FAQs about our costs and charges

How does overnight funding work?

When you trade CFDs with us, you trade on margin. This means you provide only a deposit to open a position, and we in effect lend you the rest of the money required. If you keep it open overnight, we charge a small fee to cover the cost of the money you’ve effectively borrowed.

For share and stock index trades, our funding fee is comprised of our admin fee plus or minus the relevant interbank rate for the currency in which the underlying instrument of your trade is denominated (depending on whether your position is long or short).

For forex and spot metals trades, it is the tom-next rate plus a small admin fee.

For futures markets there is no overnight funding fee because the cost of funding is built into the spread.

Do you offer guaranteed stops?

What are interbank and tom-next rates?

The interbank rate is the interest rate charged between banks for short-term loans. It is a key indicator for other interest rate charges, which is why we use it as a basis for calculating our overnight funding fees for your share and stock index trades.

Tom-next is the rate used to calculate the funding adjustment when a forex position is held overnight. It is an industry-standard rate, derived from the interest rate differentials of the pair's currencies and market expectations of interest rate change.

What is the spread?

For CFDs, the spread is the difference between our sell and buy prices. We derive these prices based on the underlying market's value.
