How much will I have to pay?

Your main payment for CFD trading is the spread (or commission in the case of share CFDs or Forex DMA) – the difference between the buy and the sell price. This is our charge for executing your trade.

Market Number of individual markets Minimum spread Margin rates from Retail clients Leverage equivalent
Forex 68 0.6 0.50% 1:200
Indices 100+ 0.1 0.50% 1:200
Share CFDs 10,500+ 0.1 10% 1:10
Commodities 47 0.3 0.7% 1:143
Cryptocurrency CFDs 6 1 10% 1:10

CFDs are leveraged, meaning you can win, or lose, a significant amount more than you deposit initially. This initial deposit is called margin.
