Stock CFDs trading hours (GMT+2 time zone, please note DST may apply)
Monday – Friday: 00:05 – 23:50
Stop/Limit Order levels may vary during news or unusual market conditions without prior notice.
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 stock currency’s relevant interbank rate. In the table above the swap values are indicative of the annual percentage. 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) and can take several minutes. On Friday the swap is charged for three days.
CFD stocks are not physical shares and are not subject to any voting rights. When a corporate action occurs, a price adjustment may be applied to eliminate the impact on clients' trading accounts.
Margin requirements may be subject to change before earnings announcements and/or any corporate action.
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.
