Second-Based Contract Trading

In second contracts trading, you can trade in both rising and falling markets. If you expect the price of an asset to rise in a very short period of time, select "buy"; if you expect the price to fall, select "sell". The advantages of second contracts are: No matter how the market changes, as long as the direction is judged correctly, you can make a profit in seconds.

Advantages of Second Contracts

One of the outstanding advantages of second contract trading is that you can quickly realize profit and loss results without waiting for a long market cycle. This instant settlement mechanism means that you don't need to hold positions overnight or pay overnight fees; this can also help you stop losses more quickly and reduce risk exposure when the market is bearish. Of course, like all financial transactions, second contract trading is also accompanied by high risks. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a trading strategy that you are familiar with and can bear the risks. Forecast errors can lead to capital losses, but a reasonable trading plan can help you keep your funds stable.

Practical second contract trading style

The following are several common trading styles suitable for second contracts, which can help you continue to make profits while controlling risks.

1. Ultra-short-term second contract trading

This is the most typical trading method for second contracts. Traders usually complete transactions within 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or 5 minutes. This trading rhythm is suitable for high-frequency trading using small price fluctuations.

Technical analysis-based: Trading decisions mainly rely on technical tools such as charts, indicators (such as MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands).

Focus on short-term trends: No need to care about the fundamentals of assets, only focus on short-term trends.

Scalping: Quickly open and close positions, and accumulate small amounts to achieve profits.

Clear stop-profit and stop-loss: Set the profit and loss limit for each transaction in advance to control the expansion of losses

👉 Example: If you predict that the price of a currency pair will rise within 60 seconds, buy a 60-second "call" contract. If the prediction is correct, you will get a fixed profit after expiration.

2. Trend-following second contracts

Although the second contract is short, you can still judge the direction based on the 1 minute to 5 minute trend.

Combining trend lines and momentum indicators: After confirming the direction of the current trend, follow the trend to trade second contracts.

Continuously monitor the market: For example, before and after the release of important data, the market fluctuates violently and the trend will be clearer.

Set a fixed trading window: Only trade during certain specific time periods, such as when the market opens or when news is released.

Trading Second Contract requires traders to master the methods of real-time monitoring opportunities and analyzing them, otherwise they will suffer losses. Online Second Contract accounts make it easier to open positions and manage risk parameters.

What is a Second Contract investment account?

A trading account is a trader's entry point into the market. Your account shows your trades, cash balances, and the history of communications between you and your broker. You can access your account through an application downloaded and installed on your mobile phone or PC.

An easy-to-register platform allows you to access your trading account and participate in thousands of markets from anywhere. Expect more convenience from your trading account, including additional features such as educational materials, expert coaches, and 24/7 customer support. Traders must register for an online Second Contract account to trade online.

Signing up for a Second Contract account with an online broker is no longer difficult. ATFX Brokers are outshining each other with new features that make it easier for traders to participate in the market profitably. ATFX has a simple and fast account creation process in place. It only takes a few minutes to create an account, register, and fund it. Now you can place your first trade on the best-in-class Second Contract trading platform.

Signup steps for a new ATFX investment account

All platforms require you to visit their registration page and provide basic information about yourself. Once you complete your details, your trading broker will send a confirmation email to your inbox to verify that no one else has created an account using your email. Verify your account and log in to customize your account with more tools and a basic login.

The registration process will take you through all the basics about accessing trading tools, contacting the support team, and depositing funds.

If you are considering opening an account with ATFX.NET.BZ, follow these simple steps:

• 1. Visit ATFX.NET.BZ and click on " Open an Account ".
• 2. Fill in your personal information, such as name and contact details.
• 3. Select the type of account you want and your preferred currency.
• 4. Provide necessary information such as your employment status, financial background and trading experience.
• 5. Upload your ID and proof of address to verify your identity.
• 6. Read and accept the terms and conditions, then submit your application.
• 7. Once your account is approved, you can make a deposit and start trading.

1. Filling out the form

The first example involves filling out a simple form that captures unique details about your identity. Usually, it helps if you fill out your name (like it would on your ID card) and email address. Section 2 of the registration form requires your address, preferred password, and confirmation that you are over 18 years old. Check the box confirming that you have read and agree to the terms and conditions.

2. Documents and ID

For your safety, the broker will ask you to show identification documents. This information reduces vulnerability to money launderers. Identification prevents your account from being hijacked by intruders. It is not uncommon for an online stranger from a different country to know your exact address, date of birth, and other private information.

To ensure that you are the one opening the account, the broker will ask for a scan of your ID or driver's license. A driver's license or a recent bill can prove that the applicant is using a physical address. The identification document ensures that the identity matches the photo uploaded during the verification process.

Other documents that may be used as an alternative include a stamped bank statement, tax ID number, or a recent utility bill. These documents are a last resort if there are issues with submitting other documents. To avoid any doubt, always make sure the name used in your application matches the name that appears in the supporting application documents. Conflicting documents will slow down the application process.

3. Select and configure platform tools

Once you have an account under your name, the next step is to choose a software platform to log in and trade on.

MT4 is the platform of choice for most beginners. It has all the charting tools and trade placement buttons you need. It is arguably the best platform as most other platforms are variations of MT4. In addition, MT4 and MT5 can be customized to suit your trading style and used to test how well trading strategies work.

Online 2-second contracts brokers offer a variety of trading widgets and tools that link to your MT4 or browser platform to help you easily identify chart patterns. Some examples include "autocharts" and links to news sources. Compatibility with 3rd party analytics gives you a broader view of market behavior and upcoming events and allows you to collaborate with other traders.

Confirmation tools give you a more direct approach to technical analysis, giving you an extra edge in your decision making.

4. Login to your demo or live account

Once you have verified your account, an email containing your account login details will be forwarded to your inbox. Use the exact login details on whichever platform you choose.

We recommend keeping one or more demo trading accounts while operating a live account. Demo accounts can help traders get better at trading before they are applied to your live trading account.

When using a web browser platform, click the Login button on the website's login page. There is usually a Demo Login button and a Live Trading button to avoid confusion.

If the MT4(5) platform is already installed, launch the program and enter your login details. The login details include your server IP address so that you can stay connected to the same broker if you need to use multiple gadgets from different locations.

5. Fund your live account and start trading

You can open a Second Contract trading account with no money, but you will need to fund it before you can make your first Second Contract investment. A good Second Contract trading platform offers flexible payment options, as well as promotions such as deposit bonuses.

Common account funding methods include bank and bank card transfers, e-wallets, and money orders. E-wallets are the fastest way to deposit or withdraw funds from your new Second Contract account.

Professional advice: Only deposit funds that you can afford to lose. To buffer against potential risks, start trading with a small portion of your funds as you gain experience in Second Contract trading. As you gain confidence and hone your trading skills, use familiar trading strategies to increase the size of new orders.
