Frequently Asked Questions

1. How to open a real account?
You have to contract with us to fill the agreement then start working immediately.

2. Where should I transfer deposit?

3. Can I use the sub-account as a usual bank account?

4. Will there be accumulated interest on the money?
No, (IFB) does not add interest to the money on the deposit. 

5. How much can I gain if I start trading in the FOREX market with a minimum deposit?
Everything depends on the level of your experience. Very few professionals reach the level of profit 10 to 20 per cent a month. Most successful traders make 2 to 10 per cent a month. The level of profit depends on the sum of the margin deposit. It's sufficient to double or even treble the minimum deposit within a short period of time, but if the deposit is average or big, it's practically impossible to do it. You shouldn't forget that high profits are proportional to high risks.
