Pricing
You pay the spread, you may pay a commission, and you pay financing if you hold a position overnight. That is the entire rate card. Everything below is the real configuration the engine applies — not an indicative brochure figure.
Account types
Every account trades the same 11,563 instruments with the same margin model. What differs is how you pay for the spread and what leverage you can hold.
| Account | Standard | Raw spread | ECNLowest cost at 1:100 | Professional | Swap-free | Cent | Prop / funded |

The EURUSD figures are computed from the live book at 0.10 pips base spread and a pip value of $10.00 per standard lot. Where a figure is shown as a band, the cost depends on the leverage you open at. The spread and the cost of one lot are at their widest at the maximum leverage the row above publishes, and you are never charged more than that end. The desk commission moves the other way: the keener books that charge a per-lot fee are only open below that ceiling, so an account opened right at the top pays the tighter commission and the wider spread. The spread itself is the instrument’s raw spread plus the trading group’s additive markup, and it is variable — it widens around data releases, the daily rollover and any gap.
Financing
Swap is applied per lot per night at the daily rollover, and reflects the carry of the underlying plus our financing markup. Positive numbers are a credit to you; negative numbers are a debit.
| Instrument | Class | Swap long | Swap short | Triple day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | Forex | -0.700 | -1.000 | Wednesday |
| GBPUSD | Forex | -0.200 | -2.200 | Wednesday |
| XAUUSD | Metals | -12.600 | -4.600 | Wednesday |
| USOIL | Commodities | -1.150 | -0.580 | Wednesday |
| BTCUSD | Crypto | -2.370 | -4.620 | Wednesday |
Quoted in USD per 1.00 lot per night. Rates are reviewed daily against the underlying funding market and can change without notice.
21:00 UTC, every night from Sunday to Thursday. One rollover for the whole book — FX, metals, indices, commodities, share CFDs and crypto are all financed at the same hour. Nothing is charged over the Friday or Saturday rollover.
Positions held over the Wednesday rollover are charged three nights, covering the weekend value date. This is a market convention, not a broker charge.
No interest is charged or credited. A flat administration fee applies to positions held beyond ten calendar days, disclosed on the ticket before you open.
Pricing questions
Cost per lot is the only comparison that means anything. A zero-commission account is not automatically cheaper, and a 0.0 pip spread is never the whole number.
If you trade a handful of positions a week, Standard is almost always cheaper once commission is included — the all-in spread is simpler to reason about. If you scalp, trade size, or run automated strategies where every fraction of a pip compounds, Raw spread or ECN will cost less per lot despite the commission. You can hold several accounts at once and move funds between them instantly.
No. Spreads are variable and reflect the underlying market: they are tightest in the London and New York overlap, widen in the Asian session, and widen sharply around scheduled data releases, the daily rollover and any gap. The figures published here are typical values under normal conditions, not guarantees.
Swap is the cost of financing a leveraged position overnight. It is applied per lot, per night, at the daily rollover — 21:00 UTC, the same hour for every instrument on the book, crypto included — and reflects the interest rate differential of the two sides of the contract plus our financing markup. Positions held over the Wednesday rollover are charged three nights to cover the weekend value date. Swap-free accounts are charged an administration fee instead after ten days.
No platform fee, no data fee, no charge to deposit, and no inactivity fee on a funded account. Withdrawals carry the published rail fee — a flat charge on bank wires, a percentage on crypto and e-wallet payouts, nothing on card refunds. Currency conversion, when your account currency differs from the instrument’s quote currency, is applied at the prevailing rate with a 0.5% markup.
On a Professional account, yes. Commission, financing markup and leverage are all negotiable above a certain volume, and the terms are documented in your account agreement rather than applied informally. Talk to the dealing desk before you fund.
