Choosing Your Trading Account Configuration

We provide two main account configurations: Standard and Custom. The Standard account is optimized for quick start with default settings, while the Custom option lets you tailor trading parameters before activation.

Standard Account Benefits

Custom Account Advantages

Custom accounts allow choosing between MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, or OctaTrader platforms. You can select leverage levels from 1:1 up to 1:1000, depending on your risk appetite. Demo mode is available for practice, while real accounts enable live trading and profit withdrawals.

Account Setup Steps

• Visit the OctaFX website and select “Open Account.”
• Choose between Standard or Custom configurations.
• Fill in required personal details and verify your email.
• Select preferred platform and leverage (Custom only).
• Fund your account to begin trading.

Both account types provide access to our comprehensive market instruments and advanced execution technology, ensuring smooth trading experiences for users in the Philippines.

Identity Verification Process for Philippine Traders

To comply with regulatory standards and unlock full platform features, account verification is mandatory. This process typically completes within 24 hours after submitting required documents. Philippine traders must upload clear photos of valid government IDs such as passports, driver’s licenses, or national IDs.

Proof of address documents like utility bills or bank statements dated within three months are also required. Ensure images are clear, unedited, and all details are legible. Our automated system handles most verification cases, but manual review may be needed for unclear submissions.

• Valid government-issued photo ID
• Recent proof of address document
• Clear and complete document images
• Matching personal data across submissions

Notifications about verification status and further requests will be sent via email. Verification is essential before withdrawals and certain advanced platform features become available.

Funding Your OctaFX Trading Account

We support multiple deposit channels tailored for Filipino traders. These include local bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and popular e-wallets. The minimum deposit starts at $25 for most methods, enabling various budgets to access our trading services.

Available Payment Methods

Credit and debit cards such as Visa and Mastercard process deposits instantly, allowing immediate trading access. E-wallets including Skrill, Neteller, and Perfect Money offer quick and secure payments usually completed within 15 minutes. Local bank wire transfers support higher deposit limits but take 1-2 business days.

Deposit Processing Times

Electronic payments reflect on your account balance instantly or within minutes, suitable for fast market entry. Bank wire transfers require additional processing time, so plan your funding accordingly.

To fund your account, log in to the OctaFX dashboard, select “Deposit,” choose your preferred payment method, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. Your balance updates automatically upon successful payment confirmation.

Platform Selection and Installation

OctaFX supports three main platforms: MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), and our proprietary OctaTrader. Each platform offers unique features catering to different trading styles and technical requirements.

MetaTrader 4 Features

MT4 is favored for its stability and extensive library of 30 built-in technical indicators. It supports automated trading through expert advisors and customizable chart layouts. Installation is simple: download the setup for Windows, Mac, or mobile devices from our site, requiring about 50MB of disk space. Connect by entering your OctaFX credentials to access live markets.

MetaTrader 5 Advantages

MT5 extends MT4’s capabilities with additional order types and an integrated economic calendar. It supports more asset classes and provides faster execution speeds. Installation steps mirror MT4 and are available for multiple devices.

OctaTrader Platform Benefits

OctaTrader features a modern, responsive interface optimized for both desktop and mobile browsers. It requires no installation, operating directly within web browsers. Social trading tools enable you to follow and copy expert traders. Real-time news, economic events, and risk management functions are integrated into the platform.

To start, access OctaTrader via your OctaFX account dashboard, log in, and customize the interface to suit your trading preferences with drag-and-drop widgets and watchlists.

Executing Your First Trades

Understanding order types and execution methods is key to how to trade successfully with OctaFX in the Philippines. Our platform supports multiple order types to match diverse strategies and market conditions.

Market orders execute immediately at the current price, suitable for quick entries. Limit orders allow setting specific entry prices, executed only when the market reaches those levels. Stop orders help manage risk by triggering position closure at predefined adverse price points.

• Market orders for immediate execution
• Limit orders set entry prices
• Stop-loss orders limit losses
• Take-profit orders secure gains
• Pending orders schedule future trades

To place a trade, log in to your OctaFX platform, select the desired instrument, enter trade volume, choose order type, set stop-loss and take-profit levels, then confirm the order. Monitor your positions via the dashboard and adjust parameters as needed.

Risk Management Strategies

Managing risk is essential for sustainable trading outcomes. We advise Philippine traders to risk no more than 2% of their account balance per trade to protect capital. Our platform features a position size calculator that helps determine appropriate lot sizes using your account balance, stop-loss distance, and risk percentage.

Stop-Loss Implementation

Stop-loss orders automatically close positions when prices move unfavorably. Set stops beyond key support or resistance levels to avoid premature exits. Trailing stops further protect profits by moving stops in the direction of favorable price movement.

Portfolio Diversification

Diversify trades across various forex pairs and CFDs to reduce risk. Avoid allocating more than 20% of your capital to correlated instruments. Use our correlation matrix tool to analyze and balance your portfolio effectively.

• Limit risk per trade to 2%
• Use position size calculator before trading
• Place stop-loss and take-profit orders
• Diversify assets to mitigate risk
• Monitor correlation between positions

These strategies help maintain account stability and support long-term trading success on OctaFX.

Withdrawal Procedures and Requirements

Withdrawing funds requires completed account verification and adherence to withdrawal policies. Requests must use the same payment method as deposits to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. You can submit withdrawal requests through your account dashboard by specifying the amount and preferred method.

Minimum withdrawal amounts start at $25 for most methods. Processing times vary: e-wallets process within 24 hours on business days; bank transfers take 2-5 business days; credit card withdrawals may take 3-7 business days.

We do not charge withdrawal fees, though third-party processors might. Maintain sufficient account balance and ensure no active trading restrictions to facilitate smooth withdrawals.

To initiate a withdrawal, log in to your OctaFX account, navigate to the withdrawal section, select your preferred method, enter the amount, and confirm the request. Monitor your email for processing updates and ensure verification is completed prior to requests.
