What is the spread?

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.

What is the overnight funding adjustment?

Every time you hold a trade open overnight – unless you’re using a 1X account, or trading on shares with 1:1 leverage in a CFD or spread betting account – 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.

How is the overnight funding adjustment calculated?

Formula

Relevant interest rate benchmark (eg SONIA for underlyings denominated in sterling) +/- our daily fee (0.01096%)

Why am I charged overnight funding adjustment?

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

How is the guaranteed stop-loss fee calculated?

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

Formula

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.

Other things to think about

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

Market movement

The direction and distance that a market moves will obviously affect the value of your trade.

Margin

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.

Leverage

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.
