What is trading

It is the frequent buying and selling of financial assets (currencies, commodities, stocks) to profit from short-term price movements. It requires speed, precise timing, and the use of leverage.

How does trading work?

We use quick cards to illustrate the basic elements of active trading.

Profit through both directions

Buying

(Going Long): You profit when the price rises.

01

Short selling

(Going Short): You profit when the price falls (you sell first and then buy back later at a lower price).

02

Two elements of success

Leverage

It allows you to increase the size of your trading position (up to 1:500), which magnifies potential profits (and increases risk).

01

Spreads

These represent the cost of your trade. Tighter spreads (which we offer) mean you start making a profit faster.

02

Transparency and Trust
The A-Book Model

This is the section that enhances credibility by disclosing the implementation model.

We operate on the A-Book model - real-world implementation

  • What does A-Book mean? It means that AlphaPipCapital does not take the counterparty side of your trade. We route your orders directly to our liquidity providers (major banks, financial institutions), acting as a neutral intermediary.
  • Our objective: Our profit is limited to execution fees and small spreads (markups). We only profit when you trade, not when you lose.
  • The advantage for you: There is no conflict of interest. Our goal is to ensure the best execution of your trades, because your success is the foundation of our continued business.
  • (Technical explanation): We differ from the B-Book model, where the broker trades against the client. At AlphaPipCapital, we completely avoid this conflict.
