Our spreads*

In margin forex trading, the spread refers to the difference between the bid price and the ask price of a currency pair. The bid price is the price at which a trader can sell a currency, while the ask price is the price at which a trader can buy a currency. The spreads is usually measured in pips, which is the smallest unit of measurement in margin forex trading.

Our swap rates

What are swap rates?

Swap rates are rollover interest rates (that's earned or paid) for holding positions overnight. We simply make an interest adjustment to your account, which is either a debit or a credit, to reflect the cost of funding your position.


Margin Forex

Daily swap charge / credit = One point x (Trade size [or notional amount] x Tom-next)

*We source our Tom-next rates from tier-one global investment banks. These are updated on a daily basis to account for the dynamic swap market.

Note: Our Commodities metal swaps are also calculated in the same way

Indices CFDs

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


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

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

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.

Share CFDs

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


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

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

Cryptocurrency CFDs

Daily swap charge / credit = (market closing price x Trade size x Percentage*) / 360

Percentage*: You can find our latest swap rates on our trading platforms. Swap rates posted on our platforms are indicative rates and are subject to change based upon market volatility.
