Definitions

What is a spread

A spread is the difference between the bid (buy) price and the ask (sell) price for a specific trade. It is therefore your cost of opening and closing a specific position and it could have a significant impact on the profitability of your trades.

Tighter spreads tend to mean lower trading costs, everything being equal. A tighter spread means that the market price doesn’t have to move as far from your entry price, for your trade to become profitable.

Volatility caused by major economic developments and market news can trigger sudden high fluctuations in the price of specific instruments, which can lead to an increase (or widening) of spreads, in order to cover the increased risk of volatile markets.

During daily breaks and in major news, spreads may widen.

What is margin
Margin: can be thought of as a deposit that is required when using leverage. Each time you open a leveraged position a certain amount of your account balance is secured as margin. The exact amount is dependent on the size of the position and the leverage which is being used. Margin is there to guarantee the position you have opened in case it goes against you.
What is a pip

PIP stands for Percentage in Point and it is a standardized unit and is the smallest amount by which a currency quote can change. It is usually $0.0001 for U.S.-dollar related currency pairs, which is more commonly referred to as 1/100th of 1%, or one basis point.

What is leverage

Leverage involves borrowing a certain amount of the money needed to invest in something. In the case of forex, that money is usually accommodated by a broker. Leverage allows investors to command a much larger investment than their capital will allow, thus allowing them to potentially increase their returns while only investing a percentage of the overall value of the asset in question.

Leverage is estimated and depends on the real-time value of the instrument.

What are overnight charges

An overnight charge or sometimes called a swap fee is charged when you keep a position open overnight.

What are Conversion Fees

Conversion fees apply when your account currency is different than the quoted currency of the underlying asset being traded. The fee will be reflected as a percentage of the conversion rate used.
Conversion Fees are as follows:
Profit/Loss: 2%
Overnight Rollover (Swaps) : 2%
CFD Rollover: 2%
Dividend Conversion Fee: 2%
Split Conversion Fee: 2%

What is Inactivity Fee

We charge a $25 monthly fee, if no trading activity has occurred for 90 days or more.

If your account remains inactive for a period exceeding 12 months, an Annual Inactivity Fee of $100 or equivalent per quarter shall apply, minus any monthly inactivity fees already charged.

What is Deposit / Withdrawal Fee

A Deposit /Withdrawal Fee is a fee charged by the Company when depositing or withdrawing funds to and from your account. Currently you will not be charged any Deposit / Withdrawal Fees, as they are all covered by Trade Capital Markets. However we reserve the right to introduce minimum Deposit / Withdrawal Fees upon prior notification to our clients regarding the conditions and amounts of applying such fees.

Examples

Let’s use an example that you would like to trade Sugar.

Sugar’s quoted currency = USD
Position Direction = Long (Buy)
Webtrader Volume = 12,600 ( MT5 = 1.26 lots)
MT5 Contract Size for Sugar = 10,000 lbs
MT5 Volume= Lots * Contract Size = 1.26 * 10,000 = 12,600 lbs

Contract Price Difference (at the rollover from expiring to new month contract)

New contract price minus Old contract price = 0.79 USD
Sugar’s Spread = 0.04 USD
Sugar’s Mid Closing Price of the Day = 11.61 USD/lbs
Sugar’s Overnight Swap Charge = -0.0217 % = – 0.000217

The Daily Overnight (Swap) Charge is calculated as follows:

Daily Swap Charge = Volume * Instrument’s Mid Closing Price * Instrument’s Overnight Swap Charge
Daily Swap Charge = 12,600 * 11.61 * (- 0.000217) = – 31,74 USD
