Example of Buying Facebook Stock:
For example, you're interested in trading Facebook stocks. The price is currently 116.88/117.03 USD.
You choose to buy 50 stocks at the offer price 117.03, because you believe the market will rise (otherwise you could sell at the bid price 116.88 if you believe the market will fall).
In this example, your total exposure is 50 stocks x 117.03 (buy price) = 5,851.5 USD.
There is a commission: 0.015 USD per stock, minimum = 1.5 USD. Therefore, the commission for opening a position = 1.5 USD.
The margin required on Facebook stocks is 5%, so to open this trade you would need to have 5,851.5 USD x 5% = 292.57 USD in your account (or the equivalent in other currency).
Over the course of the day, the market rises, and Facebook stock price is 132.52/132.67 USD. You choose to close your trade at the price 132.52. The commission for closing position = 1.5 USD.
Profit / loss is calculated based on the difference between your opening and closing prices, in points.
In this case: 132.52 – 117.03 = 15.49 USD.
You bought 50 stocks, and the market moved in your favor.
Therefore, your gross profit is 50 * 15.49 = 774.5 USD.
Please note that real stocks aren’t available for trading to clients from Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Guyana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Cuba, Laos, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Somali, Uganda, and the Central African Republic.

RoboForex relies on third-party execution venues for pricing and available volumes, therefore execution of the client’s orders will depend on the pricing and availability of liquidity at the execution venues. Although RoboForex executes all orders placed by the clients, it reserves the right to decline an order of any type or order could be declined by the execution venue.
Orders sent near the opening of trading time: Please note that markets can be especially volatile near the opening of a trading session, with prices and available volume often changing rapidly and data feeds from various markets potentially being slow or temporarily unavailable. RoboForex cannot guarantee that orders sent near the opening of trading necessarily will receive the best posted price. You may want to consider the use of limit orders at the opening, although market orders should be used if you want a higher certainty of getting a fill. In case Take Profit or Stop Loss orders are rejected, Take Profit and Stop Loss levels are removed.

When trading on the account with the netting accounting model, you can have only one open position in the same instrument, that’s why:
When trading on the account with the hedging accounting model, you can open as many positions in the same instrument in different directions as you want, in case there is enough margin for opening and maintaining them.
If you already have an open order in some instrument and you decide to open another one, you will have one more open position. Unlike the netting model, in the hedging model opening a new position in an instrument has no influence on existing ones.
