Forex Trading - Hedging and Scalping

At Yadix Forex Broker, we understand that different traders have different forex trading strategies that help them make profit when trading forex.

When trading forex with Yadix, all clients can be sure that no trading startegies will be discriminated against. Hedging and Scalping are two of the most used strategies that are welcome at Yadix. As an STP ForexBroker, our business model benefits from profitable trading clients, unlike the model of a dealing desk that generates profit from clients’ losses.

When clients use strategies in dealing desk forex brokers, there are always restrictions in how these strategies are used, for example, scalpers will have a set limit of time or minimum pip limit before the scalp can be closed. Also with hedging, there is usually a minimum pip limit in place to stop true hedging.

Yadix is able to welcome and serve you no matter your strategy and the forex trading environment is beneficial for all traders. You can even utilise your strategy to gain higher value cash rewards and forex rebates  in the Yadix promotions programme.

Forex Leverage – Advantages and Disadvantages

In forex, leverage is often a critical factor to your trading strategy and your choice of broker. In this article, we’ll talk about leverage choice and how it can work for or against you.

Leverage, can be used to reduce the capital investment need to trade forex, this is referred to as margin in the MetaTrader 4 forex trading platform. If the ratio of chosen is 1:500, you can enter the markets with a capital investment of $1,000 but enter trades with the value of $500,000. As the market moves for or against your forex trade (order), your account equity will grow or will reduce according to the ration of leverage chosen on your account (risk level).

Many traders tend to only see the positive side to trading forex using high levels of leverage, however, at Yadix we believe that it is important for clients to fully understand how leverage choice is critical to how your account can be affected in a positive or negative way.  This is because the potential rewards and risks of trading forex and multiplied by the leverage you choose to trade with.

Leverage is a loan from the forex broker that you are trading with and is used to multiply your account equity using your deposited funds as collateral.  When your account reaches a pre-set level of equity, the MT4 platform triggers a Margin Call, a warning to you that your account equity is at a low level.  The next step is a Stop Out, this is also a pre-set level set in the MT4 forex platform that will close orders starting from the least profitable first. These actions are to primarily protect your account from going into a negative balance, and also to protect the broker from making any losses on the loan (leverage) on which you are trading.

At Yadix Forex Broker, we offer our clients a flexible choice of leverage from 1:1 to 1:500 for our clients to choose from. However, we always encourage the education and correct use of this forex trading facility.

MetaTrader 4 still remains the choice for clients that trade forex using automated trading tools (Expert Advisors).

Yadix Forex Broker – Understanding Leverage

Yadix offers clients a flexible leverage range to suit their trading style or according to the settings of their automated trading tools or Expert Advisors.

Leverage can be presented in many positive ways to influence your decision to choose a high level of forex leverage; however the Yadix team is committed in providing a transparent explanation as to how leverage can benefit your trading account as well as how the wrong choice of leverage can negatively affect your leveraged forex trading account, balance and risk strategy. 

As Yadix is an STP broker, we highly recommend that your choice of leverage should be set to a maximum of 1:100. A dealing desk forex broker will recommend the use of a higher level of forex leverage and this is because the higher the leverage, the higher level of risk on your account meaning that you have a greater chance to lose your balance using a higher leverage. This is where a dealing desk forex broker makes profit on their clients’ losses.

An STP Forex Broker, only makes a commission based on clients trading volumes, and our aim is to help you generate more forex traded volumes and not push you to lose your balance. Clients must remember that in forex, leverage can work two ways, either for or against you and it is the main reason why clients lose money when trading forex. We highly recommend that all traders use a lower level of leverage, or at least to understand the full risk of misusing leverage.

Your Expert Advisor is always welcome at Yadix, and we are happy to accommodate your leverage settings to ensure that your EA operates without issue and maximum efficiency. If you have any questions regarding the leverage levels offered by Yadix, or the implementation of your EA on our MT4 forex trading platform, please feel free to contact our professional forex trading advisors.

Yadix Forex Broker – EA Trading with an STP Broker

The use of automated forex trading tools is becoming more popular with forex traders, the Yadix MetaTrader 4 platform supports all EAs written in MQL4 code. By using an expert advisor allows clients of Yadix a more reliable and efficient way to trade forex when comparing to self-trading. 

EAs are programmed with specific strategies and react to the markets in real time. The strategy which the EA relies upon will automatically identify the signals from the forex trading charts and trigger the expert advisor to submit trades, take partial profits and close trades based on the way it is programmed to function.

Another benefit of trading using automated trading tools is the fact that the EA can be connected to the MetaTrader4 trading server 24 hours of the day, meaning that unlike us humans, the programme will not miss profitable forex trading opportunities at the time where traders are sleeping or unable to be physically sitting in front of the PC waiting for the perfect trading opportunity.

Yadix, as an STP broker provides the ideal trading environment for the users of expert advisors, with a no re-quote and no conflict of interest policy clients can be certain that EAs will never be restricted or excluded from our forex environment. Furthermore, the free VPS (Virtual PrivateServer) facility will allow clients that trade forex using expert advisors to be connected 24 hours a day and never with latency.

Yadix Forex Broker - Understanding EAs

Expert Advisors are basically a successful forex trader’s strategy that is crammed into a programme that is designed to trade forex markets, maximise forex profit opportunities and make money for the owner of the EA.

The EA will work on predefined trading strategies, usually based around technical analysis. Forex technical analysis has proven to be much more efficient and less subjective in forex trading markets when compared to fundamental or economic analysis as both of the later do not cover critical technical elements of trading any financial asset.

Once the Expert Advisor has been programmed and tested, it’s ready to be released in to the market place to generate profits for the traders. The EA will always be backed with months or even years of historic trading and performance data to allow the trader to make an informed decision prior to investing. Once agreed, all the trader needs to do is to simply add the EA to his MetaTrader 4 Platform, fund the account and sit back and watch the balance grow.

Yadix Forex Broker operates the STP model which means that all traders are submitted directly to the liquidity providers and not through a dealing desk. Dealing desks or market maker brokers base the profitability on clients’ losses and as a result often restrict the use of profit making automated trading tools.

As a client of Yadix, using an expert advisor, you can rest assured that you will benefit from all of the excellent trading conditions without facing restrictions or expulsion from trading using your EA. Our profits are based purely on the commissions received from the forex trading volumes. Yadix offers a free VPS facility to greatly improve the forex trading experience for clients that trade using automaded trading tools or Expert Advisors.

Yadix Forex Broker - VPS & EA Hosting

At Yadix, we understand that trading using Expert Advisors is not as simple as people might think. There are several factors that need to be taken into consideration in order to maximise the performance of your EA and of course profitability.


Connection – A stable, reliable and fast internet connection is critical to your trading success. If you have intermittent connection issues, or your connection is slow, there is no doubt that your expert advisor will not perform according to your requirements.


24 Hour Trading - As the market never sleeps, neither should your EA. If it does not have access to your MT4 account and the internet, you will miss trading opportunities that could generate for you forex profits.


STP Broker & Liquidity - An STP broker is ideal for the use of Expert Advisors as you can be assured that you won’t face expensive re-quotes when trying to enter the market. However, an STP broker without very good liquidity providers can also cause trading issues with your EA.


Yadix combats all of these issues by firstly only working with more than 15 top tier liquidity providers that compete for your forex trading volumes. These liquidity providers can easily handle all trade sizes no matter what instrument or time of day (or night), allowing your EA to open and close positions without issues.


The Yadix VPS facility allows users of expert advisors the freedom to leave the EA connected to the market 25 hours per day, ensuring that profitable trading opportunities are never missed. Also, the VPS facility allows your expert advisor to be hosted as if it is in the same room as the MT4 trading server.  This will remove any internet connection downtime and latency that are the biggest cause of order execution delays and failures.


To learn more about using the Yadix VPS facility or our STP Forex Liquidity providers, please feel free to register an account and take advantage of EA friendly trading environment.
