Question 1

What is a Market Order and how do I set one up?

Accepted Answer

Take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations by setting a target rate and letting Centtrip watch the market for you. If the market reaches your target rate, we will automatically execute the buying or selling of your specified currency, day or night. So you don't have to worry about missing an FX opportunity.

Types of Market Order

1) Take Profit

A Take Profit Order enables you to take advantage of favorable market movements. Choose a target rate better than the current market level. If the market reaches your target rate, your order is automatically processed on your behalf. You can set this up directly within your Centtrip account.

2) Stop Loss

A Stop Loss Order can be used to stop further loss when an appreciating market starts to reverse. This protects you from purchasing currency at a poorer rate than expected or required. Choose a 'worst case' target rate that is weaker than the current market level and your order will be automatically executed if the market reaches this rate, protecting your profits. Contact our team to discuss or place a Stop Loss Order.

3) One Cancels Other

This is a combination of both a Take Profit Order and a Stop Loss. If the market appreciates and the Take Profit Order is triggered, the Stop Loss will automatically be cancelled. Conversely, if the Stop Loss is triggered the Take Profit Order will automatically be cancelled. These are enable you to take advantage of a positive market move, whilst protecting a key level.

Question 2

How do UK public holidays affect my Centtrip service?

Accepted Answer

Centtrip will be closed on the following UK bank holiday dates.

You can still access your Centtrip account online and via the app as normal, however, account load, foreign exchange and payments will not be available. If you have any associated deadlines, we recommend making arrangements at least 2 full working days before the public holiday.

For example, if the holiday is on a Friday, it's best to load your account, send payment or purchase currency by the end of Tuesday.

If you would like assistance with your foreign exchange, please contact our currency experts on +44 (0)20 3735 1735 or email dealingdesk@centtrip.com.

Question 3

Why could my foreign exchange (FX) rate change after booking a conversion?

Accepted Answer

All rates that are offered when you request a quote through your Centtrip account are real-time rates based on the live foreign exchange market.

This means that they are subject to change as the market moves and on occasion, the actual rate at which your currency is purchased may be slightly different to the rate that was shown at point of booking your conversion.

This change is reflective of the market at that time and can affect you either positively or negatively.
