Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What are Synthetic Indices?

    Synthetic Indices are algorithm-generated markets that simulate different types of price movement. They are not linked to stocks, forex, commodities or traditional market indices.

  • 2. How are Synthetic Indices different from traditional indices such as DJ30 and NAS100?

    Traditional indices represent groups of real-world assets, such as listed shares. Synthetic Indices generate their own prices using predefined mathematical and probability models.

  • 3. What is the mechanism behind the 24/7 pricing of Synthetic Indices?

    Synthetic Index prices are generated continuously using predefined mathematical and probability models. Because they are not linked to external exchanges or real-world financial assets, they do not depend on traditional market opening hours. This allows prices to update every second, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and holidays.

  • 4. What are the trading conditions?

    Trading conditions vary by instrument and may include:

    • Product-specific leverage from 100:1 to 7000:1

    • Margin requirements from USD 0.50

    • Daily overnight financing

    • Fill or Kill order execution

    • Instrument and directional volume limits

    • Possible price resets at predefined extreme levels

    Please refer to the latest product specifications on MT5 or VT Markets App before placing a trade.

  • 5. Am I eligible to trade Synthetic Indices with VT Markets?

    Eligibility to trade Synthetic Indices depends on your country of residence, account type, and local regulatory requirements. These instruments are now only available to clients in selected regions across Asia and Latin America.

    For more information, kindly contact VT Markets Customer Support team.

  • 6. Is there an overnight financing charge?

    Yes. Positions held overnight are subject to a daily end-of-day financing charge. The charge is calculated using an annual interest-rate method and varies according to the applicable product specifications.

  • 7. How is margin calculated when I hedge a position?

    Margin is based on the total volume of your long and short positions. It is not calculated using only the net position or the larger side.

    For example: 3 lots long + 2 lots short = margin calculated on 5 lots

    This margin method applies even when the long and short positions partially or fully offset each other.

  • 8. What is the order execution policy?

    Synthetic Index orders use Fill or Kill execution. If an order cannot be filled immediately and in full, it is cancelled automatically rather than being partially filled.
