a trade order to sell a currency when the price reaches or falls below the specified price. This is used to limit loss, usually when the trader cannot actively monitor the price.

The demo account closely resembles a live account and will execute orders and sells at the real market price in real-time. The main differences between a demo and a live account are:

1) The demo environment doesn't need the trades to be executed in the market. This takes a very small amount of time in the scheme of things but it is still a difference between the two. Whether the price has changed in that amount of time is not something we can answer. The difference (if there is any) is likely to be very small given its a small amount of time to execute the trade with the liquidity providers.

2) There is no liquidity in the demo environment. That means I can place 1000 lots and receive the same price had I placed a 0.01 lot trade. This isn't how the market works in the live environment. Prices are subject to the liquidity that is available at the time. Sadly this isn't the easiest to predict as liquidity changes based on market conditions. As a general rule of thumb, the standard liquidity at the price you see on the platform is about 5 lots for FX majors. If you are trading more than 5 lots per click, there may be a small amount of slippage as your 2 lots are filled at the next available price which would be slightly worse.

So in summary, provided that the price didn't change within that small window where the demo servers execution is faster and that your order is small enough to not be filled on the next tier of liquidity then the price you receive on the demo will very closely align with what is on the live server.

Volume on MT4 is the size of the trade you wish to place. For example, when trading currencies most orders of 1.0 will equate to roughly $10 per pip whereas 1.0 on indices it can mean $1 per point.

In the month of September 2022, our average execution speed across all our instruments was 38 ms.

A swap rate in currencies is simply an overnight finance cost that is either received or paid on positions held overnight. They are calculated by our prime broker and liquidity providers and based on current market conditions and risk analysis. It is worth noting that Fusion Markets does not have any control over these rates but strives to only work with providers with the most competitive rates.

Yes! We offer Swap-Free accounts for our Islamic traders allowing you to trade our most popular products while adhering to your religious principles.

We do have swap rates in currencies, which is simply an overnight finance cost that is either received or paid on positions held overnight. They are calculated by our prime broker and liquidity providers and based on current market conditions and risk analysis. It is worth noting that Fusion Markets does not have any control over these rates but strives to only work with providers with the most competitive rates.  

We also offer Swap-Free Accounts that are designed for traders that have religious beliefs that prevent them from receiving or paying overnight swaps. With our no-interest, swap-free accounts, you’ll have access to over 50 of the world’s most popular financial instruments from Forex Pairs to Indices at our flagship low rates. 

We pride ourselves on making convenience and low costs a top priority, which is why our admin fee is only applied when a trade is open for longer than 7 days. This means if you close your trade 13 days after opening it, you only pay admin charges once. 

The difference between The ZERO And Classic is the cost of the account. One is where spreads start from 0.0 pips (ZERO spread) + USD 4.50 commission (The ZERO). The other is The Classic Account where the commission is included in the spread. ZERO total cost to trade is roughly around 0.5 pips, whereas the classic is about 0.9 with all costs included.

Our spreads vary depending on the current market price of each currency pair. Please click this link to see the average spread for each currency, indices and more.

Our average spreads on a classic account for, e.g. on this currency: EURUSD the Average spread is 0.92(commissions included). 

Note: The average spreads on our products list are for ZERO account. To get the Average spreads for your classic account to add the spread rate listed on our product list then add it to .9

E.g. EURUSD Spreads for ZERO is 0.02 +.9= 0.92

Triple swaps occur because the Spot FX market is a T+2 settlement, which means technically any trades still open past Thursday (5 pm Wednesday in GMT+2) will be held on Saturday and Sunday from a settlement perspective and therefore the cost or benefit of holding those is taken into account on the Wednesday close/Thursday open 

In the case of CFDs on Indices, triple swaps occur at Friday 5pm (MT4 server time 00:00) GMT+2 and is for Saturday and Sunday's trading. 

 It is important to also point out that this works both ways. You will receive triple the swap if you were short EURUSD today.

Swap rates can change very quickly depending on market conditions so be sure to check these before you enter your trade (under "Specifications" on the platform) and be mindful of the swap costs on the Wednesday market close (Thursday morning Asia time) and in the case of Indices, Friday close (Saturday morning Asia time). 

Yes, you may change from a Classic to a ZERO account. Just send us a request at [email protected], and we will change it for you.

The account is called “The ZERO” because the spreads have no mark-up and start from zero pips. It is designed to be a premium account except without the extra requirements of a minimum deposit or minimum trading volume

You can trade a range of Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Stellar, EOS, Polkadot, Chainlink and more. We're always trying to add new products, so please check your trading platform for the latest products.

Please note that whilst we strive to provide constant pricing during weekends, maintenance can occur with our liquidity providers which are out of our control and may result in intermittent pricing, usually between 10:00 and 12:00 server time on Sundays.

Any new Fusion demo will expire after 30 days from the date of creation. If you want to set your demo account to unlimited, we can set that for you once the account is funded. You may fund as low as $1, but note that most payment providers require a minimum of $10 per transaction.

There is no obligation to trade at all.

It just allows you to worry less about expiring demo accounts and focus on being successful in the markets. Please contact support if the account is funded, as the process is internal. 

The most common reason for this was an incorrect login or password. If you have forgotten your password, please check your original welcome email to Fusion Markets or create a unique password on your fusion account. Please ensure you’re selecting the ‘live’ server or ‘demo’ if logging in on a demo account.

Fusion Markets invests large amounts into our trading infrastructure and its stability. However, as with any technology, there is always the possibility of system errors or failures with these connections. We recommend that all traders have a back-up plan with their trading, such as installing the mobile or tablet app or installing the platform on another computer with a separate internet connection.  

If the trading platform loses connection as a result of Fusion Markets or its technology providers suffering an outage (and you wish to trade), please contact us immediately. We will request some information from you such and will do our best to honour the prices at the time when the system connection is restored.

The most common cause why the “new order” button and other tools are greyed out is because you may have logged in using your read-only/”investor” password. This password does not allow you to place trades or do anything but monitor the account. It is usually given to a third party (investors) to access your account in read-only mode, which means trading is not allowed. 

Please ensure you’ve logged in using the trading password or what we call the “master password” found on your welcome email. If you’re still having problems, please send a screenshot of the error, and we can investigate the issue further. 

When launching the terminal for the first time, you may see the ‘Waiting for update’ notification across your platforms’ charts. This means that the trading terminal is waiting for quotes to be transmitted. For the terminal to start receiving quotes, you need to hold down and drag and drop a product from the instrument list onto a chart.

You should also make sure that you are connected to the platform and have entered the correct login detail, password and server. Please contact us if the issue persists.

This issue generally occurs if the platform has received an order already and has not been executed yet or the trading server hasn’t received it due to connection issues with your internet. Try closing the platform and re-opening it again or contacting us via [email protected] if the problem persists.

The Fusion Markets platform currently operates using ‘New York Close’ charts, which is GMT+3.

To view all of Fusion’s products, please right click on a product within the ‘market watch’ window and select ‘show all’. This will then allow all products to be shown within your terminal.

OHLC stands for Open–High-Low-Close. This type of chart is used to display trading products over time. Each vertical line on the chart shows the price range (the highest and lowest prices) over one unit of time. 

Please see below where you can find OHLC on MT4:

If these options are not visible, click on ‘View’, then ‘Toolbars’ and make sure the ‘Line Studies’ option is ticked.

To place a Trailing Stop on open trade, right-click on the trade, select Trailing Stop, then select a distance or choose a custom amount. For reference, one pip is equal to 10 points. 

Please note. However, that trailing stops do not sit on our trading servers. This means that (like an expert advisor listed above) your platform will need to be open and constantly connected to the internet for them to be triggered.

A margin call refers to when a trader no longer has any usable/free margin. In other words, the account needs more funding or for positions to be reduced or closed. If your margin level reaches 90%, you will officially be in a margin call, and at 20% of free margin, the MT4 platform will attempt to automatically stop out your position/s to try to avoid any negative balances.  

Please be aware that the trader bears all responsibility for margin calls and managing the funds in your account. While we will attempt to contact you to deposit more funds, we can’t guarantee we will be able to.

For margin calls- we will attempt to send you an email requesting more funds for your position if your margin level reaches 90%. Please be aware that all responsibility for margin calls and managing the funds in your account are borne by the trader. While we will attempt to contact you to deposit more funds, we can’t guarantee it. If you don’t add any more funds, the platform will automatically cut your positions at 20% of free margin for VFSC and FSA Clients. For ASIC Clients, the Margin stop out level for retail accounts has moved to 50% from 20%. 

Always take extreme care to have enough equity and margin in your live account and maintain a healthy surplus of funds. Markets can move very quickly, and as a trader, you should prepare for any extreme market movements that may occur on any open positions.

"Buy Stop” - is a pending buy order whereby the entry price is currently above the market price at the time. For example, let’s assume the EUR/USD current price is 1.1000. Moreover, you want to buy EUR/USD if the price goes higher and reaches 1.1015. Therefore, 

you have to set a buy stop order at 1.1015. 

Now if you place a buy pending order below the market price, that order is known as a “Buy Limit”. 

For example, EUR/USD current price is 1.1000. Moreover, you want to buy EUR/USD if the price goes lower and reaches 1.0980. Therefore, you have to set a buy limit order at 1.0980. 

The Difference between Sell Stop and Sell Limit? 

Sell Limit is a sell pending order that you place above the market price. For example, the EUR/USD current price is 1.1000. Moreover, you want to sell EUR/USD if the price goes higher and reaches 1.1015. Therefore, you have to set a sell limit order with an entry at 1.1015.

 If you place a sell pending order below the market price, that order is known as “Sell Stop”. 

For example, EUR/USD’s current price is 1.1000. Moreover, you want to sell EUR/USD if the price goes lower and reaches 1.0980. Therefore, you have to set a sell stop order at 1.0980

Fusion clients can sign up for either a Sponsored MT4 or MT5 VPS or with a discounted MT4 Forex VPS Hosting Service from recommended third party providers. Click here to visit our VPS page and find out more. 

Unfortunately, it's not possible to change this time zone with MT4 as we set the time zone at the server level. We use "New York Close" (GMT+3 and GMT+2 with daylight savings) charts which correspond with the market opening at 00:00 and close at 23:59 server time. Doing this creates five daily candles for a more seamless technical analysis. Otherwise, the charts would have a small candle on Sunday evening if it was GMT. 

Once your identity is verified by our compliance team, you can start trading immediately. If you are an AU client, you will also have to pass a quiz to comply with the regulatory requirements.   

Fusion's refer-a-friend program is only available for VFSC or SEY clients.

Within the Fusion Client Hub, obtain your unique link and send it to your friends for them to use in signing up. If conditions are met, we will deposit USD $50 each into you and your friend's trading account (Terms and Conditions apply).

If you are a "Retail" client with 1:30 leverage with our ASIC entity, then yes. However, If you are a Fusion Pro or Fusion VFSC Client or FSA Client: No, we do not. The reason why is that, unfortunately, there is no such thing as negative balance protection in the underlying interbank forex market. Fusion (and you as our client) are exposed to the risk that the positions can’t be closed fast enough, and at the desired price. Losses can occur for both Fusion and you as the client; therefore, we can’t guarantee that they never happen. We can however advise how to reduce their chances of occurring to you. We never want our clients facing a negative balance; please take great caution using leverage on products that are exposed to risks of negative balances, particularly indices, metals and illiquid currency pairs.

Yes, you can enter trades and exit them as quickly as you would like with no restrictions on-hold time or where you set your stop loss or take profit.

Balance - the value of your account before considering any current open positions. 

Equity - This would be the current value of your account if all current positions were closed.

Margin - The amount of money you need to have, and maintain, in your account to cover any open positions. 

Free Margin - The difference between your Equity and the Margin amount above.

Margin Level - This is the ratio of Equity to Margin, calculated by the following formula:  

(Equity / Margin) x 100 = Margin Level

The contract for difference (CFD) is a popular form of derivative trading. CFD trading enables you to speculate on the rising or falling prices of fast-moving global financial markets (or instruments) such as shares, indices, commodities, currencies and treasuries.

Yes, we do offer API solution. However, Trading through FIX API is available for institutional clients. Previous experience trading via FIX is a requirement, and there will be certain volume thresholds that must be met to trade via this method. If you haven’t used FIX before, it would be best to stick to our MetaTrader 4 platform.

We execute via Market Execution. Market execution means taking whatever price is offered without any requotes (requotes are when it asks you to re-confirm the price as it has changed).

We utilise top tier relationships and strive to offer the best available bid and ask price for our clients. Furthermore, we are 50% owned by an institutional FX Broker which gives us a great advantage in offering superior pricing to our customers.

You might see a different price from platforms and brokers because different liquidity providers (LPs) have different prices for the same product. For example, LP#1 might be using a Futures price, LP#2 might be using a Cash/Spot based price, and LP#3 might be using a blend of futures and spot to create a synthetic price. Different brokers and providers will often have different prices due to the products being "Over the Counter" or "OTC" and not on a centralised exchange. Unfortunately, these price discrepancies will always vary from broker to broker. 

Dealing desk means the broker automates/executes all trades electronically. Brokers with a dealing desk will have a team of traders/dealers that can accept or reject orders if they please. Fusion does not operate a dealing desk.

Funds that are deposited into our segregated trust account are by law required to be held in a separate segregated account, away from our company funds.

For example, we are not entitled to use client money for hedging trades, nor items such as business expenses. All money deposited by clients must be held in a separate trust account to our company funds.

In order to avoid "churning", Fusion wants to incentivise responsible trading which means rebates are not payable on Fusion+ accounts. 

Due to ASIC regulations, we are currently unable to offer this service to our Australian clients. 

No, you can only copy trades between clients of Fusion Markets. 

Once you choose the settings of the copier, you can choose to create a special link or send the invitation via email to your follower. 

As each account is hosted individually, we cannot offer a demo or trial period for Fusion+ copying.

Yes, you can remove any copier on your account. Please note you will need to close any open or existing positions as the Master account cannot do so. 

Yes, you can turn it off but you will need to coordinate with the follower account to ensure they can close trades on their own platform.

We highly recommend you only set up a new, separate account to use a copier in order to avoid previous trading history. In the "Comments" section in MT4/MT5, you will see a comment with "Fusionplus". You can also view this in your Client Hub Fusion+ menu under "Trades". 

In a standard share transaction, when buying a share or multiple shares, you will need to have 100% of the value of the shares immediately. Let’s say you want to buy 1 Alphabet (Google) share at $2000 USD. You will need the full $2000 upon entering the trade.

In a Share CFD transaction, your margin requirement is 20%, meaning you only have a margin requirement of $400 (20%*$2000). With a Share CFD, the costs are generally lower and your dollar can go further.
