Market map
instrument decision for Ethiopia: compare the exact symbol by contract size, cash value per price move, trading hours, spread or commission, margin, holding cost and recent volatility before choosing exposure.
| Group | Primary specification risk |
|---|---|
| Forex | Pair/pip/quote conversion |

| Stocks | Exchange hours/corporate events |
| Indices | Point value and constituent-session effects |
Account overlay
Compare Standard, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero on the same symbol, volume, session and holding time. Account name alone does not establish the cheapest result.
Platform overlay
MT4, MT5, terminal and mobile routes affect workflow and automation; they do not change the legal fact that the selected market position is a CFD.
Cost audit
Total cost includes live spread, both commission sides, swap or administration fee, slippage and account-currency conversion. Use a stressed—not minimum—spread.
Availability
Instrument lists, suffixes, leverage and hours can depend on entity/account. The logged-in terminal specification is the final current source.
Verdict
Accept a market only after minimum size, session, cost and margin stress fit the written risk plan. A broad catalogue is not a reason to trade every group.
