Account Setup Process for Pakistani Traders
Opening an Octafx account from Pakistan requires verification using local documents such as CNIC, passport, or driving licence. The entire registration typically completes within 10 minutes for standard accounts. Begin by visiting octafx.com and clicking “Open Account”.
Enter your full legal name exactly as appears on your documents, provide a valid email, and create a secure password with at least eight characters, including uppercase, lowercase, and numbers. Select Pakistan as your country and input your mobile number with the +92 code. Choose your preferred account currency; PKR is recommended for ease of local banking.
Document Verification Requirements
Submit clear images of your CNIC’s front and back. Acceptable formats are JPEG and PNG, with a maximum size of 5MB. Verification times generally range up to 24 hours during business days. Additionally, upload proof of address issued within the past 90 days, such as utility bills or bank statements matching your registered details.
Our verification team works Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM PST to process documents efficiently. Ensuring documents are legible and correctly oriented speeds up approval time.
Web Terminal Access Methods in Pakistan
Pakistani clients can access the Octafx web terminal through direct browser login, mobile browsers, or desktop browsers. The platform requires no installation. Simply enter “octafx.com” in your browser and click the “Login” button.
After entering your email and password, the system redirects you to the trading dashboard within seconds. Alternatively, bookmarking “trade.octafx.com” allows instant access to the terminal interface, bypassing the main website navigation.
Mobile Browser Optimisation
Our web terminal adjusts dynamically to different screen sizes, allowing smooth navigation on smartphones and tablets. Touch-friendly controls enable precise order entries, while swipe gestures facilitate chart and timeframe changes. The mobile interface replicates desktop features, including full charting and order management.
Internet Connection Requirements
We advise a minimum of 1 Mbps download speed for basic terminal operations. For real-time charts and live news feeds, 5 Mbps or higher is optimal. Pakistani broadband and 4G networks typically meet these standards. Automatic reconnection protocols maintain session continuity during brief internet disruptions, storing session data up to 30 minutes after disconnection.
Trading Interface Navigation
The Octafx web terminal interface is divided into five main panels: Market Watch, Charts, Trade, History, and Account. Market Watch lists over 50 currency pairs, including local pairs like USD/PKR. Charts provide multiple timeframe options and technical indicators. The Trade panel allows order placement with risk controls. Account summarises balances and open positions.
Users can customise their workspace by rearranging panels and saving preferred chart layouts. Navigation tabs load independently, improving response times for Pakistani traders.
- Real-time bid and ask prices
- One-click trade execution
- Adjustable chart layouts and timeframes
- Extensive technical indicators
- Integrated economic calendar

Chart Analysis Tools
Charts include over 30 indicators such as Moving Averages, RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands. Timeframes range from 1 minute to monthly intervals, with historical data available back to 10 years for major pairs. Drawing tools help identify trends and support levels.
Order Management System
The platform supports market, limit, and stop orders. Traders can select Good Till Cancelled (GTC) or Day validity for orders. Stop loss and take profit levels can be modified post-placement. Partial closing options and trailing stops automate risk management with precision.
