Execution Speed and Order Processing

Market Execution Technology

AMarkets uses Straight Through Processing (STP) technology to execute orders directly with tier-1 liquidity providers. Market orders average 0.03 seconds execution time, with 99.8% completed within 0.1 seconds under normal conditions. The platform supports multiple order types: market, pending (buy limit, sell limit, buy stop, sell stop), and advanced orders such as one-cancels-other (OCO). Large orders receive automatic partial fills if requested volume exceeds available liquidity at the price level.

Slippage Control and Requotes

Slippage is tightly controlled, limited to a maximum of 2 pips for major currency pairs during regular hours. Requotes occur in under 0.1% of trades, primarily during periods of extreme volatility or low liquidity. Traders can set slippage tolerance parameters to control maximum acceptable price deviation on market orders. Stop loss and take profit orders execute precisely at specified levels without slippage, ensuring accurate risk management.

• Direct market access with STP execution
• Support for diverse order types including OCO
• Fast trade execution with minimal latency
• Configurable slippage tolerance settings
• Guaranteed execution of stop loss and take profit levels

Leverage Options and Margin Requirements

We offer Indian clients flexible leverage ratios tailored to instruments and account types. Forex pairs allow up to 1:1000 leverage, stock indices up to 1:200, and cryptocurrency CFDs limited to 1:10 to reduce risk. Margin requirements are dynamic, calculated based on account equity and open positions. For example, trading one standard lot of EUR/USD at 1:500 leverage requires an initial margin of ₹200, with maintenance margin set at 50% of the initial amount. The platform monitors margin levels and alerts traders approaching margin calls. Negative balance protection ensures that account balances never drop below zero regardless of market conditions. Margin call activates at 50% margin level, while stop-out triggers at 20% to protect remaining funds.

• Forex leverage up to 1:1000 for major pairs
• Conservative leverage for cryptocurrencies at 1:10
• Dynamic margin calculation based on position size
• Automatic margin call and stop-out alerts
