Direct costs

We use multiple liquidity providers from Tier -1 banks and institutions, to give you the best possible prices on our wide range of markets. We offer two main account types, with a slightly differing price structure:

Standard account

All fees - apart from any overnight funding - are included in the spread. There is no commission to pay with the exception of equity CFDs, which are charged a commission rate dependent on the underlying exchange. This provides a straightforward fee structure for newer traders or those seeking an easy-to-manage account.

Razor account

Offers identical trading conditions to our Standard account, but with commission-based pricing on margin FX. Clients can enjoy raw spreads from 0.0 points, alongside fixed, transparent commissions from $3.50 per lot, per side.

Spreads

The spread is the difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price. It's usually measured in pips - the smallest unit of price movement in trading.

Commission

If you trade on a Razor account, you'll pay a commission on each margin FX trade.

MetaTrader 4/5

For MT4/5, commission is based on your chosen account currency and the lot size of your trade. Please note that on MT5 and MT4, micro lots are rounded up or down.

cTrader and TradingView

cTrader commission is calculated as 6 USD roundtrip fixed per unit, and TradingView commission is calculated as 7 USD roundtrip fixed per unit. If your trading account is not USD, it will be converted at spot rate in your account currency. Commission on trades lower than 1 lot will be proportionally adjusted.

Pepperstone platform

Commission on the Pepperstone platform is calculated as 3.5 USD per 1 standard FX lot per side. If your trading account is not USD, 3.5 USD will be converted at spot rate in your account currency. Commission on trades lower than 1 lot will be proportionally adjusted.

Margin forex

We don't charge commission on margin FX trades made on our Standard account. There's a 1 pip markup on margin FX pairs. For single stock equity CFDs, we charge a commission which is dependent on the market traded.

Additional trading fees

These are charges that may apply, depending on the positions you hold.

Rollover interest rates apply to positions held overnight and may result in interest being earned or paid. If you hold a position past 5pm New York time, an interest adjustment will be applied to reflect the cost of funding your position(s).

The specific calculation varies depending on the instrument being traded. If you trade forex or CFDs on a spot basis, most trades settle two business days after they are opened (T+2). However, some currency pairs, such as USDCAD and USDTRY, settle on a one-business-day basis (T+1).

Any positions that remain open at 5pm NY will be rolled over to a new value date and will therefore be subject to the swap adjustments outlined below. This timeline is impacted by both weekends and public holidays.

Daily swap charge / credit = one point x (trade size [or notional amount] x tom-next)

We source our tom-next rates from tier 1 global investment banks. These are updated daily to reflect the interest differential between the two currencies involved.

Note: Our commodity CFD metal swaps are also calculated in the same way.

Daily swap charge / credit = (market closing price x trade size x (our charge* +/- ARR) / 360


*Our charge is 2.5%. If you’re long, you pay ARR. If you’re short, you receive it.

Commodity CFDs:

Daily swap charge / credit = (trade size x (basis* +/- our charge**))

*Formula for the basis = (P3 – P2) / (T2 – T1), where: P2 = price of front-month future P3 = price of next-month future T1 = expiry date of the previous front-month future T2 = expiry date of the front-month future

**Our charge = CFD mid price x 2.5% / 365. If you pay the basis on your trade, our charge is added; if you receive the basis, the charge is deducted.

Daily swap charge / credit = (market closing price x trade size x (our charge* +/- ARR) / 360

*Our charge is 2.5%. If you’re long, you pay ARR. If you’re short, you receive it.

For more information on ARR or other inter-bank reference rates, please see this link.

Daily swap charge / credit = (market closing price x trade size x percentage) / 360

You can find our latest swap rates on our trading platforms. These are indicative rates and are subject to change based upon market volatility. The exact rate will depend on your trading platform.

TradingView will only show the swap charge after it has been applied

If you hold a position on one of our index or share CFDs past the ex-dividend date, we will make a cash adjustment to your trading account to reflect the dividend payment. This means you’ll neither be advantaged or disadvantaged by the dividend.

When an open position is rolled from Wednesday to Thursday for T+2 pairs on a trade-date basis, the new value date becomes the following Monday rather than Saturday. As a result, the swap/rollover applied on Wednesday evening will be three times the amount shown in the table. The same principle applies to T+1 pairs on a Thursday. This adjustment reflects how FX value dates roll over in the underlying market. Indices and stocks typically factor in weekend financing on a Friday.

When a holiday occurs, value dates roll forward following standard market conventions. A settlement date is valid for an FX transaction only if the central banks of both currencies are open. If either currency has a holiday on the intended settlement date, settlement is postponed to the next day when both central banks are open.

For example, if today is Wednesday and the GBPUSD value date would normally be Friday, but there is a USD holiday on the following Monday, then at 5pm New York time on Wednesday, the value date will roll from Friday to Tuesday (instead of Monday). It cannot roll to Monday because Monday is a holiday and no USD settlements will take place on that day. This results in a four-calendar-day rollover (4-day roll).

If the position remains open on Monday, that day counts as a 0-day roll. So the swap rate will be 0, meaning the position will neither earn nor incur a swap. The 0 day roll is variable and it may not always fall on the day of the bank holiday.

Trading conditions

Margin requirements

The initial margin requirement for a trade depends on the leverage, the size of the trade, the instrument and your account currency. You can calculate this using our margin calculator in your secure client area.

Minimum and maximum trade sizes

Trade sizes vary depending on the characteristics of each instrument, including lot size and market conditions. While you can typically trade from as low as 0.01 lots, both the minimum and maximum trade sizes are not fixed and may differ across instruments.

Account maintenance and inactivity fees

We don't charge any account keeping or inactivity fees. However, to free up space on our servers, we may archive accounts that hold less than ten units of currency and have not been used to trade for three or more months. This enables us to provide the best possible trading conditions for all active clients.

Archived accounts can be reactivated upon request, or you can create a new live account by logging into your secure client area and selecting 'Add a trading account'.

FAQs

No, we don’t charge for deposits or withdrawals. 

If your position is still open at the close of business (5pm New York time), it will be subject to a swap charge (or benefit). This is a daily financing cost applied to reflect the interest rate differential between the currencies in the pair you are trading.

  • If you're long (buying) and the swap rate is positive, you'll receive a swap benefit. If it's negative, you'll be charged a swap.
  • If you're short (selling) and the swap rate is positive, you'll receive a swap benefit. If it's negative, you'll be charged a swap.

Swap rates may change daily. Any updates are published on the trading platform and take effect immediately.

On both our account types, you'll pay commission when trading CFDs on shares, ranging from 0.07% to 0.20% per side. On a Razor account, you'll also pay fixed, transparent commissions from $3.50 per lot, per side when trading margin FX CFDs.

If you hold a position on an ex-dividend date, your account will be adjusted to reflect the dividend amount.
