The minimum initial amount for a withdrawal through Bank Card is as small as 1 EUR/USD while for Wire Transfer is 50 EUR/USD

 

Log in to your personal trading account with GwTrade, select 'Withdrawal’ and then select 'New Request'. Kindly note that you must follow our withdrawal policy which instructs that clients must withdraw via the same method used to deposit, unless that method has been fully refunded or refund limits have expired. In this case, you may use bank wire method to withdraw profits.

 

After the cancellation of a card, banks are obliged to allow limited transaction types to take place, including refunds, usually for at least 6 months. You should therefore withdraw funds to the card you used to deposit, even if this card has been cancelled. You will receive these funds to your new card which is connected to the same bank account as your previous, cancelled card. If the bank account linked to the card is completely closed, you will need to send proof of account closure to our Support department at [email protected]

It is our policy that any withdrawal request should be dealt within 24 hours by the time we received it. Additionally, card deposits made within a 6 month period should be withdrawn to the card in question first, before refunding to any other method, even if other methods were used for funding. Kindly note that after refunding any cards, you will then be able to withdraw via bank wire.

 

There are a number of reasons why your Credit/Debit card may have been declined. You may have gone over your daily transaction limit or exceeded the card’s available credit/debit amount. Alternatively, you may have entered an incorrect digit for the card number, expiry date or CVV code. For this reason, please verify that these are correct. Also make sure that your card is valid and has not expired. Finally, check with your issuer to make sure that your card has been authorized for online transactions and that there are no protections in place that are preventing us from charging it.

If your pending order has not been executed, it may be because you did not have sufficient funds to open the position when the pending order was triggered. If this is the case, the deleted pending order will appear in your account history. Alternatively, your pending order may not have been executed because the specified price was not reached. Please note that for pending Sell Orders, the bid price must reach your specified level; for pending Buy Orders, the ask price must reach your specified level.

 

With Instant execution your order will be executed at the requested price or you will receive a requote. With Market execution your order will be executed at the available market price at the time, at VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)

"The Close By operation allows traders to simultaneously close two opposite positions of the same financial instrument. If opposite positions have different lot values, only one of them will be left open. Its volume will be equal to the difference between the lot values of the two positions, while the direction and open price of the remaining position will be the same as the direction and open price of a larger position. Compared to a individual closure, the Close By operation allows the trader to save one spread:

If the positions are closed separately, the trader pays the spread two times: the Buy position is closed at Bid, and the sell position is closed at Ask.
During the Close By operation, the open price of the second position is used to close the first one, and the second position is closed at the open price of the first position."
