| Guaranteed stops* A guaranteed stop-loss (GSL) closes the trade at exactly the price level you specify, with no risk of gapping or slippage. Your loss never exceeds the predicted level, but you’ll pay a small fee if your GSL is triggered. | The GSL fee varies depending on the market you are trading, the position’s open price and the quantity. You can check the fee on the deal ticket before opening your trade. Find how the GSL fee is calculated here. *Please note that GSLs are not available on 1X accounts. |
The bid-ask spread is the difference between the bid and ask (‘sell’ and ‘buy’) prices of the security. The ask price (also known as the offer price) always exceeds the bid price, so the price needs to move through the spread before an open position turns a profit. The bid-ask spread can be seen as a measure of supply and demand for a certain asset on the market, and therefore the market’s liquidity is a big factor in how narrow the spread is.
Every time you hold a trade open overnight – unless you’re trading CFDs on shares or cryptocurrency with 1:1 leverage – your position will be subject to a funding adjustment. How the adjustment is calculated, and whether you pay or receive it, depends on a range of factors. You can take a look at some specifics in the examples below.
Interest-rate benchmark +/- our daily fee
The benchmark follows the underlying market’s currency, eg SOFR for USD or SONIA for GBP-denominated markets.
Our daily fee is 4% per year, divided by 360 or 365 days based on currency:
We choose the divisor to match the standard in the market’s currency.

Short positions: receive 0.00685% of exposure
You’re charged overnight funding to cover the dealing costs inherent in holding a position overnight.
A guaranteed stop-loss (GSL) fee is only charged if the GSL is triggered. The GSL closes the trade at exactly the price level you specify, with no risk of gapping or slippage. Since we take on this risk for you, we (and other providers) charge a fee for the GSL’s use. You can see the GSL fee on the deal ticket before placing your trade, once you’ve selected a GSL.
The guaranteed stop loss fee is calculated by multiplying 3 components: guaranteed stop premium (in percentage), position open price and quantity. The formula looks like:
GSL fee = GSL premium * position open price * quantity.
You can check the GSL fee value on the deal ticket when opening a position and adding GSL.
Of course, our charges aren’t the only factors that’ll affect your trade’s profitability or losses. You should also consider the following.
The direction and distance that a market moves will obviously affect the value of your trade.
The amount required to open and maintain a trade. Consider whether you can afford it, both at the outset and if the margin should change to reflect market conditions.
You should be comfortable with the leverage you’re using. Your exposure may be many times what you’ve paid to open, and you could experience fast, large gains or losses.
