If your margin level drops to 50%, the system will begin automatically closing your positions, starting with the largest losing position, until your margin level recovers above 50%.

Order Types

Market Order— Execute immediately at the best available current market price. Subject to slippage during fast-moving markets or news events.
Limit Order— Open or close a position at a specified price or better. If the market doesn't reach the limit price, the order is not executed.
Stop Order— Triggers when the market reaches a defined price level. Used for stop loss placement or breakout entry strategies.
Stop Limit Order— A combination of stop and limit order. When the stop price is triggered, a limit order is placed at the specified limit price.
Trailing Stop— A dynamic stop loss that follows favorable price movement by a defined distance (in pips). Locks in profit as price moves in your favor.

Slippage Policy

Slippage occurs when a trade is executed at a price different from the requested price. This happens in fast-moving market conditions, during major economic news releases, or at market open/close.

Positive Slippage

Your order fills at a better price than requested. NobuFX passes this improvement directly to you.

Negative Slippage

Your order fills at a worse price. This occurs during illiquid conditions or high-impact news. We minimize this through our ECN model.

No Re-quotes

NobuFX does not re-quote orders. We operate a no re-quote policy — orders are filled at the best available price instantly.
