Chart

A graph representing the movements of one currency pair over a specified period of time. Charts provide bars showing movements over periods as short as 1 minute or as long as 1 month. The bars displayed on charts can be set to display as points on a graph, hi/low bars, or candles depending on how the trader wishes to view the data.

Clearing

The process a broker dealer’s back office uses to settle a trade.

Commission

A fee that is charged for a broker/dealer for facilitating a transaction between two parties.

Country Risk

Changes in the policies or structure of the government that may adversely affect the value of the country’s currency and thus the value of an investor’s position.

Cross Pair

A currency pair that does not include the US Dollar. By dealing with a cross pair a trader does not have to convert funds into US Dollars at any point in the transaction.

Counterparty

The party on the opposite side of a trade.

Counterparty Risk

The risk that the party on the other side of the trade will not be able to pay for a position sold to them or, conversely, will not be able to deliver a position purchased from them.

Currency Option

A contract in which one party agrees to give a second party the option (but not the obligation) to buy or sell a currency at a predetermined price at some point in the future.

Currency Pair

A currency pair is a trading unit that allows you to take a position in one currency relative to another currency with the expectation that the currency you bought will appreciate in value relative to the currency you sold. The first currency in the pair is called the “Base” currency; the second currency is called the cross currency.

Suppose the Euro is trading at 1.2200 US Dollars and you believe the Euro is going to appreciate against the Dollar. You would buy (or go “long”) on the EURUSD pair. You have just simultaneously bought Euros and sold US Dollars.

If you are correct and the Euro appreciates to 1.2700 you would sell Euros you bought at 1.2200 at the new rate of 1.2700.

All Forex trading is done in terms of currency pairs. The following pairs are commonly traded:

    Gram tu od jakichs trzech miesiecy, wiec mam prawo cos skrobnac. Wpadlem na to z polecenia kolegi, z prostego powodu — zmeczylo mnie weryfikacji ciagnacej sie w nieskonczonosc gdzie indziej. To co FieryPlay ma w lobby robi wrazenie objetoscia — cos ponad 2800 pozycji, w wiekszosci Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt plus troche Yggdrasil i paroma rzeczami od Big Time Gaming.

    Sam najwiecej klikam Gates of Olympus i Sweet Bonanza, nic odkrywczego. Dobrze ze wersje demo sa dostepne od reki, polatalem po nowosciach zanim wrzucilem prawdziwa kase. Sortowanie gier natomiast mogloby byc lepsze — brakuje mi filtra po zmiennosci.

    Sekcja live oparte na Evolution i to czuc. Ruletka, blackjack, plus te ich show typu Crazy Time — potrafi wciagnac na dluzej niz zakladalem. Prawdziwi ludzie po drugiej stronie, po angielsku, polskojezycznego dealera brak — komus moze to przeszkadzac.

    Bonus powitalny u nich w FieryPlay to 100% do 2000 zl z setka darmowych spinow, rozbite na kilka dni. Warunek obrotu to x35 — ani rewelacja, ani dramat. Widzialem takze 20 spinow bez wplaty za weryfikacje, choc to akcja czasowa. Warunki przejrzyj zanim klikniesz — oferta bywa inna niz tydzien wczesniej, aktualne rzeczy widac na fiery play zanim zalozysz konto.

    Konto zrobilem w niecale trzy minuty, od 20 zl mozna zaczac. Place karta, ale sa tez Skrill, Neteller i krypto. Wyplaty na e-portfel schodza w kilka godzin, przelew na karte wolniej. Weryfikacja za pierwszym razem — dowod plus rachunek, nic strasznego.

    Z komorki smiga w przegladarce, apki nie ma i chyba nie potrzeba. Czat z supportem FieryPlay odpisuje po polsku w kilka minut, choc raz trafilem na kogos kto kopiowal gotowce z FAQ. Dzialaja na licencji Curacao — nie MGA, wiec swiadomosc ryzyka po twojej stronie. Limitow na siebie nie ustawialem, ale opcja jest w profilu.

    Siedze tu od jakichs trzech miesiecy, wiec juz chyba wypada cos skrobnac. Znalazlem to szukajac czegos z szybkimi wyplatami, bo wkurzalo mnie tego cyrku z dokumentami gdzie indziej. Sam lobby FieryPlay wyglada solidnie — jakies 3000 pozycji, w wiekszosci Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt plus troche Yggdrasil oraz Betsoft.

    Ja osobiscie gram glownie w Sweet Bonanza i Book of Dead, standard, nie ma co ukrywac. Dobrze ze demo dziala bez logowania, przetestowalem pare nowosci zanim wplacilem cokolwiek. Wyszukiwarka natomiast kuleje — brakuje mi filtra po zmiennosci.

    Sekcja live oparte na Evolution i to czuc. Blackjack, ruletka, plus te ich show typu Crazy Time — potrafi wciagnac na dluzej niz zakladalem. Krupierzy to zywe osoby, w wiekszosci anglojezyczni, polskojezycznego dealera brak — dla czesci osob to minus.

    Bonus powitalny w FieryPlay to 100% do 2000 zl plus 100 FS, nie wszystkie od razu, po czesci. Warunek obrotu to x35 — standard w tej branzy. Widzialem takze 20 spinow bez wplaty za weryfikacje, choc to akcja czasowa. Regulamin przeczytaj zanim klikniesz — kody potrafia sie zmieniac z miesiaca na miesiac, najnowsze warunki sa opisane na fieryplay casino jesli chcesz sprawdzic przed rejestracja.

    Konto zrobilem w dwie minuty, minimalna wplata 20 zl. Place karta, obok tego dzialaja Skrill, Neteller oraz Bitcoin. Kasa wychodzi na e-portfel schodza w kilka godzin, przelew na karte wolniej. Weryfikacja przy pierwszej wyplacie — typowe papiery, przeszlo w jedna dobe.

    Na telefonie gram bez aplikacji, nie ma appki, strona radzi sobie dobrze. Obsluga na FieryPlay odpisal mi po polsku bez dluzszego czekania, raz musialem powtorzyc pytanie dwa razy. Licencja Curacao — nie MGA, wiec swiadomosc ryzyka po twojej stronie. Limitow na siebie nie ustawialem, ale opcja jest w profilu.
