The average spreads indicated here are calculated throughout the day. They tend to be narrower under normal market conditions. However, spreads may widen as a result of important news announcements, during political uncertainty, because of unexpected events that can lead to volatile market conditions, or at the close of the business day, or at the weekends when liquidity is lower. During such volatile and illiquid market conditions most liquidity providers quote spreads larger than normal. At such times, spread may increase.
Swap rates are calculated according to the Index currency’s relevant interbank rate. Long positions are charged with the relevant interbank rate plus a mark-up, and short positions receive the rate minus a mark-up. The operation is conducted at 00:00 GMT+2 time zone (note that DST may apply).On Friday the swap is charged for three days. For future CFDs there is no daily swap charges.
The margin is always calculated using Lager Leg when you Hedge the Positions on CFDs.
The margin requirement for CFDs is calculated like this : Lots x Contract Size x Opening Price x Margin Percentage and not based on the leverage of your trading account.
