Offline chart viewing is supported for analysis without internet access. Mobile deposits and withdrawals integrate seamlessly with Nigerian payment methods, including bank transfers and e-wallets.

Economic Calendar and VPS Hosting

The integrated economic calendar highlights Nigerian economic releases alongside global events to help traders plan entries and exits. For clients with balances above $500, we provide complimentary VPS hosting to ensure uninterrupted trading and 24/7 platform uptime. This is especially beneficial for running automated Expert Advisors without delays caused by local internet fluctuations.

Payment Methods and Processing in Nigeria

Nigerian users can fund accounts through local bank transfers, international wire transfers, and popular e-wallets. Deposits in Nigerian Naira (NGN) convert automatically at competitive rates. Local transfers clear within 2 to 4 hours, while international wires take 1 to 3 business days. Our platform supports major Nigerian banks like Access Bank, GTBank, First Bank, UBA, and Zenith Bank for seamless transactions.

Trading Instruments Available to Nigerian Clients

Forex Currency Pairs and Spreads

Our platform features 60+ currency pairs, including major, minor, and exotic pairs with Nigerian Naira crosses like USD/NGN and EUR/NGN. Spread for USD/NGN starts at 15 pips due to local liquidity factors, while EUR/USD spreads begin at 0.8 pips on premium accounts. Spreads tighten during peak sessions including London and New York.
