What are the commission and swap fees?

COMMISSIONS



What are commissions?



Commissions are a charge made by a broker through the electronic communications network (ECN) for their service of buying or selling intruments for you, the trader.

How much are the commissions on FTUK accounts?



Commissions are charged at a flat rate of $4 per standard lot on FOREX pairs only.

There are no commissions appicable to commodities, indices or cryptocurrencies.

The commission is the same on all trading platforms and account types.


SWAPS



What are swaps?



Swaps are fees charged for keeping a position open overnight or over the weekend.

How much are the swap fees at FTUK?



We have removed our swap fees from all intruments on DX trade and Match-Trader to keep things as simple as possible for our traders.

Swap fees on c-Trader are still charged at the rate set by their broker, Purple Trading.

Please Note: Swap fees can be either positive or negative amounts.
