What is the spread?

The bid-ask spread is the difference between the bid and ask (‘sell’ and ‘buy’) prices of a  market.

The buy price  is always bigger than the sell price. So for your trade to turn a profit, the price needs to move more than the spread in the direction you’ve chosen.

Spreads can change depending on the time of day and market conditions, so always check the platform for the latest.

What is the overnight funding adjustment?

Every time you hold a leveraged CFD trade open overnight, 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. Take a look at the calculations below.

If you make a 1:1 leverage (ie unleveraged) CFD trade on most markets, you won’t pay or receive overnight funding. There are some exceptions, however:

  • Natural Gas
  • US Cocoa
  • Volatility Index (VIX)
  • Forex pairs with Turkish Lira (TRY)

How is the overnight funding adjustment calculated?

Formula

Our daily fee +/-  Interest-rate benchmark

The benchmark* follows the underlying market’s currency e.g. 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:

  • For GBP, CAD, SGD etc: 4% / 365 = 0.01096%
  • For USD, EUR, CHF, JPY etc: 4% / 360 = 0.01111%

We choose the divisor to match the standard in the market’s currency.

*Relevant interest-rate benchmark includes an underlying spread adjustment fee. This is incorporated within the relevant fee e.g. SOFR, SONIA.

Why am I charged overnight funding adjustment?

You’re charged overnight funding adjustment to cover the dealing costs inherent in holding a CFD position overnight.

What is the guaranteed stop-loss fee?

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 when you use a GSL. You can see the GSL fee on the deal ticket before placing your trade, once you’ve selected a GSL.

How is the guaranteed stop-loss fee calculated?

The guaranteed stop-loss fee is calculated by multiplying three components: guaranteed stop premium (in percentage), CFD position open price, and quantity.

Formula

GSL fee = GSL premium * CFD position open price * quantity.

You can check the GSL fee value on the deal ticket when opening a position and adding GSL.

Other things to think about

Of course, our charges aren’t the only factors that’ll affect your CFD trade’s profitability. You should also consider the following.

Market movement

The direction and distance that an underlying market moves affects the value of your CFD trade.

Margin

The amount required to open and maintain a CFD trade. Consider whether you can afford it, both at the outset and if the margin should change to reflect market conditions.

Leverage

You should be comfortable with the leverage you’re using. Your exposure may be many times what you’ve paid to open, which amplifies both gains and losses.
