Chart

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.

Commission

Country Risk

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 dobrych paru miesiecy, wiec chyba moge cos napisac. Wpadlem na to z polecenia kolegi, z prostego powodu — mialem dosc tego cyrku z dokumentami gdzie indziej. To co FieryPlay ma w lobby jest spore — jakies 2500 tytulow, glownie Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt i troche Yggdrasil oraz Betsoft.

    Ja gram glownie w Book of Dead, no i klasyczne Gates of Olympus, banal, wiem. Dobrze ze mozna odpalic demo bez zakladania konta, przetestowalem pare nowosci zanim wrzucilem prawdziwa kase. Wyszukiwarka za to jest przecietne — szukanie po nazwie dziala, reszta srednio.

    Zywe stoly stoi na Evolution co akurat jest zaleta. Blackjack, ruletka, no i te teleturnieje typu Crazy Time — potrafi wciagnac na dluzej niz zakladalem. Prawdziwi ludzie po drugiej stronie, po angielsku, na polski stol nie trafilem — komus moze to przeszkadzac.

    Pakiet na start w FieryPlay to 100% do 2000 zl i 100 free spinow, wydawane po 20 dziennie. Wager x35 — standard w tej branzy. Zdarzaly sie jakies spiny bez depozytu za weryfikacje numeru, nie liczylbym na to na stale. Regulamin przeczytaj zanim klikniesz — promocje rotuja dosc szybko, aktualne rzeczy widac na fieryplay casino jesli chcesz sprawdzic przed rejestracja.

    Konto zrobilem w niecale trzy minuty, od 20 zl mozna zaczac. Wrzucam kase Mastercardem, ale sa tez Skrill, Neteller i platnosci w BTC. Wyplaty ida szybko na portfele, karta to juz dwa-trzy dni. Weryfikacja na start — standard, poszlo gladko.

    Mobilnie smiga w przegladarce, dedykowanej apki brak, ale strona sie skaluje. Support FieryPlay odpisuje po polsku bez dluzszego czekania, choc raz trafilem na kogos kto kopiowal gotowce z FAQ. Curacao, tak jak wiekszosc tego typu miejsc — nie MGA, wiec swiadomosc ryzyka po twojej stronie. Limity depozytu da sie ustawic w ustawieniach konta.

    Klikam tu od dobrych paru miesiecy, wiec mysle ze moge cos skrobnac. Znalazlem to przypadkiem, bo mialem dosc weryfikacji ciagnacej sie w nieskonczonosc gdzie indziej. To co FieryPlay ma w lobby wyglada solidnie — gdzies kolo 2800 tytulow, glownie Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt i troche Yggdrasil oraz Betsoft.

    Ja osobiscie siedze najczesciej na Gates of Olympus i Sweet Bonanza, standard, nie ma co ukrywac. Dobrze ze wersje demo sa dostepne od reki, sprawdzilem tak ze cztery nowe sloty zanim zaczalem grac na realne. Sortowanie gier za to kuleje — po dostawcy da sie filtrowac, ale po volatility juz nie.

    Sekcja live oparte na Evolution i to widac. Blackjack, ruletka, i oczywiscie game shows typu Crazy Time — wieczorami potrafie tam zostac dluzej niz planowalem. Krupierzy realni, glownie po angielsku, polskiego stolu nie znalazlem — mnie to nie rusza, ale rozumiem ze kogos tak.

    Oferta na dzien dobry u nich w FieryPlay to 100% do 1500 zl plus spiny z setka darmowych spinow, rozbite na kilka dni. Obrot x35 — ani rewelacja, ani dramat. Byly tez drobne no deposit spiny po potwierdzeniu telefonu, ale to raczej okazjonalnie. Warunki przejrzyj zanim klikniesz — kody potrafia sie zmieniac z miesiaca na miesiac, najnowsze warunki sa opisane na fiery play casino dla pewnosci.

    Rejestracja zajela mi dwie minuty, od 20 zl mozna zaczac. Place karta, ale sa tez Skrill, Neteller oraz Bitcoin. Wyplaty na Skrilla przyszly mi tego samego dnia, na karte czekalem trzy dni robocze. KYC przy pierwszej wyplacie — typowe papiery, przeszlo w jedna dobe.

    Mobilnie gram bez aplikacji, nie ma appki, strona radzi sobie dobrze. Obsluga w FieryPlay odpowiada po polsku w kilka minut, chociaz raz dostalem odpowiedz zywcem z FAQ. Curacao, tak jak wiekszosc tego typu miejsc — dla mnie ok, ale kazdy niech oceni sam. Limitow na siebie nie ustawialem, ale opcja jest w profilu.
