Learning
A short course in the desk
The learning centre is a plain-language tour of the ideas you meet on the ticket: spread, margin, stops, financing, and the difference between a CFD, a plan and a copy link. It will not tell you what to buy. It will stop you confusing the products.
01 — Learning
Spread
You buy at a higher price than you sell. That gap is a cost on every round trip, before the market has moved.
Start with the desk tour
02 — Learning
Margin
Margin is the cash locked so the position can exist. It is not the maximum you can lose if the market gaps.

03 — Learning
Stop
A stop is an order to exit at a price. In a gap, the fill can be worse than the price you typed.

04 — Learning
Product types
A CFD, a turbo, a plan, a stake and a copied strategy close in different ways. Learn the exit before the entry.

The worked example
EUR/USD, the S&P 500 and Apple. Spread, points and a share price are three different units.

Orders you will actually see
The ticket names them. The behaviour is simple.
- Market: fill at the next available price. Fast, and not a promised price.
- Limit: fill only at your price or better. It may never fill.
- Stop: exit, or enter, when the price reaches a level.
- Size: the amount that turns a one-point move into money.
A study order
Read these pages in an order that builds.
- Web trading, so the screen makes sense.
- One market page, so the hours and the contract make sense.
- Investing, only if you are allocating rather than clicking a ticket.
- Help, so you know what a good support note contains.
How to get started
01
Pick one market
Read its page. Ignore the rest of the menu for an hour.
02
Map the ticket
After you register, find spread, size, margin and close on one symbol.
03
Write the exit
Before any larger size, know what closes the trade: your stop, a barrier, or a term date.
FAQ
Will this tell me what to buy?
No. It explains mechanics. The decision and the loss stay with you.
Where are videos?
These pages are the reference. The desk itself is the practice, after you sign in.
What should a beginner avoid?
