Lower bound
30 seconds. There is no shorter expiry.
A short move and an hour-long move are the same contract. Only the time the amount stays frozen changes.
Lower bound30 seconds. There is no shorter expiry.
Upper boundOne hour. A single contract does not hold the stake longer.
Withdrawal on that spanThe locked amount cannot be taken. The free balance that was not staked can be withdrawn.
One contract, different lengthFrom thirty seconds to one hour, only the time of the lock changes. The pair, the direction, the external quote and the percent before entry work the same on a short term and on an hour.
One hour is the ceiling. The platform does not hold a single stake longer. Another horizon is a new contract with its own entry price, not an extension of the old one.
What stays frozen for the whole termThe amount you set before the click. It is not available for withdrawal and does not join a second trade until the server closes the first.
The rest of the account lives apart. An open stake is not part of the free balance, on demo or on the real account.
Why the asset mattersOn FX an hour can catch a piece of the session. On gold the move is usually quieter and the percent is lower.
The payout does not grow with the length of the term. The percent is written on the pair, not on the minutes you picked.
The chart on the home page and the account are separate. Demo funds cannot be withdrawn.
