There are a number of costs to consider when trading CFDs, including spread costs, holding costs (for trades held overnight – this is essentially a fee for the funds we ‘lend you’ to cover the
leveraged portion of the trade), market data fees and rollover costs (forward instruments only).
The spread is the key cost involved in CFD trading, and is the difference between the buy and sell price of an instrument. The narrower the spread, the better value you
receive, because the market only has to move slightly in your favour to offer the possibility of a profit on your trade.
Some trades held open past the end of the trading day (5pm, New York time) are subject to holding costs, which can be positive or negative depending on your trade direction
and the applicable holding rate. Holding rates can be found in the ‘Product Overview’ for each instrument on the platform.
If you want to trade or view our price data for certain instruments, you will need to activate the relevant market data subscription– this monthly charge is only applicable for
Australian and Hong Kong share CFDs on the platform and is refunded if you execute two or more trades under the same subscription during the subscription period.
You’re also able to roll forward positions over to keep a trade open beyond its expiry date. When you roll a forward position to the next contract, your profit or loss
is realised and you enter the new trade at the mid-price, saving 50% on the spread cost.
