How much is the maximum deposit?

You can fund as much as you like, but when using a Visa or Mastercard, we recommend a maximum of AUD 25,000 or equivalent at a time to reduce rejections from Visa or Mastercard.

Is there a charge to fund my account?

We do not charge fees on funding your account if you fund with Visa or Mastercard.

If funding with a bank wire, transfers from Australia to our Australian account also incur no fees. 

If you are transferring from an international bank account to our Australian trust account, the fees will likely be USD $20-$30. 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.

What are your modes of payment/deposit?

We strive to provide our clients with the best service we can by offering different kinds of payment methods. We offer the ability to fund fee-free via Visa, MasterCard (credit & debit), PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Fasapay, Jeton Wallet, Perfect Money, Online Naira, Doku, Cryptos or bank wire.

However, depending on which country you’re depositing from, the process can typically take up to 5 business days.

How do I transfer funds between two trading accounts?

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

How do I withdraw funds? Are there any restrictions?

To withdraw your funds, log in to the Fusion hub and go to the “Payment” tab located on the left-hand side, then choose the method you would like to use. Please see this short video  for how to do so.  

Whilst there are no restrictions, Fusion Markets does follow a match-back policy when it comes to PayPal funding. This means that if you have funded your account via PayPal, you will need to withdraw back to that same PayPal account to the amount of your initial deposits (most recent 6-months), before choosing an alternate method. You can of course withdraw further funds through PayPal beyond this amount if that is your preference.  

This match-back policy allows Fusion Markets to ensure it is AML compliant. Your most recent deposits will be refunded back through PayPal to the original source of funding as a priority, and then any additional withdrawal you make will be sent by the method of your choosing.  

For example, if you funded $1000 via PayPal, we will need to refund the $1000 back through that same PayPal account before you choose to withdraw profits via an alternative method.  

 

 

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.

What are your withdrawal methods?

Withdrawals are available through a range of e-wallet services and of course straight to your account via bank wire transfer. For the full range of methods, please visit your Fusion hub, or feel free to reach out to us via live chat or email ([email protected]) to discuss further.

How long does it take to withdraw from my account?

All withdrawals received by 11am AEDT are processed on the same day. If we receive your request after 11am AEDT, we will process it the next business day. Some of our methods are instantly received once processed, however as a general rule, you should receive your funds within 1-5 business days once processed (depending on the method you choose).

Can I withdraw while I have trading positions open on my account?

When withdrawing funds from your live account, you will need to take extreme care so as not to withdraw too much that you trigger a margin call or automatic stop out on your account. Please note that managing your risk and margin levels are your responsibility, and we are unable to restore any closed positions if you do so.

Trading Questions

How much are your commissions?

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. 

I chose The Classic Account. Can I change to The ZERO later?

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

Why is the USD and AUD commission rate both $4.50?

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. 

What is the maximum leverage on products?

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 'Retail' ASIC clients, please visit the FAQ ""I am a ""Retail"" client under ASIC, what is the maximum leverage I can have?" For Fusion Pro Accounts the maximum leverage available are as follows: Forex & Metals: 500:1, Index CFDs: 100:1 and Cryptocurrencies: 10:1.

What is the minimum trade size?

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.

What is the maximum lot size I can trade with you?

The maximum lot size that you can trade is 100 lots. 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.

What is the maximum leverage for my account balance?

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 Global Prime VFSC, or Global Prime Pro accounts only.

(For "Retail" ASIC clients please visit the FAQ "When I create an account what is the standard leverage?")

$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.

I am a "Retail" client under ASIC, what is the maximum leverage I can have?

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

How many orders can I have open at once?

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.

What is a Stop Loss and Take Profit?

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 (SL) 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.

Is the Demo account accurate?

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.

What does “volume” on MT4 Mean?

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.

What is your average execution speed?

In the month of August 2023, our average execution speed across all our instruments was 37 ms.

What are swaps? How do you calculate them?

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.

Do you offer Swap Free or Islamic Accounts?

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

You can find all the relevant information on our Swap-Free page.

If you're interested in opening a Swap-Free account, contact your account manager or reach out to us directly and we can get you started.

How do I open a Swap Free or Islamic Account?

To open a Swap Free or Islamic account you’ll need to contact your account manager or reach out to us directly and we can get you started. You can read more about our Swap Free accounts here.  

What is the difference between the Classic and the ZERO Account?

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.

How do I change from a demo to a live account?

To switch from a demo to a live account, you will need to open a new live account through the client hub and complete the verification process.

How is your spread being calculated on the ZERO account?

Our spreads vary depending on the current market price of each currency pair. With our Historical and Live Spreads tool you can track how our spreads o n most popular trading instruments have changed over the last month, and even benchmark us! 

You can also check out our Trading Conditions to learn more.  

How is your spread being calculated on a Classic account?

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 0.9.

E.g. EURUSD Spreads for ZERO is 0.2 + 0.9= 1.1

You can use our Historical and Live Spreads Tool to discover our average, minimum and maximum spreads, as well as how they have changed historically over the last month.  

Why did I get charged triple the amount of swaps?

Triple swaps occur because the Spot FX market is a T+2 settlement, which means technically any trades still open past Thursday (23:59 Wednesday in GMT+3) 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 EST New York time (00:00 server time GMT+3) 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).

Why do you call your account “The ZERO”?

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.

Can I trade Crypto?

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. 

Can I trade on the weekends?

You can trade our range of cryptocurrencies on the weekend, as crypto markets are open 24/7.

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.

For our other symbols, you'll only be able to trade them on weekdays during market hours. Visit our trading conditions page to see the market hours for our different trading instruments.

You can also see instrument trading times in MetaTrader under "specifications" of the symbol you're looking to trade.

Why can't I open a US Share CFD position before an earnings call?

If may see the message that "only position closing is allowed" just prior to an earnings report.

Earnings releases can be high-impact events, and usually take place while the market is closed for trading. To reduce the risk of negative balances occurring during these announcements, some trading instruments may change to close-only ahead of earnings releases, or other changes to margin requirements may occur.

This is only temporary and once earnings reports are released, you will be able to open trades on the instrument as normal.

If your issue is unrelated to earnings reports, please contact support to further investigate your issue.

Are there commissions when trading Crypto?

No, we don't charge any commissions on crypto trading .

Our commission-free crypto trading means you can trade Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Doge, and more and pay $0 in brokerage fees - putting the saving back in your pocket.

Do you allow hedging on the platform?

Yes, Fusion Markets allow hedging. In the context of MT4 trading, “hedging” refers to where you can buy and sell the same product at the same time. e.g. short USDJPY and long USDJPY at the same time.

Why am I being charged margin on my hedged positions?

To comply with ASIC regulations, ASIC retail clients are required to maintain full margin on hedged positions. This means that even when you have offsetting buy and sell positions, the full margin requirement applies to each trade individually. 

We understand this requirement may impact your trading strategy. If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please contact our 24/7 support team at [email protected]. 

Is there a limit on the number of trades I can make per day?

You have the flexibility to open and close as many trades as you wish within a day, regardless of the hold time of each trade. Except in cases of deliberately taking advantage of platform faults. 

For information about positions, see our FAQ about maximum positions here

Do you offer copy trading?

Yes, we do offer copy trading

What happens if I hit my account’s trade exposure limit?

A message is also shown in your MT4 platform’s journals on the order as ‘failed [Invalid Volume]’

Whilst we encourage all clients to actively monitor and be aware of the exposure levels on their accounts, if you do reach the maximum exposure limit on your trading account then - when you attempt to place a trade that would exceed that exposure level - you will receive the error message “Invalid Volume”. 

You won't be able to execute a trade that breaches the exposure limit.

Should you encounter this and wish to increase your maximum account exposure limit, please contact your account manager to discuss options.

Is there a limit to how much trade exposure I can open?

By default, Fusion Markets sets a limit on each MT4 account’s net open exposure of 50,000,000 USD.

We understand that not all traders are the same, so if you feel that you require a higher limit than the default then your account manager can discuss a range of options with your needs in mind.

This limit is in place to protect both Fusion Markets and our traders from excessive exposures without first arranging for higher limits with your account manager.

Do you allow arbitrage?

We do not allow arbitrage trading strategies that aim to exploit off-market pricing or any features of our trading environment. Latency arbitrage, swap arbitrage, or any strategy designed to exploit the technical, pricing, or execution characteristics of our trading environment is strictly prohibited under our terms and conditions.

 

However, we understand that some clients use strategies referred to as statistical arbitrage, which involve longer-term analysis of market patterns and trends. These strategies that are based on genuine market analysis and do not exploit our platform’s environment or systems are acceptable.

 

If you have any questions or concerns about your strategy, please reach out to our team for clarification

What if I have lost internet connection, or the system goes down?

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 backup 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 and will do our best to honour the prices at the time when the system connection is restored.

Why are the new order button and other tools greyed out?

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. 

What does the error “Waiting for update” mean?

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.

What does “Trade Context is busy” mean?

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.

FAQ image
What is a margin call?

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.

What is your MT4/MT5 margin call and stop out level?

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 margin stop out level is 50% and margin call level is 100%.

What is the safest way to keep out of margin call?

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.

What is the difference between buy stops, buy limits, sell stops and sell limits?

"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.

Why does TradingView have different pricing to Fusion Markets on certain products?

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.

Are commissions different on TradingView?

We pride ourselves on our low costs and we continue this with TradingView. Although commissions will feel very similar between MetaTrader and TradingView, there is an important difference in the calculation that you need to understand to ensure you accurately account for your costs.

In MetaTrader, commissions are charged per lot. In TradingView (powered by cTrader), commissions are charged at a rate of $2.25 per $100,000 of notional volume traded (both in the base currency traded).

So, in TradingView if you trade 1 lot of EURUSD (EUR 100,000 notional value traded per side), the commission will be EUR 2.25 per side or EUR 4.5 round-turn.

However, if you trade 1 lot of AUDUSD (AUD $100,000 notional value), the commission will be AUD $2.25 (per side) or AUD $4.5 round-turn.

From the above two examples, you can see that the commissions are slightly different per-lot, because the commission charge will always be proportional to the notional volume traded rather than the lots traded. The EUR trade charges commission in Euros and the AUD trade charges commission in Australian Dollars, making the costs of the trades slightly different - these amounts would then be converted back to your account currency automatically.

Another important difference to note is when a standard lot is not exactly 100,000 notional value, such as when trading Gold or Silver.

With these instruments, you need to consider the notional value and not just the lot size. As in the above examples, when you trade US $100,000 notional value, your commission will still be US$2.25.

General Information

Can I change the time on MT4/MT5 charts?

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.

What is a dealing desk?

"A dealing desk broker manually intervenes in trade execution, with a team of traders/dealers who can accept or reject orders at their discretion. 

This contrasts with non-dealing desk brokers, who automate and execute trades electronically without human intervention. Fusion strictly operates as a non-dealing desk, ensuring that all trades are executed automatically. To further specify, our model revolves around Electronic Communications Network (ECN) where the most competitive price feed of a symbol is selected from a network of highly reputable liquidity providers which is then passed on to our clients. 

This allows us to be one of the lowest-cost brokers in the industry."

How to I add and enable Two Factor Authentication (2FA)?

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 from our company funds.

Can I receive coaching on how to trade?

Fusion markets can execute your trades but not provide advice on when what and how to trade. Trading can be a very personal experience, and we believe that you should find the best system and coach to suit your needs.

  • Screenshot or evidence of the trade on your MT4 platform

Do you offer Binary Options?

Binary options are not included in our existing products. Binary options are not something Fusion Markets will offer to customers, and we advise clients to take extreme caution with these products if you are considering investing in them.

Are US Share CFDs different to cash equities?

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.

What are your support hours? Are you available on weekends?

Our Client Success Team is working hard for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so whenever you encounter an issue, feel free to contact us. You can email us at [email protected], reach out via our live chat or call us on +61 3 8376 2706. We will respond the first second we can.

Can I use a demo account for Fusion+

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

I have copied someone's trades, can I turn off the copier whenever I like?

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.

What are the differences between cTrader and MetaTrader?

The main differences between the two are their interfaces, programming language (this affects your EAs), and chart types and timeframes (cTrader offers a wider range). There are also additional differences in some features, but as a quick summary, the above covers the main differences.

You can learn more details about the differences on our cTrader MetaTrader comparison blog post .

Are trading conditions the same on cTrader?

Yes, all symbols have the same trading conditions as MetaTrader, however, the commissions are slightly different.

Please refer to the cTrader Commissions FAQ to understand the difference in commissions between cTrader and MetaTrader.

Are commissions different on cTrader?

We pride ourselves on our low costs and we continue this with cTrader. Although commissions will feel very similar between MetaTrader and cTrader, there is an important difference in calculation that you need to understand to ensure you accurately account for your costs.

In MetaTrader, commissions are charged per lot. In cTrader, commissions are charged at a rate of $2.25 per $100,000 of notional volume traded (both in the base currency traded).

So, in cTrader if you trade 1 lot of EURUSD (EUR 100,000 notional value traded per side), the commission will be EUR 2.25 per side or EUR 4.5 round-turn.

However, if you trade 1 lot of AUDUSD (AUD $100,000 notional value), the commission will be AUD $2.25 (per side) or AUD $4.5 round-turn.

From the above two examples, you can see that the commissions are slightly different per-lot, because the commission charge will always be proportional to the notional volume traded rather than the lots traded. The EUR trade charges commission in Euros and the AUD trade charges commission in Australian Dollars, making the costs of the trades slightly different - these amounts would then be converted back to your account currency automatically.

Another important difference to note is when a standard lot is not exactly 100,000 notional value, such as when trading Gold or Silver.

With these instruments, you need to consider the notional value and not just the lot size. As in the above examples, when you trade US $100,000 notional value, your commission will still be US$2.25.
