Shares trading costs and details
Take a look at the costs and charges of CFD trading in the tables below.
- CFD trading costs
Margin
CFDs are leveraged, so you can gain full exposure with just a small deposit, known as margin. This deposit isn’t actually a cost to you, but it can make a big difference to the affordability of your position. Your profit and loss are based on the full value of the position – not just the margin – so leverage magnifies your profits, as well as your losses.
| Market | CFDs | Leverage equivalent |
| Apple | 5% | 1:20 |
| Barclays PLC | 5% | 1:20 |
| BHP Billiton PLC (LSE) | 5% | 1:20 |
| GlaxoSmithKline PLC | 5% | 1:20 |
| Vodafone Group PLC | 5% | 1:20 |
Commission
If you trade shares using CFDs, you’ll be dealing at the real market price. Instead of being charged a spread, you’ll pay a small commission to open and close your position.
| Market | Commission per side from | Min charge (online) | Min charge (phone) |
| UK | 0.10% | £10 | £15 |
| US | 2 cents per share | $15 | $25 |
| Euro | 0.10% | €10 | €25 |
