Before placing a trade, it is crucial to understand the exact specifications of the instrument you are trading - including lot sizes, swap rates, margin requirements, and market schedules.

Both platforms make it easy to access these details in just a couple of clicks:

On cTrader

You can quickly check the full symbol information on any device:

  • Desktop/Web: In your Watchlist or Market Watch panel, right-click the instrument you want to trade and select "Symbol Information" (or simply click the โ“˜ icon next to the symbol name). A panel will open displaying the market hours, swap rates, trade statistics, and more.

  • Mobile App: Tap on the specific instrument, then tap the โ“˜ icon (information symbol) in the top-right corner of your screen to view its full details.

On TradeLocker

TradeLocker provides a detailed breakdown (including leverage, fee per lot, and swap values) directly from your instruments list:

  • Desktop/Web: Find your chosen instrument in the Markets panel on the left side of your screen. Right-click on the instrument and select "View Details" from the drop-down menu.

  • Mobile App: Navigate to your instruments list, long-press on the instrument you want to explore, and tap "View Details" when the menu pops up.
